A record of employees smashing walls in the underworld

Unfortunately, Ah Wu was not happy for long.

A few steps from the village, they encountered a stumbling, flustered young woman.

"Help... help! Help me!"

The woman looked about 20 years old. Although the kimono on her body had some traces of being burned, it could be seen that the texture was good, and she seemed to be from a well-off and wealthy family.

There are still such villagers in such a remote place?Could it be the female family member of the village chief's family in the old man Tanabe's village?

"Help me! Someone is chasing me!"

When the woman saw the tall ghost lamp, probably because she saw a little girl on his back, she felt that the two were not bad people, so she rushed forward to ask for help.

"You can't pass! There are monsters in front of you!"

"Excuse me, are you a villager from the village in front?" Ghost Lamp stopped the moment the woman rushed over, keeping a certain distance between them. "You said someone was chasing you, could it be a monster?"

Ah Wu, who nestled on his back, frowned.The ghost lamp may not be clear, but she knows that the old man Tanabe is in front, one of the nearest villages to the Fengshen Shrine.And she clearly remembered that before sunrise, when they were separated from the people at the shrine, it was this village that Yanfeng Erzhu and Ikeda Otoha of the Demon Slayer Squad went to.

Could it be that the village was captured by spider spirits?impossible?

"Stop! Don't run!"

"ah--!"

An exasperated voice sounded from a distance, and at the same time, the fleeing woman was surrounded by blue will-o'-the-wisps, instantly making her stand still in place.

"Let's see where you can go!" Wearing hunting clothes, a little monster like a child appeared in front of the three of them.

Ah Wu recognized that it was the ancient cage fire of Yimulian Shrine.

The moment he looked at the girl, the little guy froze for a moment, then frowned, and curled his mouth, as if he was about to cry.

"Ah! It's Master Ah Wu! It's Master Ah Wu!!"

The dusty little monster saw an acquaintance, and he didn't care to say hello to another stranger he had never met before, and rushed in front of the two, tears streaming down his face.

"Ancient cage fire?!" The girl quickly jumped off the young man's back, leaned in front of the little guy and supported him with concern. "What happened?"

The spider female monster has been completely wiped out. As the aborigines in this area, and Yimulian is the wind god, Gulonghuo should detect it immediately.

It feels right.But now, his tears were not tears of joy.On the contrary, it was more like an emotional breakdown after seeing the savior in extreme panic.

An ominous premonition flooded Ah Wu's heart again.

Could it be that something unexpected happened to Yimulian when she was fighting the monster?

"Ah... ah... monster! Don't come near me!!"

Unexpectedly, the woman who had been surrounded by the will-o'-the-wisp and did not dare to move let out a scream when she saw the ancient cage fire, and pointed her finger at the few people in front of her emotionally.

"You...you are also the accomplices of monsters! Lord Water God will not let you go!"

"Shut up!! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!!" Gu Longhuo, who had always been a child, was furious uncharacteristically when faced with the woman's sharp curses and accusations.Ah Wu believed that if he hadn't grabbed him himself, the little guy would have rushed up to beat him up. "You stupid, wolf-hearted human being! I thought you were Yiye's friend! I misunderstood you!!"

"Calm down, Gu Cage Huo!" Ah Wu held the grinning little monster in his arms, preventing him from jumping up and actually attacking him. "In the end what happened?!"

"Master Ah Wu... woo woo... help, Bye... Bye, she..."

From the other party's somewhat inconsistent description, the two learned the whole story of the incident.

It turned out that the woman in front of her screaming and trying to escape from the ancient cage fire was called Xing, and her son was the No. 1 "cured" little boy in the water god incident.

According to Gu Longhuo, originally, as a little monster guarding the shrine, he guarded the shrine together with the medicine seller who set up a spell barrier.Because Yimulian withdrew the power of the Fengshen barrier, the runaway spiders wanted to follow the fleeing villagers to the mountains after destroying the village.

Fortunately, the ghost killing team's Purgatory Anjuro and Undead Kawa Miniya guarded the front line. They killed many monsters and resisted their footsteps. At the same time, they also rescued most of the villagers from the flames.And Ikeda Otsuba is in charge of leading the people who survived the catastrophe to the shrine protected by the barrier.

However, at the moment when the spider monsters were leaderless due to the death of their mother and lost their fighting power, the duel was about to usher in the dawn, but a sudden change occurred.

In the ancient cage fire in the shrine, what was waiting was Ikeda Otoha, who had been stabbed in the chest, and the two ghost killers who brought her back.

According to them, Ikeda Otoha was attacked by a woman she originally wanted to protect, and she was stabbed in the chest.

If the old man Tanabe and his son hadn't risked their lives to protect the injured Yiye, and if Manzi hadn't rushed to the front line to seek help from the two, she might have been bitten to death by the spiders attracted by the smell of blood. on the mountain road.

And the woman who stabbed Ikeda Otsuba was exactly Xing who was being chased by Gu Longhuo.

"I... I heard from Manko that she saw Xing ran away in a panic, and then she and Mitsunosuke saw Otoha who was stabbed..."

Gu Longhuo was hugged by Ah Wu who flew towards the shrine, and said sobbingly.

"She bled a lot, but... I can't help you with anything!"

Realizing that he can't help Ikeda Otoyo, and knowing that Xing is her friend, the little monster has a hot head, and rushes out of the shrine rashly, trying to catch the escaped woman.

"Don't worry, we've caught her now." Ah Wu has never been very good at comforting others, but seeing the sad and anxious look of the little guy, she can only choose to comfort him first. "Don't worry, that person is very reliable and won't let that woman run away. Let's go back and check the situation first."

As the second in command of hell, Ghost Lantern has always been very good at judging the situation.No, he saw that Ah Wu was impatient, so after a little thought, he asked the girl to take the ancient cage fire back first, while he was responsible for grabbing the woman who wanted to escape, and bringing her back later.

Although things other than the dead are not under their hell's control, it is better for such a person to intentionally hurt someone and be a fanatic of the "Water God" to hand it over to the police station in this world.

Carrying the ancient cage fire, Ah Wu ran all the way back to Mt. Duodu, ignoring the aching wound on his leg.

Although the village at the foot of the mountain was in a mess and the villagers were in panic, she didn't find any particularly serious casualties in a hurry.The originally peaceful and peaceful Mt. Dodo lost the protection of the enchantment, and there were many dead spiders and traces of the fire along the way.

When the girl's feet finally set foot on the stone steps of the shrine again, the three pillars of the Demon Slayer Squad were quietly standing in front of the stone torii gate, as if to guard the main entrance of the shrine.But now, they all turned their backs to the stone staircase at the entrance, just blocking Ah Wu's sight.

"Ah...! It's Yimulian-sama! Yimulian-sama has appeared!"

The excited voice of the old man Tanabe came from inside.

Ah Wu didn't hide her aura, and at the same time she raised her foot and walked up, she saw Purgatory Xingshourou turn his head, just in time to meet her sight.

The young man who always smiled confidently, frowned slightly the moment he saw her, and showed an apologetic smile. "Miss Suzuki... I'm sorry, I was negligent even though I crossed the sea for you."

Saying that, Purgatory slightly turned sideways, giving her a passage.

The scene in the shrine silenced her who was full of words.

The white-haired Fengshen sat quietly in the open space in front of the shrine, holding in his arms Ikeda Otoyo whose clothes were already stained red with blood.

All around, except for the old man Tanabe kneeling on the ground excitedly, the comatose children were lying unharmed under the shade of the cherry blossom trees.The well-dressed drug seller stood beside the children, with the big medicine box that he never forgot to take with him everywhere, as if he was about to prescribe some antidote for these poor children who had been stricken by miasma.

But at this moment, he was facing Ichimolian who was holding Ikeda Otsuba in his arms, and he was still holding the magic-repelling sword wrapped with a wonderful charm and carved with a beast face.

It's like waiting for something to wake up.

For a moment, what the drug seller said during the incident of turning into a cat appeared in Ah Wu's mind.

He travels around the world, and the duty he performs is to kill monsters formed by the combination of fate with people, cause and effect, emotions and monsters.

The spider banshee making waves on Dodo Mountain is not a monster, but a great demon who was sealed by Onmyoji thousands of years ago.

Fengshen, who is gradually being forgotten by people, is not a monster. He has a gentle personality. Even though his power is running out, he is still a pure god born from the belief of the people.

Originally, Ah Wu thought that what attracted the drug seller might be the cause and effect full of sin left by the villagers who fell into madness because of their belief in the water god and the innocent people who died tragically.

But... what if it wasn't the tragedy of the water god that attracted him, but someone's obsession?

"Cough...cough..."

The woman with a pale face and blood loss stretched out her hand tremblingly, caressing the face of the god.

"Please... please don't... show such an expression."

Ikeda Otoha twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to show a smile. "This way...this is fine..." The woman was panting with difficulty, the blood from the wound was slowly oozing out, the stab was too deep, and the situation was chaotic just now, I am afraid that the best rescue has already passed It's time. "I... I'm dead... It's okay..."

"Don't say stupid things...!" God's voice contained strong sadness, "The spider has disappeared, and the peaceful life you have been looking forward to will soon return. So..."

"That's a lie to you..."

woman

Slowly closing her eyes, Ah Wu saw that there were crystal tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

"For me, those things are fine...I just...want to be by your side..."

"That's what I really want."

"Ding--"

Ah Wu's ears caught a fleeting, strange sound.She subconsciously looked at the drug seller, but saw the wonderful animal head on the Demon-Tuemon Sword, the mouth that was originally opened suddenly closed!

At the same time, the flirtatious young man spoke slowly.

"The reason has been realized, and the truth is revealed."

As if he had a tacit understanding, he drew bright red eyeliner, and looked at the girl who was staring at him with slightly raised eyes.

"The monster is about to be born."

The author has something to say: Kekeke, I didn't expect it, it's not Ah Wu and the others that went wrong.

Xing, Manzi, and Yiye have been close friends since childhood, but they gradually drifted away as adults.If it weren't for the bad relationship, the children of their two families wouldn't play together.

Otoba was protecting Xing and tried to lead her to the shrine, but was stabbed by Xing who was completely hysterical because her son turned into a monster.At that time, Brother Yan and Brother Feng were all in the village, and Yiye himself treated her a little negatively, so her injury was not discovered immediately.It's better to say that because the son died, the husband died, and the best friend went mad, being stabbed can be said to be the last straw that broke the camel's back.
