The Giant of Light is Still on the Way to Find Home

A ninja is an unknown person.

As a tool for some people to hide in the dark, at the official level, they can't even find the relevant birth certificates, and they are completely invisible people.

Therefore, even if they are escorted to the police department, their final outcome has nothing to do with the crime they committed.

Therefore, from the moment Xinyue obtained the truth from the mouth of the assassin through illusion, the fate of these ninjas was already doomed.

What's even more murderous is that after Ying An blew them up to half-death with a dust explosion, he also told how he would arrange the scene next, creating a script of infighting in which the betrayer got the mission target and flew away, and then made some small details. Their identities were leaked, making the upper echelons of the alliance even more suspicious of their masters, and they could even make a fuss at the right time.

Under the shackles of thought power, the ninja was dying.

Originally, even if the mission failed, they could die calmly, but now they are full of despair.

Not only is their death worthless, but it will also become a sharp knife for the alliance to stab the master.

Not only that, but they will also bear the stigma of traitors, and they will never stand up again. Even their children will be squeezed out by Ninja Village, and they may not live to adulthood.

There was a cold smile on the corner of Ying An's mouth: "The undead who died under your sword, their anger and resentment, you should experience it well."

He loosened his mind control over their heads.

Night Bat lowered his head sadly, as if he was desperate for everything.

He raised his face again, his cheeks puffed up slightly, as if he still wanted to say something.

laugh!A silver needle shot out from his mouth!

When everyone thought that Night Bat was in despair, he made a sudden move. Even if it cost him his own death, he had to eliminate this biggest threat.

"Good……."

Ying An sighed and raised his right palm, with the palm facing outwards, the middle finger quickly flicked on the thin needle.

There was a soft clang, and when it touched the slightly blue-iron nails, the thin needle soaked in poison rolled back, and the sound was even more urgent than a strong bow or crossbow.

"Big... brother."

"Ni" at the side stared blankly at the captain he trusted, his head fell limply, and Youzi opened his eyes wide.

The reversed thin needle pierced directly through the center of his eyebrows, leaving only a tiny purple needle hole between his eyebrows.

"Presumably, seeing this corpse, your identity as a traitor should be settled."

Ying An withdrew his palm, the smile on his face was still so warm.

……

Full of despair, the night bat crushed the poison pill hidden in his teeth, and committed suicide.

Xinyue used a very fine flame to burn every inch of his flesh and bones into dust floating in the wind.

And in the backyard, the group of wanderers who were bound by Duan's "heavy water" endured the itching all over their bodies, and they were all captured.

After letting Hohenheim use hypnotism to make them confess their crimes, Ying An first blurred part of their memories and planted the idea of ​​burying the corpse deep into their subconscious minds.

From this day on, they feel restless every day, and only after digging and filling in the place where the corpses are buried can they fill up the anxiety in their hearts.

As for the subsequent matters, it should be left to Junsha to deal with.

[Speaking of which, what are these ninjas looking for? 】

Hohenheim was puzzled by the behavior of these people after performing the memory operation.

"I don't know the details." Ying An shook his head. Even the night bats didn't have any specific information about what they were looking for. The task they accepted was to find a skeleton and remove everything on the skeleton. bring back.

[Strange, what kind of skeleton is worth their trouble. ] Hohenheim scratched his head and asked strangely 【And, why are they so sure that the skeleton will be in this hot spring hotel? 】

[Yoshino Hotel, search for newspaper items... Yoshino Junan, narrow down the search scope...] Charles, who likes to read news and newspapers and play games, has made a discovery.

[Six months ago... Golden City Auction House, the item with the highest turnover, a golden amulet... The owner of the item——Yoshino Toshigi]

"That is to say, when the hot spring hotel was being built, Yoshino Toshigi sold this amulet at the auction house and got a lot of money?"

Thinking of Xinyue once said that Honglian Island was once swallowed by magma, Ying An vaguely noticed the connection between these things.

"Perhaps, there is some connection between this amulet and that skeleton."

[Charles, do you have a photo of the amulet stored? ] Xinyue turned her head and asked Charles, she was very concerned about this matter in her words.

After thinking for a moment, Charles directly used his eyes as a projection screen to project a gold-encrusted jade ornament.

Perhaps the place of preservation is not good enough, or it has been buried underground for too long. Most of the ancient seal-like lines on the outside of this ornament have been obliterated. The incomplete patterns, like cheese eaten by mice, are almost impossible to recognize the original form.

【This imprint... is Genji's family crest. 】

Xinyue is worthy of being a witch sacrifice spirit beast who once served in Fengwang Palace (eating and waiting to die), she is quite familiar with these ancient family crests, and can identify the identity of the owner of this decoration at a glance.

[Moreover, it's gold inlaid with jade. In the entire court, there are very few people who are qualified to have this kind of honor. How could they appear here? 】

Genji was originally a member of the royal family and was trusted by the royal family. Before the first shogun who established the shogunate gained power, the military power in the government had always been in the hands of Genji.

However, it seems that because of Genji's relationship with several power ministers, and later even Genji's children launched a rebellion in order to arbitrarily rule the court, so the post of general was able to be handed over to others.

Why do the accessories belonging to such high-class people appear on Honglian Island?

Ying An, who originally didn't care much about the secrets the ninjas were looking for, now became a bit interested.

Because the history of this world is too fragmented, he became more and more fascinated by the mysteries hidden in history.

"Look at how hard these people dug the ground. If the bones were really buried here, they would probably have found them long ago."

Ying An slowly moved the ninja's body with his mind, and he was thinking quickly in his mind as he arranged the scene of "team infighting" in the corridor that was completely messed up by the explosion.

"Assuming that Yoshino Junan really found the amulet when he was digging a hot spring hotel... Considering human nature, if you find such a treasure, you will generally continue to dig."

So, under the premise of digging up the skeleton, would someone really enshrine the skeleton in a hot spring hotel?

This is not to ward off evil spirits, but to recruit evil spirits!

Ying An found the blood-stained silk scarf from his pocket again... Honglian Island, hot spring house, ocean... and volcano.

Looking carefully at the picture on the edge of the silk scarf, Ying An found that on the picture of the volcano, there were three faint vertical lines under the three curved arcs symbolizing hot springs.

I thought it was a pattern of a hot spring, but when I looked at it now, it became three burning incense sticks.

……

Considering the distance in the pattern, Ying An and his party walked along the road opened in the backyard of the hot spring hotel.

In the case of deliberate investigation, all the people and Pokémon with superpowers in this line can be called adventurers, and almost all of them are experts in their respective fields.

About two, three, and 10 minutes later, Ying An locked an inconspicuous cave in the bushes next to the narrow road on the hillside.

The temperature in the dark cave was much higher than outside, and the active flame power made Charles feel uncomfortable, so he retracted into the elf ball, while Xinyue cheered and became the guide of the group .

After cleaning up these ninjas, Xinyue's mood improved for a while, and her steps became much lighter.

Soon, there was a glimmer of light in the dark cave, and a depression was cut out several meters apart on the cave wall, and candles of unknown material were lit inside, releasing a faint luster and a faint fragrance.

As he went deeper into the cave, the temperature inside became higher and higher, and Hohenheim, who was supported by superpowers, was also sweating hotly. He was a little exhausted and returned to his elf ball in a hurry.Ying An's feet are no longer relatively flat rocks, but replaced by a step-by-step staircase, gradually reaching the bottom of the volcano.

"Here...it seems to be a natural melting hole that existed before, and then it was expanded." Ying An touched the hot rock wall, feeling the traces of the knife and ax on it.

[If it is purely manpower excavation, it will take a lot of effort, I am afraid that even Charles can't do it in a short time. 】

Hohenheim devoured the energy cubes used to replenish water, and he also responded to his thoughts.

Even for a hot spring hotel owner with a lot of money, it would be too extravagant to dig such a tunnel from scratch.

【Coming. 】Xinyue pressed her nose against the rock and twitched, and her appearance turned out to be as silly as Erha【I can smell metal. 】

Sure enough, a few minutes later, a thick door made of steel suddenly appeared in front of Ying An.

Ying An slammed the iron-cast door open with his bare hands, and his field of vision was immediately filled with crimson red.

This is already the bottom of the volcano, or in the middle of the crater.

I don't know when the eruption formed such a huge lava cave. The dome at the top is the cooled magma rock. If you break it, you should be able to see the sky directly.

There are many long-burning lamps placed on the stone wall, reflecting the cave with a hazy sense of brightness.And in the center of the hollow, on the quietly flowing and slowly boiling magma river, a tall skeleton was placed in the center of the altar, with several pieces of severely weathered warrior armor placed beside it.

"This is the skeleton they want to find?" Ying An frowned and walked up to the altar step by step.

Xinyue followed closely behind him. After seeing the bones on the altar, she blinked her slender phoenix eyes, seemed a little uncertain, jumped up to the altar nimbly, and surrounded the pile of bones The weathered armor paced around, exhaling beautiful sparks from its mouth from time to time.

[How is it possible that it's him? 】

After recognizing the logo on the helmet, Xinyue jumped back, and the sparks exhaled in shock almost set the altar on fire.

"Why, do you know Xinyue?" Ying An asked curiously.

[Just heard about it. ] Xinyue's eyes were also obviously very puzzled [But if my concubine remembers correctly, he should have died of illness in Kyoto at that time, why did the corpse appear here? 】

[By the way, can you measure bone age? 】

"Uh, it should be possible." Although Ying An has never tried it before, the medical knowledge he has learned all along has played a role at this time. What is difficult.

He bowed casually, and put the skeleton's left hand metacarpal in his palm to look at.

"He's quite old, I guess he was at least 60 years old before his death."

After some calculations, Ying An gave his own answer.

[Then, there should be nothing wrong. 】Xinyue's voice also affirmed [He was the ninth Patriarch of the Yuan family, and was also the commander of the Kyoto Guard Army at that time, but when he was in his 50s, he retired at home and took the position of commander and Patriarch, He handed it over to his eldest son.The concubine thought that he was old and sick, but unexpectedly this man died on this island. 】

【If it's him, I'm afraid I know what they are looking for. 】

Xinyue suddenly knocked over the helmet and the tattered armor, and wriggled her nine tails on it. Just when Ying An thought she had awakened some strange interest, Xinyue finally stopped. down.

[Sure enough, here it is. 】

With a tail wrapped in golden flames, a scroll-like thing was pulled out from the interlayer inside the armor, and handed to Ying An.

"This is... a treasure map?" Ying An stretched out his hand to take it, with a strange expression on his face.

[This is much more precious than any treasure map. 】Xinyue replied angrily【If it wasn't for the loss of this thing, the Genji behind would not have fallen to that point. 】

Ying An listened to Xinyue's words solemnly, and put away the smallness in her heart, and stretched out her hand to slowly unfold the scroll.

"...Silver Feather?!"

Stretching the scroll to the very end, a feather shining with silver luster was quietly inlaid on it, as if telling the vicissitudes of the age of mythology.

[You are really knowledgeable, it seems that I don't need to explain it. 】

Xinyue pointed to the golden flame behind her [Similar to the fire I inherited, this feather is the token of Lord Rogia, the god of ocean currents. 】

"I see." Ying An caressed the soft silver feathers with a delicate expression: "The royal family inherits the fire seed of the Phoenix King, and Genji inherits the silver feathers?"
