Twelve Trials from Scratch

"Wait! You really don't want to save her? It will be too late when that arrow is shot."

"It's always too late, as long as you die once. So shut up and let me see what choice she will make."

Before he finished speaking, the platycodon in the circle of light finally loosened its strings, and the feathered arrow galloped across the sky, spanning a distance of tens of meters in an instant, and shot in front of Inuyasha, and then... disappeared suddenly.

The next moment, there was a cracking sound, and the ancient mirror in Su Qi's hand shook, the mirror cracked, and a feathered arrow broke through the center, shot out, and was instantly nailed to the opposite wall, its tail feathers trembling.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!" The mirror demon immediately screamed, full of fear and unwillingness: "How is it possible!? That woman... unexpectedly... broke through... from the inside... the illusion..."

The voice became weaker and weaker, and finally the spiritual power exploded, and the light flashed, three figures and balls of dead souls were spit out by the ancient mirror.Looking at the mirror again, the surface of the mirror has been shattered and dim, leaving only a trace of spiritual power like a candle in the wind, which may disappear at any time.

Su Qi pulled out the jade fragments of the four souls from the mirror button.At this moment, the last trace of spiritual power dissipated, and Hong Jing, who had turned into a monster, finally died completely.

……

Not long after, in front of the torii gate of the shrine, Su Qi and Kikyo bid farewell to the Koma Inu siblings.

"Master Kenshin, Lord Kikyo, I really don't know how to thank you two for your help." Shishimaru looked grateful and cupped his fists, "Maybe our strength is not as good as the two of you, but if you have something to ask in the future, please don't be polite." , we will do our best to help.”

"That...that..." Du Le blushed and swayed for a while, finally staring at the stone steps under her feet, she said to Su Qi in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Yes... I'm sorry... You are a good person, I shouldn't have called you a villain before... Also, thank you for helping us defeat that mirror demon."

"No need, I'm just doing it for the jade of the four souls." Su Qi smiled lightly, rubbing the fluffy curly hair of the animal ear loli, "but you have to be careful in the future, those villagers probably don't like you very much now. If you If you get kicked out again, maybe no one will be able to help you."

"Please rest assured, with those people alone, we should be able to protect the shrine well."

"Nah... long-winded, I won't be knocked down by those weak humans."

……

After saying goodbye to the Koma Inu siblings, the two walked through the village and walked side by side on the road outside the village.

The blue sky above the head was like washing, and the sun was just right.There are green farmland and fields on both sides. Several villagers are working in the fields. Occasionally, the breeze blows the branches and leaves, blowing from the forest not far away, gently tugging at the sleeves of the two people, with a faint fragrance of grass and trees.

"Did you see the eyes of those villagers just now?" Su Qi said as he walked, "We rescued them from the monsters, but there are more people who hate us."

Kikyo didn't respond, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Why didn't you kill that man?"

That man refers to Sota.

Su Qi did not kill Cao Tai, but of course it wasn't that the Holy Mother let him go all of a sudden, but thought that it would be better for that scum to be killed simply and neatly, and it would be better to make his life worse than death.

Therefore, Su Qixian appointed him as the internal response in front of everyone, and then when they left the shrine, he gave him a generous settling allowance in full view, and secretly told Dule to find an opportunity to abolish that person after he and Kikyo left. The scum has one right hand.

The Japanese like to cuddle and form circles the most, like to exclude and bully others, and they are most afraid of being the object of being excluded and bullied.And after Su Qi's arrangement, even if some people don't believe it, under the hatred and anger of most people, Cao Tai will definitely become the oppressed alien.

Coupled with the loss of his right hand, this era is full of crises and monsters are everywhere, his future life will naturally be worse than death.

But in the face of Kikyo, of course Su Qi would not go into details, but simply said: "Because I suddenly thought that in this era, living may be more painful than dying."

Then the conversation changed, "What about you? Why didn't the last arrow hit Inuyasha?"

Kikyo was silent for a moment, then said flatly: "It's pointless to shoot a false phantom."

"Oh, it seems that you haven't lost your mind because of resentment, otherwise the arrow should have been shot at that phantom."

She was speechless, just looked ahead and walked forward unhurriedly.

After a while, the two came to the intersection, Kikyo suddenly stopped, and said coldly: "Let's stop here."

Su Qi stopped, and after turning his head, he realized, "You want to part ways with me?"

"There is no reason to walk together again."

Indeed, after getting the undigested dead souls of the mirror demon, now the platycodon has fully recovered its strength, so for her, it seems that there is no reason for her to walk with Su Qi.

"I don't think so." Of course Su Qi would not let go easily, so he turned his head and looked at her with a rare expression of seriousness, "I have done so much for you in the past half month, so you are not Think I fell in love with you at first sight, so I want to be a licking dog? My time is very valuable, and it's not for wasting."

Kikyo has no expression on his face, his eyes are as calm as water, "But I, who have lost my life, have nothing to give you."

"Naraku, Jade of the Four Souls, as a victim, as a witch who protects the Jade of the Four Souls, don't you think you should do something?"

"As a dead person, there is only one thing I want to do most."

"Take care of other things first, and then it's not too late to do that."

"However, I, who have been suffering so far in regret and resentment, can no longer bear it."

"Is that so..." Su Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly chuckled and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll help you kill Inuyasha first, and then you help me collect the jade of the four souls, how about killing Naraku?" ?”

Chapter 64 tears flow down

Kikyo didn't answer, but instead said: "These days, I've been thinking about what your real purpose is."

"Purify the jade of the four souls, kill Naluo..." Su Qi frowned slightly, "Didn't I tell you my purpose from the beginning?"

"What is put on the surface is often just a cover-up."

"That's right, but I'm different..." He said with sincerity on his face, "I, Zhi Zhixiong Jianshin, have always treated people with sincerity, and I have always been honest with others. So my real purpose, as you can see, is to purify the jade of the four souls, It's just killing Naraku. You should be very clear that I have always said so and done so, otherwise why would I do so many things for you?"

"You did that, but you also did something else."

"what's up?"

"Excuse Inuyasha."

Su Qi was slightly taken aback, then sighed softly, "Well, you may suspect that this is normal, but I'm really just telling the truth."

Kikyo didn't speak, but just looked at Su Qi.

"You suspect that I have something to do with Inuyasha, so you don't want me to get involved in your affairs with him?"

"I... still can't fully trust you."

"Then at least it's okay for me to be by your side?"

She shook her head. "I don't want to take any risks."

"Then... what if I insist on following?"

Even if Su Qi is sure that Kikyo is calmer than her at the same time in the original book, the "Kankyo" who really wanted to die with Inuyasha, but there is no guarantee that she can really stop in time.

And with her own butterfly that changes the world line, it is hard to say whether Kagome can still exert strength at critical moments like the original book and save Inuyasha's life.

Inuyasha is the male protagonist, and Kikyo is the second female lead. If the two of them perish together, the plot will completely collapse.Then only myself, Kagome, Maitreya, Coral, Sesshomaru and others are left to fight against Naraku. In that case... Well, it seems that it is not impossible to fight.

No... no!If Inuyasha dies, Kagome will definitely suffer a big blow, maybe he will directly hide back to modern times, and it will be troublesome to purify the jade of the four souls.Moreover, the male lead and the second female lead died, so I don't know if it will affect the clearance evaluation. Besides... As a former "Inuyasha" reader, Su Qi didn't want the fate of the two to end in this way.

Now that a time traveler like him intervenes in the plot, even if the final ending is not as good as the original world line manipulated by Aunt Takahashi, it can't be much worse, otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the time traveler?

So in any case, it is best for Inuyasha and Kikyo to be alive; so no matter what, Su Qi must ensure that the result of the meeting between Kikyo and Inuyasha will not collapse.

But his clear willingness to intervene aroused Kikyo's suspicion even more.

"Is it really related to Inuyasha?"

She immediately opened her bow and set an arrow, took a few steps back, and aimed at Su Qi.

"No." The latter remained calm, looked at her quietly and said, "I just want to ensure the safety of you, my future companion."

"I've said it before, I don't want to increase the risk!" Kikyo said with firm eyes.

"I also said that I will not leave easily."

"Do you want me to attack you?" She slowly pulled back the bowstring, looking serious.

"You should know that even if you get back your spiritual power, you are not my opponent." Su Qi looked confident, and his tone seemed to be telling the unquestionable truth, "Your magic-breaking arrow is powerful against monsters and monsters, and it is powerful against human beings." But it's just an ordinary arrow. In that way, even at this distance, I can split the arrow you shoot with a single blow.

"In addition to the most powerful magic-breaking arrow, you should know all kinds of spells and enchantments. But the use of spells takes time, and it also takes time to arrange a powerful enchantment. However, now that we are so close, you will not have any That kind of time, so all things considered, I win."

"Whether this is the case, we have to try to know."

"Then try it."

Before the words fell, there was a soft clang, and the knife at Su Qi's waist had been ejected from the sheath, turning into a thunderous arc, and splitting across the wooden bow in Kikyo's hand.

This time, the latter didn't even react and had no time to release the arrow, but... Dang!With a loud bang, the blade was blocked by a transparent barrier.

However, because of blocking the knife, the barrier also distorted and trembled, as if it might break at any time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kikyo let go of the bowstring, and the arrow shot out, appearing on Su Qi's right shoulder like a flash, and then... was firmly grasped by one hand, unable to move.

"Look, I said it, I will win."

As he spoke, he retracted the knife, and handed the arrow branch held in his left hand to Kikyo.

The latter took the arrow, retracted the quiver, and remained silent without speaking.

Although the enchantment has not yet broken, she is very clear that she has indeed lost.Because her arrow couldn't hurt the opponent, but the opponent's knife hadn't used all its strength, otherwise it might not be able to cut through the barrier she hastily set up.Not to mention that he still has two jades of four souls, once he uses them, he will definitely become stronger.

The so-called witch is after all a special occupation for demons and monsters, and the battle between humans is not her specialty.Coupled with Archer vs. Saber, it is only natural that they will lose.

"How about this?" Su Qi suggested, "Inuyasha is accompanied by companions, and you just want to kill Inuyasha with your own hands, right? Then let me help you block his companions, and you can take advantage of this opportunity." See if I'm on Inuyasha's side. If so, it's not too late for you to find a way to get out of my entanglement."

"Do I have any other options?"

Kikyo gave him a cold look, turned around and continued walking.

Su Qi sighed lightly, then followed.As he walked, he thought about how to operate in the future, so as to not only save the lives of the two, but also let Kikyo dispel the idea of ​​dying with Inuyasha, and aim at Naraku together with himself.

……

A few days later, Maple Village.

On a tall oak tree at the edge of the village, half-demon Inuyasha was barefoot, silver-haired, dressed in red fire mouse fur, with two white dog ears on top of his head, leaning against a branch of the tree, looking at the sunset in the sky with a trance.

"Inuyasha...Inuyasha...Inuyasha!"

The voice from below woke him up. Looking down, a young and beautiful girl with long black hair in a sailor suit was looking up, her eyes were clear and energetic, and there was a little dissatisfaction on her beautiful face.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha turned and jumped down, landed beside the girl, and said absent-mindedly, "What's the matter?"

"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" The dissatisfaction in the girl's eyes became more and more intense. She stared at him for a while, then her expression became depressed, and she said softly, "Inuyasha, are you... still sad about Kikyo?"

They were attacked by Naraku not long ago, and they learned the truth 50 years ago. Since then, Inuyasha has been absent-minded, which makes her a little worried and a little subtle.

Inuyasha was startled slightly, and said in a low voice, "I'm thinking about how to catch Naraku...I...want to avenge Kikyo. This is the only thing I can do for her."

……

"Inuyasha is such an idiot."

Behind the bushes not far away, a handsome man in a blue-black cassock and holding a tin staff secretly watched this scene, and said helplessly: "In this case, how can you mention Miss Kikyo in front of Kagome? It should be said 'I'm actually thinking of you' is right."

He is Maitreya, Inuyasha's companion, who walked together because of his hatred for Naraku. He is a lecherous mage who says "please bear me a child" when he sees a beautiful woman.
