When the sand sculpture trial decides to make trouble

In the depths of the gloomy and dark alley, the handsome and gentle man instantly turned into a monster that preys on people, his eyes glowing red in the darkness, like the vertical pupils of some cold-blooded animal.

At this moment, the abundant spiritual power flowing on Minan Rinhua's body finally burst into dazzling light from the surface of the skin.Every dark corner of the alley was illuminated by the blinding glow of psychic power, and for a moment the surroundings were as bright as day.

Minan Rinka was on alert, ready to deal with the claw that was swung by Onimai Tsuji, which was as fast as lightning.Unexpectedly, Guiwu Tsuji's movements stopped at this moment, his body subconsciously tilted slightly, and his eyes closed.

The surrounding environment suddenly changed from dark and dim to daylight, even the ghost's eyes couldn't stand it.For a moment, Gui Wu Tsuji felt that his eyes did not belong to him...

[System prompt: Oni Wu Tsuji has no miserable heart palpitations value of 3500]

Onimai Tsuji's hand only paused for a moment, and then it fell straight down at a faster speed than before.And Minan Rinhua turned around, her spiritual power made her movements agile and fast.I saw the girl raised her arm, and then slapped Gui Wu Tsuji Mumi hard on the back of his hand.

Hearing a "pa", Minan Rinka slapped Onimai Tsuji's hand in the wrong direction...

[System prompt: Oni Wu Tsuji has no miserable heart palpitations value of 6993]

For a moment, both of them froze in place.

Onimai Tsuji Musan's eyes widened suddenly—since he was defeated by the swordsman Ji Kuniichi who used the breath of the sun during the Warring States Period, he had not suffered such humiliation for hundreds of years.

Minan Rinka was also silent.The slap she just made used more spiritual power than when Xiongying restrained ten imaginary enemies in the entrance exam.Although the attacking direction of Onimai Tsuji was interrupted, there was a burning pain in her palm.

This is the first time she has encountered the so-called "ghost".Was the ogre in the Taisho period so strong?

It is worthy of the Honmaru upgrade task assigned by the time government.

At the same time, the two had the same thought in their minds - this person in front of them was very difficult to deal with.But neither side is willing to show such thoughts on their faces.For a while, the scene fell into a stalemate.

The silence lasted for a few seconds, and Minan Rinhua suddenly spoke first: "Didn't you say you want to show me what you picked up? I'll give you a chance to pick out your pockets again."

[System prompt: Oni Wu Tsuji has no miserable heart palpitations value of 500]

At the moment when the heart palpitations reported by the system sounded, Minan Rinka made a sudden move!The surging spiritual power gushed out of her palm like a big river, and it was approaching the ghost Wu Tsuji in front of her!Although Oni Wu Tsuji went blank for a moment after hearing Minan Rinka's words, hundreds of years of combat experience still made his body respond instinctively.

The man raised his hand to press the top hat on his head, and jumped back quickly, avoiding the impact of spiritual power.He turned around and jumped, and landed on the row upon row of roofs.

Seeing that the plan to deal with these people here is difficult to realize, Guiwu Tsuji Wumi finally chose to leave.It's not like he's causing a commotion near the main road.Just before leaving, he took Minan Rinka's features firmly into his eyes.

A girl with black hair and blue eyes, about 16 years old, wearing a Western-style uniform... There are four teenagers behind her, one of them has silver hair and raises foxes, one has green hair, and two have blond hair...

If such a person continued to stay in the Ghost Killing Squad, he would definitely pose a threat to him.Can't wait a moment - he has to get rid of them as soon as possible...

Watching Oni Wu Tsuji's figure melt into the night, the brilliance of the spiritual power in Minan Rinka's hand flickered on and off, and finally darkened.

She wanted to catch up, but she was afraid that these powerful ogres would harm her sword man after she left, so she had to give up.

The silent alley is now empty except for her, and there is no breath of any other living beings.

Minghu, Smiling Qingjiang, Monoyoshi Sadamune and Hakata Toshiro were waiting outside the alley—they had also noticed the spiritual light wave in the alley just now, but since Minan Rinka's instructions were to wait outside , Although they were anxious, they did not act rashly.

Finally, the slender figure of the girl appeared in the darkness.Minan Rinka walked out of the alley thoughtfully.

The men with swords and swords rushed up: "My lord, what happened just now? We saw that you used your spiritual power in the alley..."

"Ah, this..." Minan Rinhua was still thinking, and the words she said were a little careless, "The man just now was a ghost..."

[System prompt: Minghu's palpitation value is 500]

[System prompt: Smiling Qingjiang's palpitation value is 500]

……

"Is he a ghost?" Hakata Toshiro hurriedly pulled Minan Rinka's cuff to check, "Did the lord fight him just now? Was he injured..."

"Not injured, but his strength is quite strong..." Minan Rinka finally came back to his senses, "If I fight him with all my strength, I don't know how I will win or lose... The Demon Killing Team has always been against Does such a thing exist?"

"If the ghosts are such a powerful existence, we still can't confront them head-on, and we must find other solutions. It seems... Next, we must go to the ghost killing team to collect some information... Maybe they will have something I don't know The way to fight against ghosts..."

"Besides, that ghost just now remembered our looks." Minan Rinhua said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know why he wanted to kill us on the spur of the moment, after all, our group is quite conspicuous, maybe He will seek revenge next time."

The men with swords and swords froze for a moment, and the little fox showed his sharp teeth: "Yeah, that's going to be troublesome, Minghu, we can't do it if we don't think of a way..."

Minan Rinhua shook her head after hearing the little fox's words: "Don't think too much."

Under the incomprehensible eyes of the man with the sword, the judge took out a long aquamarine feather weaving from the bag and put it on his body, tightly wrapped the student uniform, then tied up his long hair, took out A brown wig was buttoned up on his forehead.

"I have prepared both hands." Minan Rinka, with long brown hair, nodded at the men with swords, "Go back to the body sword first. I will bring all your body swords with you. Call you again."

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, this is pretty good." Minan Rinka thought for a moment, "In this case, I only need to spend the food for one person... The task funds given by the government of time can save a lot. few……"

[System prompt: Minghu's palpitation value is 75]

[System prompt: Smiling Qingjiang's palpitation value is 50]

……

In the distance, in a dark courtyard.

Guiwu Tsuji stood next to the deer that was constantly dripping with silver water, the fingers hanging by his side slightly bent, and he snapped his fingers crisply in the still night.

In an instant, two black shadows appeared behind him like ghosts—they were the two ghosts who were closest to him and devoured a relatively large number of human beings.At this moment, the two ogres knelt on the ground behind him, showing a gesture of respect and fear.

——Using fear to rule, this is the method that the king of ghosts—Gimai Tsuji has always used.And now, after suffering the humiliation that almost drove him crazy, Onimai Tsuji had to use all his strength to resist the urge to casually kill these weak subordinates.

He didn't explain too much—the king just needs to give an order—he just opened his mouth and said: "A group of five ghost hunters appeared in Asakusa. The leader was a girl about 16 years old with black hair and blue eyes. The other four were It was a silver-haired young man wearing a half-face fox mask and raising a talking fox, a man with long green hair tied up and draped over one shoulder, a blond short-haired boy in white clothes, and a blond short-haired boy wearing red-rimmed glasses. Even if you contact other ghosts nearby—you must kill them no matter what.”

"I obey." The two ogres behind them disappeared instantly as they had come.

Under the moonlight, on the back of Gui Wu Tsuji's pale hand after being hit, twisted blue blood vessels protruded.His fingers trembled slightly, his nails lengthened and shortened, and his red eyes trembled violently.

Zhu Samaru and Yawaha are the ghosts who came this time in response to the summon of Oni Mai Tsuji.

The two have never met in the past. Although the hunting territory is in Tokyo, there are other ghosts' territories in between.Now, for the first time, the two were forced to abandon the ogre's nature of hunting and killing each other, and cooperated together, so they had to exchange information on each other's blood ghost skills.

The more ghosts that prey on humans become stronger, and powerful ghosts can always develop their own abilities, which are called vampirism.Yawaha's blood ghost technique is the red arrow, which can be traced through invisible traces of ordinary people (ghosts).But the two started from the alley where Oniwu Tsuji and Rinka Minan fought, and followed Rinka Minan's footsteps all the way to the main road, but lost their clues on the side of the road.

"The traces have disappeared here." Yawaha pressed the palm of his hand with eyes on the ground, and the pupils with arrows turned quickly in the eye sockets, but there was a look of embarrassment on his face, "The footprints of five people They all disappeared here, as if they flew into the sky here..."

"Even if you're a ghost hunter, it's impossible to fly to the sky, right?" Zhu Sawan expressed doubts, "If you can't detect blood ghosts, it doesn't mean there are no traces."

Yawaha was a little unhappy at once, but for the sake of the mission, he resisted not speaking.

"In short, let's look for the characteristics that the adults said first." Zhu Samaru took a step towards the light of the main road, and put his feet in white socks and clogs under the light, "The characteristics of that group of people are quite obvious, they must be Many people will have an impression of them. It should only be a matter of time before they are found."

Yawaha was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"When we see them later, what should we say?" He asked as he walked side by side with Zhu Sawan, "Just say 'We are the ones sent by that lord to take your heads'?"

"Not imposing enough..." Zhu Sawan hesitated, "I can't lose in terms of momentum..."

She thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Why don't we put it this way: We are the 'Twelve Ghost Moons' directly under that lord, and we came here to take your dog's life?"

Yabayu was stunned for a moment, and immediately hesitated: "But we are not Twelve Ghost Moons."

"What's the matter? They don't know if we are..." Zhu Shawan urged, "Ghost hunters must know the existence of the Twelve Ghost Moons, right? Maybe they heard the name of the Twelve Ghost Moons Are you too scared to resist?"

Yawaha was still a little embarrassed: "Are you really going to say it? If an adult from Twelve Demon Moons just passed by and heard it, wouldn't it be embarrassing..."

"No, how could it be such a coincidence..."

After some discussion, the two finally agreed on their statements and decided to pretend to be Twelve Ghost Moons.At this moment, the crowded street was finally within sight.The two searched, but still did not find the shadow of the ghost hunter described by Onimi Tsuji.

"It's really helpless." Zhu Shawan shook her head, "In this case, I might as well find someone to ask."

She saw a young girl wearing a blue haori sitting on the edge of the bench under the electric light at a glance, and walked over.

"Hey, have you ever seen five people acting together? The leader is a young girl with black hair and blue eyes, and the other four are a silver-haired young man wearing a half-face fox mask who raises talking foxes, and a green A man with long hair tied up on one shoulder, a boy with short blond hair in white clothes, and a boy with short blond hair wearing red-rimmed glasses." Zhu Shamaru asked directly.

The girl sitting on the edge of the bench raised her face—her brown curly hair had a slight halo floating on the surface, and her blue eyes were slightly golden by the streetlights.

"I see." She replied, pointing to the end of the street with flickering lights, "Are you looking for them? They went that way just now."

After getting the answer, Shu Samaru turned and walked back to Yawaha.She bent her eyes triumphantly: "I'll just say it? The dress of that group of people is terribly conspicuous even in a big city."

While talking, the two ghosts walked towards the end of the street, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.And the girl sitting on the bench finally withdrew her gaze.

"Sure enough, I found it..." Minan Rinhua stood up talking to herself, "I knew I was waiting around here, and I would definitely see the pursuers..."

It's a pity that the men with swords and swords have already entered their own body knives. A knife, two ribs and a short knife are now either hanging on Minan Rinhua's waist or hiding in her arms, so they can't be by her side to echo her words .

Minan Rinka pondered for a moment, then turned around again, wrapped her feet with spiritual power, and quickly entered the alleyway where she fought Guiwu Tsuji.

She took out the hard and sharp short knife Hakata Toshiro from her pocket, and quickly carved a few words on the brick wall.

[System prompt: Hakata Fujishiro's palpitation value is 200]

"Stupid...eyes...well...I...will...change...pretend..." She was engraving while reading, and sheathed the knife after neatly engraving the line, and she was satisfied. nod.

Minan Rinka once again used her spiritual power to leave the alley.She recalled Fujisayama, the place marked by the government of time as the place where the Ghost Slayer Squad recruited new members, so she bought a map at a roadside newsstand and boarded the tram according to the map.

Minan Rinka sat quietly on the tram and waited.Halfway through the tram, she finally heard the system's announcement.

[System prompt: Zhu Shawan's palpitation value is 333]

[System prompt: Yawahae's palpitation value is 333]

"These two people have probably reached the end of the street, and they found no one there, so let's start walking back." Minan Rinhua said to herself, and continued to wait.

After a while, the tram arrived, Minan Rinka entered the train station and bought a ticket.And at this moment, the system's broadcast sound appeared again.

[System prompt: Zhu Shawan's palpitation value is 900]

[System prompt: Yawahae's palpitation value is 900]

"You should have seen my engraved words this time." Minan Rinka finally waited for the complete broadcast.She took the train ticket contentedly and got on the train to the platform near Fujishishan.

Fujisan Mountain is a mountain covered with wisteria flowers from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain.The flowering period of wisteria is in late spring and generally only lasts for about a month.However, the wisteria flower on this vine attacking the mountain does not know what kind of secret technique has been imposed on it, so that it is covered with heavy and bright flowers all year round.

Strings of hanging wisteria flower rolls hold the thin milky white miasma flowing in the mountains, interspersed with the flickering lights of washi paper lanterns, at first glance it looks like a fairyland on earth.

According to the time government's information, every two years, the Demon Slayer Team will use Fujishiyama as the final selection examination room to add new blood to their team.

The swordsmen of the ghost killing team will trap some of the weaker ogres captured on the top of the mountain that is not covered with wisteria flowers, and the young ghost hunters who participate in the final selection will enter the top of the mountain and survive there Seven days and seven nights is considered a pass.Regardless of the number of ghosts killed.

The Ghost Killing Squad takes killing ogres as its mission, and all the organization's operations and expenses are supported by the family behind it—the Ubuyashiki family.

The Ubuyashiki family has the background of an aristocratic family, and in recent years, in order to support the expenses of the Demon Slayer Squad, they have begun to set foot in the business world.Therefore, in the foreseeable next few years, the operating expenses of the Ghost Killing Team will not be a problem.

But the money spent can be made by fake Panni Xibi Xinisuman. After the team members are downsized, it is difficult to quickly replenish the vacant positions.The boys and girls who participate in the final selection of Fujisan Mountain every two years are usually the disciples of the trainers who have retired from the ghost killing team. To cultivate such a disciple, time, money and energy are indispensable of.However, very few people passed the selection, not one out of ten.

……

After Minan Rinka arrived at the station next to Fujisame Mountain, she stayed in a hotel in a nearby village.She sent Minghu's little fox to sneak into the vicinity of Fujiji Mountain to find out the news, and found the members of the Demon Slayer Squad wearing black Western-style uniforms setting up the test site, and learned that the final selection would start in two days.Those who participate in the selection must have the recommendation qualifications of trainers.

Finally, the selection day came.On the morning of the selection day, Minan Rinka changed into a set of neat clothes that were bought in a nearby village and is common in this era, and she put on the haori she used in casual clothes on the outside, preparing to mix into the selection of the Demon Slayer Squad. team.

Although she is not a trainer's disciple, she can still try her luck.Big deal... She just sneaked in through other entrances.

After night fell, boys and girls wearing kimonos and haori draped over their coats entered the foot of Mount Fujishiki one after another. Without exception, they all wore swords around their waists.Minan Rinhua looked at Minghu on her waist, thought for a while, followed up calmly, and blended into the team.

The wildly blooming wisteria forest at the foot of the mountain is getting closer.Minan Rinka noticed that the spirits of the boys and girls around her became more and more tense.They seem to come from different places, although the destination is the same, but there is a distance between them.They don't talk to each other, and they don't wear the same clothes and accessories.

As she walked, Minan Rinka gradually noticed that the pace of a ten-year-old girl in front of her was getting slower and heavier.The girl folded her arms with both hands, her thin back bent into an overwhelmed bow.She gradually fell behind a group of teenagers and girls, and finally squatted down while supporting the stone pillar with wisteria climbing on it.

The girl's haori clothes fell to the ground, and the scabbard around her waist left deep scratches on the wet soil with her movements.But she hung her head, and had no time to pay attention to the soiled clothes and scabbard.

Minan Rinhua was stunned, glanced at the boys and girls in front of her who hadn't noticed the situation at all, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards the girl.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" She kept a distance behind the girl and asked softly.

The girl didn't speak immediately, but her thin back was heaving rapidly.She clutched her neck with both hands, panting rapidly, as if she was pulling a bellows.

Minan Rinka was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the girl in front of her was overly nervous, causing her body to have a stress response and hyperventilation.

She didn't have time to keep a distance from the nervous girl, and hurried forward, grabbed her shoulder and turned her around, and raised her hand to loosen the girl's somewhat narrow neckline.

After turning around, the girl revealed a bluish-white cheek with tears that hadn't dried out.Her eyes lost focus, and she was only panting for breath.In desperation, Minan Rinhua poured out all the contents of the bag, and put the bag on her face: "Calm down, calm down, it's okay... don't be nervous... lie down first..."

She carefully helped the girl to lie on the ground, while regretting that she had left Yaken Toshiro in Honmaru in order to earn palpitation points, while calculating the feasibility of bringing the girl back to Honmaru with a compass for treatment.But luckily, after a while, the girl's breathing finally calmed down, and she sat up by herself.

Minan Rinka took off the bag, wiped off the things thrown on the ground one by one, and put them into the bag.She was packing her things when the girl beside her suddenly spoke in a trembling voice.

"On the top of the mountain where there are no wisteria flowers... there are many ghosts, right?" Her fingers were digging at the corners of her clothes, her nails turned pale: "I don't want to go..."

"I'm so scared... I don't want to go..." The girl didn't know if she was talking to Minan Rinhua, or she was talking to herself, "But the master told me, if you kill one more ghost, you can save countless people... Master Has taught me for so long, I can't help but go..."

"I'm so scared...I'm so scared..."

Listening to the girl's muttering, Minan Rinka paused in tidying up.

After hesitating for a while, she tentatively said, "If... you don't have to go, the damned ghosts will still die?"

"Eh?" The girl heard Minan Rinka's words, and finally a trace of emotion appeared on her numb face.

Seeing that the girl turned her face away, Minan Rinka raised her finger and pointed to herself: "I will take your place in the final selection and join the Ghost Killing Team. You can go back the same way, and you can take care of your master and use the skills you have learned. Protect yourself and important people from the ghosts you encounter occasionally, and you can also be a fake pannier..."

When she mentioned the fake Panni Xibi Xini Suman, Minan Linhua noticed that the girl's expression was obviously stunned for a moment.

[System prompt: Crane Liugong's palpitation value is 33]

"In this way, I will kill the part of the ghosts that you should kill. So there will be no less ghosts that should be killed. The peaceful life you live is just using my share." Minan Rinka said the words full of temptation, "How is it?"

Tsurumiya's greyish eyes flickered for a moment, and the brilliance appeared in the eyes again.

"Is this... really okay?" She did not immediately accept her proposal as Minan Rinka expected, but clenched her lower lip tightly, "If you ask like this, you must not be qualified to enter the final selection Well...can you kill ghosts? I can't let someone die instead of me..."

Minan Rinhua was startled for a moment, then smiled.She got up, raised her hand, and in an instant a huge light blade of spiritual power gathered in her palm, and the radiance was even stronger than the lights all over the mountains and plains.

The girl sitting under the wisteria opened her eyes wide, and the pupils were brilliantly illuminated by the light of spiritual energy, like a clear spring.

With a sweep of Minan Rinhua's slender fingers, the blade of psychic power sank into the ground without a trace.In the next second, a crack more than ten centimeters wide and several meters deep suddenly appeared on the solid ground.

"I won't die." Just as the girl was staring blankly at the cracks on the ground, Minan Rinhua said softly, "Not only will I not die, but I can kill more ghosts and save more people. Believe me .”

[System prompt: The heartbeat value of Crane Liugong Duohuo is 999]

Heartbeat value...

Just as Minan Rinka was thinking, another broadcast suddenly appeared in the system.

[System prompt: Oni Wu Tsuji has no miserable heart palpitations value of 6993]

Minan Rinka was taken aback for a moment, guessing in his heart that he might have heard the two ghosts named Zhu Samaru and Yawaha tell what happened, and saw her writing on the wall...

This is still the same palpitations as before, and I don't know why.Is this the characteristic of ghosts?

Minan Rinka suddenly felt that she could try to use Fujishiyama as a map for scoring points...
