Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 419 The identity of the attacker
But Saber also has selfish motives.

Although the above reasons and reasons are valid, the deeper reason is that once Nozomi Arakawa uses the familiar to startle the caster, the other party will definitely run away.

It was a devastating blow to Rin's actions. After all, it took her a lot of effort to roughly confirm the opponent's location. Once the opponent was frightened and fled, it would be a failure.

"Then, according to Ms. Saber, what should I do now?" Nozomi Arakawa said, "Except for tracking with familiars, I have no clue at all."

"This..." Saber crossed her arms, "I haven't thought about this. How about searching around first?"

Nozomi Arakawa was silent for a while, and then began to grope around, trying to find some clues.

Although what Saber said seemed to be a nonsense, it was also in line with the current situation.

If you really want to use the familiar, you should use it when there is nothing you can do. If you use it now, it will undoubtedly scare the snake, so it is better to find it from the surroundings.

Saber at the side couldn't help sighing after seeing it.

Although it was against her heart to deceive a young man, she had to do so.

Moreover, she didn't know the location of the person who snatched the holy relic. It was only a while ago that Rin shortened the range to a satisfactory level. The exact location was still a little short of accuracy, so she didn't tell her.

The original plan was for Rin to lead her to find the right opportunity to avoid the church's eyes and ears.

Although Arakawa Nozomi's arrival slightly disrupted the plan, it also advanced the time.

It is now approaching evening, and soon Rin and Shirou will take action. Before they complete their mission, I just need to ensure the safety of the boy next to me.

But seeing Wang Arakawa struggling to find clues, Saber couldn't help feeling a sense of guilt, and then she also began to search around.

It was already night when I came here with Rin last time, and Rin's lighting magic alone was not enough to make the light reach a satisfactory state. This time, before the sun goes down, maybe there will be something else Found... It's just that the probability is so low that it's scary.

The two searched nearby in silence. Arakawa searched from the nearby pit to the woods on the other side of the river.

"There's no blood, no footprints... Tsk, magicians' battles really can't be understood with common sense."

He sighed, but didn't he find anything in the end?

I only have seven days, and this first day will soon pass.

"Anyway, the sun hasn't set yet, let's try to expand the search area."

Arakawa looked into the depths of the dense forest, and at some point, he and Saber were completely separated.

But still found nothing.

Although he strengthened his vision, there was too little usable information left after this battle. There was almost nothing left except the traces of destruction.

"Really, if the body of the deceased is still there, maybe some information can be obtained from the deceased."

Thinking of this, Arakawa Wang felt that he could start from the corpses of those who transported the holy relics.

Do you want to think about Tohsaka Rin asking about the location of the corpse?How can I speak after I have gone?

Just as he was thinking about things, the crisp sound from the soles of his feet brought him back to consciousness.

"I seem to... stepped on something?"

Nozomi Arakawa raised his foot gently and in a very small way, and after confirming that there was no trap, he slowly moved his foot away from the spot...

The thing left in place is definitely not a branch or a stick, but something more detailed and exquisite.

The crisp sound just now is enough proof. If I had to describe it, it was probably close to the sound of biting a brittle bone.

However, after he moved his foot and brushed aside the grass, he realized that what he stepped on just now was a bone...a human bone.

Judging from the appearance, it should be a joint... no, to be precise, it is a knuckle.

Why do human fingers appear in such a place! ?
Nozomi Arakawa picked it up, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

This is indeed the knuckle, but the middle part seems to have been split. Could it be because of the kick I just made?It shouldn’t be possible. Judging from the appearance, this knuckle is still very new. It was just stepped on. Even if it is calcium deficiency or osteoporosis, the bones will not be so fragile that they will be crushed with a light foot. degree.

But that was the truth, and he couldn't argue with it.

After thinking about it, he decided to break it off from the cracked part. Although it refers to the knuckles, it is too fragile to say that this is a human bone, unless it is the kind of bone that has been buried in the soil for more than ten years. .

Sure enough, after breaking it open, he was sure that these were not human bones, but wood made to look like finger bones.

"What's going on?" Nozomi Arakawa gradually felt something was wrong.

There should be...

What else is important...

But he searched all over the area, seeing that the sun was almost setting, but he couldn't find the second bone.

"Arakawa-kun! Where are you!"

Saber's voice sounded, and Nozomi Arakawa answered in response.

"I got separated if I didn't pay attention." Saber followed the voice, "How is it? Has there been any progress?"

"I found this." Nozomi Arakawa showed Saber his finger bones, "Do you know what this is?"

"Bone? No...it should be better quality wood, right?" Saber answered after carefully observing it.

"Miss Saber, I'm wondering... if the guy who attacked the delivery team and snatched the holy relic was not a human being?" Arakawa Wang said, staring into her eyes.

"You said... not human?" The dumb hair on Saber's head moved.

"That's right, besides the blood where the victim fell, you didn't see other bloodstains near those big pits, right?"

"The other bloodstains...refer to the blood of the enemy?"

"That's not the case. For example, if I slash at the enemy with a knife, then the enemy's wound will splatter blood along the trajectory of the knife, forming splash-shaped blood droplets, but there is no such blood mark in the place where the battle took place. Only the blood of the victims pooled under their feet." Nozomi Arakawa said, "Judging from the surrounding situation, it is not that the escort team did not counterattack in the face of the attack, but chose to fight with the enemy. Then he was killed directly."

"Maybe that magician is too strong?" Saber said.

"If this is the case, then these people will never have a chance to fight back." Nozomi Arakawa said, "Akiyuki told me that the duel between magicians is a contest between 'concept' and 'concept'. It is just a matter of change." The costs are calculated based on order. The magic foundation laid on this land always exists, but the containers that work are different. In other words, they all use the water source of the same lake, but some water pumps themselves have good energy efficiency and pump There is more water, and the quality of other water pumps is poor, so less water is pumped out.”

"I probably understand what you mean." Saber looked at him with green eyes, "That's why you think that the ones attacking the escort were not human beings, but objects made up of things in your hands?"

"It's just a guess. You see, the phalanx is still very new, right?" Arakawa Wang smiled, "If it's a human, a hasty escape will leave traces, but if it's a doll, it's not okay to throw it away after use. No way."

　Are these pictures okay? This is the delay of the perfect ending of UBW. As for the old man Zou Yan, I just want to kill him.
