[Blade of Ghost Slayer] as bright as the sun

Filling it in, the straw used to cover the rain was whimpered by the wind, which really sounded like a ghost.

Shui Zhu walked to the entrance and stood still.

He felt that he shouldn't go in—ghosts shouldn't be in there, and he didn't really want to desecrate the dead bones in the house—besides, the house was so dilapidated that Tomioka Yoshiyuki had the illusion that if he went in by himself, he would trample on the house.

He also thought of another piece of news that the family who stayed overnight gave him: the ghosts did not eat people near the village. Some time ago, many people disappeared when they went through the small woods by the river to go shopping in the city. The place where ghosts eat is in the woods.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka calculated with his fingers.

Dozens of people have disappeared from this village, and without exception, they all disappeared in the forest.But the villagers said that no one was missing for a few days, and assuming the ghost had caught enough people to stock up on rations, it would have almost finished eating by now.

Even though no one was missing, some people witnessed the presence of ghosts, and the strangeness of this village became more and more intense.

A song with a strange tone came from the riverside, like a young girl humming.Shui Zhu turned around abruptly, resting his hand on the handle of the knife and galloped towards the source of the sound.He thought to himself that if it was a ghost who hummed the song, he would cut off the head of that man-eating monster.

A girl with long black hair and a bright yellow jacket was sitting on a big rock by the river, holding a palm-sized stone in her hand.

The girl turned her back to Yoshiyuki Tomioka, humming an out-of-tune tune while throwing stones into the sky and catching them again. Some scattered straw sandals and dirty socks were casually thrown beside the stones, just right from the youth’s perspective The girl's bare ankles could be seen swaying in mid-air.

Her feet are different from those of ordinary girls. Tomioka Yoshiyuki didn't look carefully, but just glanced at them slightly. Even so, he could still see the dense scars on the girl's ankles.

Shui Zhu stopped, and he hesitated.

"...One entry?"

The girl who was named turned her head, and she threw the stone in her hand into the whirlpool in the river.I don't know if it was dazzled, but Tomioka Yoshiyuki saw that the edge of the stone was a very ominous dark red.

Like dried blood.

Take a closer look, most of the stones under the big rock where the girl is sitting by the river have such patterns, and their edges are stained with irregular dark red.Tomioka Yoshiyuki thinks this may be a specialty of the nearby area.

"Isn't this Mr. Yiyong?" Yiri Rixiang greeted him with a smile, "Passing by?"

Tomioka Yoshiyuki immediately found a reasonable explanation for the other party's appearance here: "Are you in charge of this village?"

"That's just passing by," the girl jumped off the stone, dodged into the youth's blind spot and began to put on her shoes, "I'm just passing by like you—this village is quite closed, and ghosts have appeared for almost ten years , the news hasn’t spread yet.”

She inquired very clearly.Tomioka Yoshiyuki thinks.

"Did you find the ghost?" he asked.

"No, that guy is very cunning. He only caught a passing traveler two days ago, and he didn't come out so soon." Hinata Kazuri replied, "The one who was caught was not from the village, and they wouldn't tell you if you asked. .”

The terrain here is remote, and the residents of the village basically maintain a self-sufficient life. It is clear which family has raised a few chickens.Occasionally there will be tourists and monks passing by, and the villagers will scramble to take them in, because the remuneration given by the travelers is likely to be their income for several months.

It is poor and secluded, but delicately maintains a strange ecological balance.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki subconsciously asked one more question: "How do you know that it is a traveler who was arrested?" No one in the village noticed it. Where did he get the news when he entered Hinata?

The girl with black hair and red eyes smiled and replied, "Because I watched him get eaten."

The young man was taken aback, and immediately pointed the knife out of the scabbard at the girl.It is a serious violation of the rules of the ghost killing team to refuse to save them. As ghost hunters, their first task is to protect ordinary humans from the sharp claws of those ghosts.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki's sword is different from Ichiryuga's sword. The blade of the ghost hunter who uses the water breathing method is blue.Hinata liked this color very much once she entered it, and she thought blue looked especially good under the moonlight.

The girl squinted her eyes, and pressed her hand on the blade of the Sun Wheel Saber like a jackpot.

"Mr. Yiyong is still as honest as before," she said, "I told you I'd rather die, and you'll believe me."

Yoshiyuki Tomioka watched as her fingers began to bleed from the blade.It took several seconds to realize that Iriri Hinata was joking, so he hastily withdrew the knife and looked at her with disapproving eyes.

Kazuri Hinata raised his bloody index finger and pressed it to his lips.

"Hush—Mr. Giyuu, keep your voice down—"

She had a good laugh.

"Let me tell you a secret, I have a thin blood physique."

"Do you think the ghost would go mad at the smell of thin blood?"

madman

The girl with black hair and red eyes smiled at Tomioka Yoshiyuki with her injured finger up.

There was an unpleasant smell of blood in the air.The night wind blew aggressively through the woods by the river, as if trying to overturn the only intruder who stayed at home dishonestly.

A shriek that didn't sound like a human voice came from the woods behind the girl.A monster with the color of bark jumped out from the end of the line of sight. Its copper bell-like eyes were fixed on Ichiri Hinata, as if it couldn't detect anything else.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka subconsciously drew his sword again.The blade of the Sun Wheel Knife approached the ghost's head with a dazzling halo like water waves, and the coercion emanating from the young man made the monster nailed in place and unable to move.

This ghost is not strong.

Tomioka Giyuu reacted quickly.

Cutting off its head is only a momentary matter.

Yet his blade did not touch the monster's neck.Ichiniri Hinata smiled and used his weapon with the lightning knife pattern to hold Tomioka Yoshiyuki's. The golden and blue blades touched each other, making a tooth-piercing sound of metal collision.

"No, Mr. Yiyong, this is my prey, you have to be reasonable."

The girl's tone rose slightly, which reminded Shui Zhu of a colleague of the opposite sex who was far away from the Ghost Killing Squad's station.As expected, these two girls were brought out by one person, and the tone and demeanor of their smiles are very similar.

However, Hinata Iriri hates people saying that she is the same as Butterfly Shinobu.

The young man retracted the knife in silence.

He didn't want to conflict with Yirui Xiang.The entire Ghost Killing Squad knew that this person was a lunatic, and reasoning with a lunatic would not work, she would only think what she thought was reasonable, and everyone else was making trouble out of no reason.

"Thank you for understanding." The smile on the girl's face became brighter, "I knew that Mr. Yiyong is a good person."

...Is this considered a good person?

Tomioka Yoshiyuki felt that he couldn't keep up with Ichiri Hinata's thinking circuit at all.

While he was standing there dazed, the girl turned around and aimed the knife at the monster that was about to flee back to the woods.She flicked her arm casually, and the Hilun Saber escaped from the master's control and flew towards the target, pinning the ghost precisely on the big tree facing Yirui Hyuga.

As soon as Hinata turned his head slightly, Yoshiyuki Tomioka felt that she seemed to glance at him.

By the time the water column reacted, the girl had already stepped on the stones in the river and jumped to the other side of the river.Her movements were so proficient that Tomioka Yoshiyuki even suspected that this person had been lurking in the village for several days.

A guy who is not familiar with the place can't accurately step on so many stones without lowering his head.

The girl walked up to the ghost who was nailed to the tree.She put her hands behind her back and poked her head out to look at the monster's face.The ghost's body smelled very bad, it was a mixture of moldy organic matter and blood, but once it was daylight, he didn't even blink his eyes, as if his sense of smell had failed.

"Hey, can you talk?" she asked with a smile.

"let me go!"

The monster didn't answer the girl's question, it screamed, trying to break free from the control of the sun blade.

"It's really great that you can talk." Oneiri Hinata clasped his hands together as if talking to himself, with a brisk tone, "Hey, have you ever seen a ghost who uses a pair of fans as a weapon...he can kill Zhu , it should be the twelve ghost months, right?"

The ghost nailed to the tree was still roaring, and had no intention of answering at all.

"That ghost's hair looks like blood, and he's always laughing," Hinata Kazuiri continued patiently, "Hey, have you seen him? Do you know where he is?"

"Don't know!" growled the monster in pain, "Do I have to know that kind of thing?"

The smile on the girl's face disappeared.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka was not familiar with this area, and it took him a while to cross the dangerous-looking river by stepping on stones.When the young man approached a person and a ghost, what caught his eyes was the girl's stiff expression like a delicate doll placed in a window.

"How come you don't know?" she said softly, "You should know."

What responded to her was a sharp curse that escaped from the monster's mouth.

The conversation has stalled.Ichiri Hinata kept repeating paranoid speeches such as "You should know where he is" and "Tell me who he is", and Oni cursed angrily while trying to break free from the control of Hikari Saber.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki couldn't stand it anymore.

He really didn't like ghosts, but he didn't think it was right to torture ghosts like this.

Shui Zhu lifted the knife, and the blade rolled in blue waves and surged past the girl's sight.When those waves disappeared, the ghost nailed to the tree was left with a headless torso.

Ichiruri Hinata stared blankly at the Oni's body rapidly deconstructed and finally turned into ashes.

"Mr. Yiyong is really a good person." She murmured, "I can't do it."
