Dramatic Blade

The building in front of the printing factory collapsed, so many people did not escape, the screams were extremely shrill, and they looked desperate and terrifying in the raging fire.

During the fight between Nuliang Rikusheng and the crazy painter, Zhen hurriedly released his feathers, and the feathers were painted as black birds, which can be used as his sight for a short time to find where the boy Ah Shi is.

Although Kuanghuashi's monster power is low, Nuliang Rikusheng will not underestimate him because of this.

He is the master who created this strange story. The real strength does not lie in demon power and swordsmanship, so the slippery ghost is extremely vigilant, not only staring at the crazy painter in front of him, but also paying attention to the surrounding plants and trees, and even the poison behind him. .

Unexpectedly, the mad painter only wanted to collide with his sword, and the sword technique unexpectedly made Slick Ghost feel exquisite and familiar...

Slick Ghost's pupils reflected the fire, but they seemed to be covered with chaotic smoke. A feeling of confusion and uneasiness emerged from the bottom of his heart, as if a short knife was cutting across his skin along his spine. , The crazy painter's eyes explained everything about him.

"I found it, Lu Sheng!" Zhen suddenly shouted.

Nuliang Lusheng's heart shuddered, but the gap in strength was absolute.

Time seemed to be speeding up all of a sudden. When the crazy painter was repelled and was still turning his wrist, the speed of the slippery ghost increased to the extreme, the muscles of the whole body suddenly tensed, and the sharp knife light seemed to cut through time and space. to the face of the enemy.

The mad painter was stunned, the knife he hastily raised was naturally unable to resist such a lore blow, instinctively allowed him to retreat while counterattacking, reducing the damage he was about to receive.

The figure of the slippery ghost passed him.

The extreme speed and the blade sliced ​​through the monster's flesh, splashing blood all over the ground, pale fingers pressing down on the huge wound on the body that slanted down from the left shoulder, and the blood stained the palm in the blink of an eye.

The mad painter bent down and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.

"...What a beautiful speed." He murmured, his body was on the verge of falling, but he held on and did not fall down.

Nura Rikusho, who originally wanted to give this blow, then rushed past the mad painter and rushed into the sea of ​​flames, froze his movements abruptly, his pupils constricted violently.

The boundless black fear of fire lingered endlessly, and it seemed that he didn't understand why he stopped.

The palm-sized black Gebu was split in two, and when it fell into the air, it was licked by the tongue of fire, as if luck was ruthless and vicious.

The slippery ghost turned around stiffly.

He saw a pair of bright red eyes that belonged to ghosts.

There was once a seed formed in the sea of ​​corpses and blood. It may have started from Asahikawa’s transformation into a ghost at the beginning of the time. From a long distance, he saw the night walk of the ghosts led by the previous generation of slippery ghosts. Several times of fate made this seed Formed in emptiness undiscovered.

Slick Ghost heard the screams in the printing factory behind him, which seemed to be mixed with a voice he was most familiar with. He should rescue him and protect him from any harm. He felt compensatory, but when he saw the familiar eyes in front of him, he saw a memory-like hallucination at the same time.

Nuliang Rikusheng gripped the knife tightly.

He hurt Asahikawa for a while with the Miyagi Maru in his hand.

This kind of cognition made him feel a little trance, and the hallucination given by the mad painter immediately unfolded before his eyes.

It was also a trap that Nuliang Rikusheng had to step into.

In the hallucination, in the Dragon Palace treasure box intertwined with dark blue and darkness, the demon-eliminating knife is inserted between the floating light of the water. No matter how many years it has passed, the clean experience will make the blade forever clean and new.

After the monster left, the evil spirit looked at Miyagi Maru motionlessly, as if solidified into a hard and cold stone sculpture, only the scarlet eyes were still eye-catching and chaotic in the dark, with a strange madness emerging from time to time.

After the slippery ghost left, how long Asahikawa spent alone in this cage for a while, even he himself didn't know.

His perception of time is completely confused. For hundreds or even thousands of years, he only repeatedly absorbs and tastes the inexplicable feelings that have been born in his heart, as if this can resist the wear and tear of time on the spirit.

He thought carefully about his past and everything he had experienced.

When the teacher planted a dream for him, he actually made a stubborn wish in his heart, wanting to draw the real world of monsters that the teacher once described.

But at the same time, he was also obsessed with the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts he saw when he just became a ghost.

That's the real, unreachable and inaccessible team that humans can join.

Asahikawa's fate with the Nuragumi had already been formed for a while, so that the subsequent overthrow shook his entire concept and spirit.

Even knowing that Nuliang Rikusheng will not miss the appointment, even knowing that the time in another world is different from the time in the world they are in, even knowing that the other party is trying their best to find a way to save themselves.

But he stayed alone in the treasure box of the Dragon Palace for too long, too long, long enough for love to turn into hate.

The whispers that used to be whispered turned into nightmares and whispered curses, and gradually grew into resentment against countless people and false resentment for injustice.

Even so, the slippery ghost still hasn't returned.

The shattered half of the sun wheel knife was also taken away, leaving only a Miqie Maru in front of the ghost.

In this hallucination, Nuliang Lusheng saw that the hard and cold stone sculpture finally raised his hand at a certain moment, smashing the clean demon-repelling knife inch by inch.

The fragments of the blade sliced ​​across the soft throat, and he saw Asahikawa drink the curse-like pain with fury and ferociousness and desperate calmness for a moment.

Even so, he still couldn't come back.

Heartbreak is nothing more than that.

"Lu Sheng!"

Zhen's cry suddenly cut through all the illusions in front of him, causing the slippery ghost to gasp in shock, like a drowning person getting air, and wake up in pain.

The surrounding scenes returned to the fire and blood, and he saw the mad painter——Asahikawa looked at Zhen helplessly for a moment—as if he hadn't counted the unexpected appearance.

"You are……"

Nuliang Lusheng's throat was dry and his head was full of cold sweat. He expressed his guess: "The weird story created by Jingzhai?"

The red-eyed Asahikawa looked at him for a moment. Although he has the eyes of a ghost, he is a monster in essence. Because of the existence of monster power, Tricky Ghost has never been able to recognize his aura.

In the Dragon Palace back then, Jingsai hid behind the ice wall to observe Asahikawa and got a wisp of his blood, so they guessed that Yuanchao's last strange story was about Nura Rikusheng or Asahikawa Ichimo.

Apparently they guessed right.

The mad painter was still bleeding, he seemed to have eased the initial pain, put down his hands, and admitted frankly: "Yes, the ghost story was compiled and born using the story of 'things that don't exist', 'Asahikawa who forgot the monster' It's the best material, I have all the memories, and I became a monster."

He said with subtle pride in his tone: "I know more about ghost stories and painting methods than Jingsai, and I am the best candidate to deal with you. Before the Nura group came back from Itsukushima and launched a general attack on Kyoto again, Jingsai killed me. Created, I absorbed all his demon power for use by the Hundred Story Group."

Guai Tan · The Ghost of the Painter.

It is the true identity of the crazy painter.

Why was it possible to create such an Asakusa ghost talk, to create a boy from the past, Ashi, who has a detailed understanding of the Nulianggumi, as well as the psychology and moves of slippery ghosts.

There are accurate answers.

For a while, Asahikawa was indeed the best candidate to deal with Nura Rikusheng.

The tongue seems to be stiff, Nuliang Rikusheng knows that Asahikawa will not be controlled by others for a while, even if it is created as a strange story, it will not be easily driven by Abe Seimei who he does not recognize.

He wanted to ask why, but he also understood the reason from the hallucination.

The mad painter stopped doing it anymore. He knew that he was somewhat schizophrenic, and his behavior seemed to be full of contradictions, but he himself didn't care much about it.Acting according to one's own definition and acting according to one's own ideas are not irreconcilable.

After all, the relationship between him and Yuanchao really needs to be explained in a close vocabulary, which is more like a "contract" rather than "the creator and the created".

Jing Zhai, who really created the crazy painter, is dead. He took over the position of Jing Zhai. According to the definition, he wants to draw a new ghost story for the Hundred Monogatari group, bring pain to the slippery ghost Nu Liang Lu Sheng, and Lian Yuan The essence of "pursuing strange stories and being weird to the extreme" cannot be changed even by the tide.

This is the definition given to him by the Hundred Story Group when they created Kuanghuashi.

Asahichuan, who was crazy, condensed from strange talk and hatred, looked at the expression of the slippery ghost for a while, and smiled faintly.

"Either kill me and save another fake Asahikawa Ichimo, or watch him burn to death. I will tell you all the information about the Kyoto Youkai and Abe Seimei."

He whispered, "I was created by definition to cause you pain."

This Asakusa will be destroyed tonight.

Choose, Nura Rikuo.

……

Mrs. Zhu Shi, Zhan Xin'an.

I received a request for help from Ubuyashiki earlier, and went to the remote mountains of Tono.

There is a stronghold of monsters in the deep mountains of Tono, and there are indeed ghosts haunting the vicinity. It is suspected that there is a new conspiracy and tricks sprouting by Oni Wu Tsuji, please be careful.

During my trip to Tono, I met a cunning ghost, which is the reason why I declined your invitation and stayed alone in Asakusa.He seems to be a new generation of cunning ghosts, immature and weak, very easy to attract the strong and be attracted by the strong, his heart is very naive.

But it is more in line with what the teacher said than the previous generation, the big monster that appeared in the Heian picture scroll.

My teacher once experienced the Warring States Period, claiming that nothing in the 99 countries can surpass the creativity of demon painters, but he is always concerned about the style of that country in his dream.

As my successor, I saw in this slippery ghost the extreme weirdness and strangeness that I pursued.An extremely weird emotion sprouted in my heart, more ethereal and illusory than real desires, just like when the moonlight I drew flowed to the sky, this emotion fell like fine snow, and my sight would Can't help but go down and see the reflection of the monster on the water.

I hereby take the liberty of writing to inquire.

Why do ghosts have such a mirror-like emotion, which can make the human heart beat again.
