Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 420 The Broken Doll

"But I couldn't find other parts." Saber pinched her chin as if thinking.

If it was true what Nozomi Arakawa said, then there should be more "remnants" around here.

"That's right, even after searching all around, I couldn't find any other parts, but... now I probably know where the puppets used to attack are hidden."

"Is it true?" Saber's tone was slightly surprised.

The previous reasoning alone made her feel incredible. She didn't expect Nozomi Arakawa to know where the doll was hiding. It was a shocking statement.

"The reason why there are fragments scattered here is that those puppets are not unharmed, but it is better to deal with the parts scattered all over the place than blood stains. After all, they are items made of magic power. In theory, as long as the core is intact If it is destroyed, then you only need to use magic to absorb it." Arakawa Wang said.

He didn't know anything about magic at first, but the reason why he has so much theoretical knowledge now is purely because he pestered Qiu Xue to teach him.

"I didn't expect you to know so much." Saber felt admiration from the bottom of her heart, "But where is the doll hiding?"

"It's near here." Nozomi Arakawa smiled slightly.

"nearby?"

"Yes, if it is used to discard objects, then the river is undoubtedly the best choice. This is near the mouth of the river, right?"

"Hmm..." Saber frowned.

It’s not that Rin hasn’t checked the water source, because even if the melting degree is not high, the magic power will be slightly melted in the liquid, but they only thought about detecting the magic power at the time, and they didn’t expect that if the doll was thrown into the river before it was thrown into the river Withdrawing the possibility of magic power, it is only natural that the doll was not found.

However, this cannot be blamed on Rin and Saber, because the cost of dolls as familiars is too expensive, and with the development of magic, their uses are not as wide as other familiars, so they are gradually eliminated.

By now, dolls have become a thing of the past.

Even so, things are rare and expensive, and the dolls themselves have a certain degree of appreciation, so occasionally the dolls that appear in the magic world will be kept at home by some wealthy magic families as collectibles, which symbolizes the family’s financial resources. That is to say, now dolls are just a kind of "luxury" with collection and ornamental value.

For Rin, it was unimaginable that someone would be so extravagant as to use a doll as a prop for an attack and throw it away after use.

"Well, what are you doing?" Saber asked.

But after thinking for a while, Nozomi Arakawa had already taken off his clothes on the shore when he came back to his senses.

"It goes without saying, of course I went down to get the dolls. I was just guessing just now. You have to go down and have a look to confirm the result."

"Okay, then I will be on guard here."

"Well, thank you very much!"

After speaking, he took the wedge pill and plunged into the water.

The running water was icy cold, and it was already dark, but with Nighteyes, he swam like a fish in the water.

The water was not deep, and it didn't take long for him to touch the bottom.

But he didn't find a doll or anything strange, which didn't bother him, because it was less than 30 meters from the confluence of the river flowing into the reservoir ahead.

Generally speaking, when a river flows into the sea, there will be a certain amount of sediment accumulation, because alluvial deposits tend to accumulate in the confluence area and estuary of the river, forming a large alluvial plain.

Although this river is not big, and the place where it flows into is not the sea, but the principle is the same.

Since the puppet is not here, it is only possible that it is at the mouth of the river.

He swam forward, and after advancing more than ten meters, he found the incomplete fragments of the doll.

The closer to the mouth of the river, the easier it is for the puppet to get stuck in the mud.

After surfacing for air, he continued on.

It is a stupid way to not walk in front of the water. If the function of the puppet is not lost, it just falls into a deep sleep and detects the activities of people around it... the result can be imagined.

Regardless, it's always good to be careful.

The wedge pill in his hand reassured him a little. Although he didn't have much experience in underwater combat, he still didn't have the ability to fight back.

With a distance of more than ten meters, he swam carefully for a full minute.

Because the closer to the end of the river, the more fragments of dolls there are.

It seems that the group of people who escorted the holy relics were not mere fish. Although they died, they also destroyed the dolls, but when the dolls were abandoned, most of the falling fragments were absorbed back, so It was not noticed by others later.

Then he finally reached the end.

The picture in his eyes can only be described as horror and weirdness.

Numerous stumps and broken bodies intertwined and intertwined, heads were caught in them, and the dense black hair was floating like algae... This pile of dismembered dolls fell into the sand, but only Arakawa As you can see, there are as many as nine heads on the surface!
Unexpectedly, the other party dispatched so many puppets in order to compete for the holy relic.

But in this way, a new clue has been confirmed!

"--call"

After surfacing, after a while of breathing, Nozomi Arakawa adjusted his breath.

"Are you okay?" A girl's voice sounded.

He raised his head and saw Saber was standing on the shore, with his clothes still at his feet.

It seems that this girl is also very careful, and she followed Arakawa on the shore when she was swimming.

"It's okay." Arakawa Wang put on his clothes, "There are indeed many dolls underneath."

"Really?" Saber didn't react much.

Anyway, Rin has already found the other party's location, and he only needs to protect the safety of Nomo Arakawa.

"Then let's call it a day." Arakawa Wang said, "It's getting late, I have to find a place to stay, you should go back first."

"Negative, Rin told me to protect your safety." Saber said.

Arakawa was taken aback for a moment, and said to himself, are you serious?

But the look in this girl's eyes didn't look like she was joking.

"Do you have a cell phone?" Arakawa asked.

"Is there a mobile phone... yes."

Saber took out a mobile phone with a cartoon lion icon on it from her pocket. Rin bought it for her, saying it was convenient for contacting, and in this day and age, mobile phones are a must-have for communication, even junior high school students have them .

"How about I get in touch with Ms. Tohsaka?"

"No." Saber objected.

"why?"

"What are you going to do?"

"I just want her to order you to go back. You listen to her, right?"

Saber finally understood that Arakawa desperately didn't want her to go with him.

"I understand, I will confirm this with Rin myself."

Saber dialed Rin's phone.

It is now [-]:[-]. As a follower, she can perceive Rin's approximate location. Currently Rin is still in the city and should be on the way there, so it is safe to call now.
