aerobic respiration

"I'm not sad." Yan Sheng had a subtle discomfort on his face, "How could you have such a misunderstanding?"

"Oh, sorry, I misunderstood."

You skillfully followed his words to apologize, and planned to continue asking in a different way, but Yan Sheng stared at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall for a while, and suddenly asked: "A Xie, have you chosen your heir yet?"

"Huh?" You didn't respond, "What?"

"The successor of aerobic breathing." Yan Sheng repeated, "Purgatory's breathing method has been taught to many people, but you and I still have Yuan Yi and the three of them who have never learned the breathing method of swordsmen. If this continues..."

He paused, looking a little gloomy.

Eh.

It turns out that Yansheng is nesting here alone, is he entangled in this matter?

"I don't plan to find an heir." You tell the truth, anyway, no one can learn it if you look for it, and——

"My breathing method was created for (convenient) killing ghosts. After the ghost king is dead, aerobic breathing is useless, and practicing it is just a waste of time."

"How can it be useless?" Yan Sheng frowned, "This is a unique skill that you worked hard to cultivate day and night. Even if it is just a simple sword technique, it is strong enough. Don't you want it to be passed down?"

"That kind of thing is random." You said, "To be honest, rather than looking for the successor of the breathing method, I still hope that in the future, someone will hone a more exquisite swordsmanship and come to me and defeat me."

This is your truth.

Every player has a dream, and your dream is to become a powerful villain. Compared with the enhancement program written by hand, you are more proud of the level you have practiced. If someone can really win this game with strength If you have passed you, then the other party must have extraordinary talent and have gone through countless long and arduous trials before they can win the duel with you. You will smile and acknowledge that person's hard work, and then you will be able to win in the bgm written by Yuki Kajiura Ri watched him advance to higher realms.

Although this dream was cruelly broken seven times by Yuan Yi's Lv. of.

"Are you expecting to be surpassed?" Yan Sheng asked.

"Yeah," you say, "that's funny, isn't it?"

Yansheng began to look at you with that strange look that you couldn't understand again, as if you suddenly turned into some other creature at a certain moment, you were unfamiliar with this, and subconsciously asked: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," he said. "You're fine."

You don't know what it means to be good.

Until the end, Iwakatsu didn’t tell you his wish. You didn’t notice what was wrong with Iwakatsu, and you dragged him out to hunt after chatting. Since Emperor Tenmu promulgated the “ban on killing” in AD 675, eating meat became In addition to the common taboos in this island country of Japan, even a wealthy samurai usually only eats pickled radish and salted fish with rice. Of course, this kind of nutritionally uneven meal combination will not appear on your table. Every few days, he would sneak to the nearby mountains to improve his food, even the frogs.

Yuanyi and Yansheng sometimes come to help. The eating habits of these two people are very different. Yuanyi is CD-ROM pie, he eats whatever you cook, while Yansheng is white rice pie, and he has to bring rice with him. They also eat fishy meat, but because of social concepts, they don't value meat very much.

"Rice is the best food." He always tells you like this, "Ah Xi, eating meat often is not a good habit."

You think there's something wrong with his head.

Illiteracy is terrible, and it is even more so for those with a stubborn personality. In the years since you met again, Yan Sheng has spared no effort to instill in you the concept that "only the inferior people have to eat meat to make a living" every day , so that for a long time you thought he was the one who should go to the temple to become a monk among the two Jiguo brothers, and then you became numb, and when you heard this sentence, you nodded perfunctorily, and then told him the vicissitudes of life , you kill, you eat meat, but you are a good girl.

So it really didn't occur to you that he would choose to become a ghost.

Not long after finding out the cause of the striped swordsman's death, the leader of the Ghost Killing Squad died of illness. During the mourning period, you found the ghost king Wuyou, and started hunting them down. awful.

The legendary ancestor of ghosts has a very awkward face in every sense of the word. When he saw you and Yuan and one or two ghost hunters stuck in the middle of the road, he didn't panic and said casually: "I'm no longer interested in swordsmen who can use breathing techniques."

Then launched an AOE attack on you.

You and Yuanyi moved forward one by one, retreated the other, tacitly dodged to avoid the Wuyou and sloppy hand-throwing group attack, this long-awaited fateful battle lasted only a few tens of seconds, when Yuan cut The saber at your side was not even out of its sheath when you lowered the ghost king's head.

you are silly.

ah?That's it?What about the Great Devil, the source of all evil?Why does Wu Mi look like you can't fight?

Wu Mi was also dumbfounded, he was stunned for two seconds, and immediately turned into Lord Wan Sui, blew himself up into more than 800 pieces of sausage, and ran away in pieces.

you:"???"

What the hell, where is the ghost?What about the frame?Stop playing?

Isn't tonight the grand finale of "Ghost Slayer: Breath of the Sun～Son of the Stripes, Killing Ghosts and Subduing Demons～"?What's the matter with the villain running away in less than a minute after starting the fight? Is it possible that this Warring States fantasy series will have a second part?

You have question marks all over your head, and Yuanyi has already knelt down and started to appease the beautiful female ghost who was kneeling on the ground and scolding Wu Mian why she didn't rush to the street.

Yes, female ghost.

There are actually other wild monsters in your PVP scene, but due to rhythm problems, the two sides did not fight.The young girl named Zhu Shi was once terminally ill, and she was kidnapped by Wu Mi to become a ghost and trapped by her side after seeking medical treatment to no avail. You sympathized with Zhu Shi's experience and let her go after discussing with Yuan Yi.

Before leaving, Zhu Shi formed an alliance with you, and agreed to have a chance to cut Wu Mi together in the future. You watched her staggering away, and shook your head.

You: "Look at this, it's not miserable, it will end sooner or later, even the subordinates who follow him want him to die, and surrender to us every minute, he has failed too much as a ghost."

Yuanyi: "Yes."

"The people will always stand on the side of justice." You look up at the sky, "Did you see that? Yuanyi, our ghost killing team is what the people want. The crusade has not yet been successful, and the swordsmen still need to work hard to kill the innocent. Miserable is the important task entrusted to us by the times, we must keep this firmly in mind, liberate all the oppressed ghosts, and realize Internaxonel!"

Yuanyi: "Yes."

"Ah, I'm hungry." You turned to the direction you came from, "Let's go, go back and find Yan Sheng, and have supper together."

Yuanyi: "Okay."

You turned back the same way, and just a few steps out of the wave, you ran into other team members who rushed over.

"Something has happened!" The purgatory swordsman rushed over in a panic, held you down, and quickly said: "Yan has won the rebel team!"

You: "...huh?"

You stared at him dumbfounded, unable to react for a moment.

"He disappeared for three whole days after parting with us, and the crow just found him." Purgatory Swordsman said again, "All the swordsmen who came to ask Yan Sheng were killed by him. That incredible appearance is definitely not human. ! He turned into a ghost!"

"No," you said, "have you misidentified the wrong person? Or maybe he's got vampirism, so..."

You stutter to find a reason, and your mind becomes a mess.

Yan Sheng turned into a ghost?What are you kidding?He is the governor of the Jiguo family, a decent man with a face and status, how could he lower himself to be a shady mouse in the gutter?

And ghosts can only eat meat, Yansheng despises the fishy meat, you can't imagine him giving up white rice and eating high protein, okay?

The team members who followed Purgatory Swordsman were silent for a few seconds, and said with difficulty: "It's true, Ah Xi, more than one person saw him eating people, you, you..."

you:"……"

You: "I don't believe it."

You push them away, and rush back to the Ghost Killing Team with Yuan Yi who also looks shocked. You don't believe that Yan Sheng will defect, but there are too many people in the team who have confirmed this with their own eyes, and you are powerless to refute.

So you and Yuanyi suddenly became the accusation of thousands of people.

Because of the three serious crimes of defeating Wu Mi, releasing Zhu Shi, and the closely related Yan Sheng defecting to the enemy, you were expelled from the Ghost Killing Squad and were only allowed to take away a saber.

"If you still want to kill ghosts, please rely on this sun wheel knife and work hard with yourself."

Appease the public anger and let go of your new little lord softly.

you:"……"

When the protagonist group was at its most brilliant and closest to success, the evil villain betrayed his teammates, and all fell apart. Isn't this a standard Hollywood movie plot?

Grass, Yaoshou's Warring States fantasy series, is there really going to be a second one?

-

"And then?" Tanjiro asked.

"Then? What else can there be?" You said, "Since your companion has gone astray, you can only find a way to bring him back."

"Why?" Shitou Wuichiro, who had been listening silently, also asked, "Yan Sheng has turned into a ghost and even ate people. Basically, there is no way to save him."

"No, just like Zhu Shi, he was deceived by that alluring bastard Wu Mian." You said, "As long as Wu Mi is killed, he will wake up and be saved."

"Oh." Shi Tou lowered his head, took another toffee and stuffed it into his mouth, and said calmly, "Then it seems Miss Meat Eater and the others have failed."

Hey, this kid, why is his mouth so poisonous?

... But he is right, you have indeed failed.

After leaving the Demon Killing Squad, you and Yuanyi lost the eyeliner of the Ubuyashiki family and the crow, and the ability to obtain information was greatly reduced, and Wu Mi was determined to become Voldemort, so he plunged into the mountains and never appeared again. You and the female ghost Zhushi, with her help, you have traced the ghost king several times, and even watched his back again.

But you can't catch him.

Is it luck, or is fate playing tricks?You don't know, anyway, one of these two things must be hindering you. At that time, you didn't know that Yuanyi was not bound by the condition of "the striped swordsman must die at the age of 25". Every time he thought about it, he had to kill Wu Mi before he passed away.

You feel like you've messed up Yuanyi's life.

You are someone who shouldn't exist. If you hadn't committed suicide in the backyard, he wouldn't have exposed his anomalies when he was seven years old, and then he would not have been chosen as the heir by the house governor, and had to leave home early for his brother.

Yuanben can safely grow up to ten years old.

If you hadn't messed around in the years after leaving Jiguo Mansion, Yuanyi might have gotten married and had children already, and enjoyed enough family happiness in his short but just youth.

If you told him that Zebra had side effects when you first discovered it, he would definitely avoid other people, so that Yan Sheng would not be infected, and he would not be deceived by Wu Mi because of a mistake.

Countless mistakes have brought about the current situation.

You don't know why your good cards are so bad, and you feel that you are sorry for your wife, and you start to worry about whether you can fulfill the vow you promised. With this unspeakable bad mood, you are fighting hard to kill the ghost king the first line.

Um?after?

Ah, all stories have an ending, so the miserable days of chasing and killing finally ended in a bland night.

On a certain day that you can’t remember the season, you went out to improve your food as usual, because Yuanyi didn’t come with you, so you stayed in the forest for a long time, until it was dark, and you swung briskly down the mountain with a bunch of hares, the night in the forest was as cool as water , you were humming a song, and met Yan Sheng unexpectedly under the bright moonlight.

He looked no different from the past, he was still wearing a black kimono with red flowers, clogs, a long knife with a red sheath in his waist, his clothes were tightly closed, as if he was about to go to Shuzaoyuan for a meeting with his retainers in the next moment .

"Axie." Yan Sheng called from a distance, he seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated after opening his mouth, so he didn't say anything.

It takes you a while to be convinced that he is really back.

"Yan Sheng!" You shouted in surprise, Da Da ran forward: "Are you back?"

Yan Sheng stood still, and when you got closer, he hummed.

You want to ask him if he's doing well and if he's getting enough to eat, but when you think about it carefully, you don't think it's appropriate—you don't mind if someone you know turns into a monster, but you can't hit it with Yan Sheng's shot. Fart's sullen personality, it's hard to say whether he will think too much.

After all, he was tricked into becoming a ghost by Wu Mi.

"What happened?" You asked tentatively, "Why did you come to see me all of a sudden?"

Hurry up, hurry up, you use your eyes to hint at Yan Sheng crazily, and signal him to tell you that he is already sober, and he will never follow a plate of mobile dumplings, and decide to give up cheap meat and come back to eat delicious white rice.

Yan Sheng froze for a few seconds, then said in a low voice with some embarrassment: "A Xi... I regret it."

you:"!!!"

"What's the matter?" You immediately asked, trying not to let the smile on your face be too rampant, "Wu Mi was struck by lightning? Wu Mi fell into the cesspit?"

Yansheng: "..."

Yansheng: "No, no, just a little... a little regret, regret that I have become what I am now."

"I actually wanted to come back," he said, "but I didn't dare."

"Why?" You asked, "Why not? Yuanyi and I are looking for you every day, do you know how much we miss you?"

Yansheng: "..."

You: "Come back!"

"...I'm afraid that Yuan will look down on me for a while." He finally said, "We are all ghost hunters, but I betrayed everyone and became a member of ghosts. If we meet, he may cut off my neck. "

"What are you thinking?" You said in disbelief, "Yuanyi won't do that, come back at ease. If he really wants to draw his knife and chop you, then I'll shave his head first."

You patted your chest and assured Yan Sheng that he was gradually persuaded by you to go home with you.

The way back is short and long. You seem to have walked for a long time, and it seems that you have walked not far from the door of your house in just a blink of an eye. Sheng said, "We're almost there!"

Yansheng nodded, and you continued to lead him forward, when suddenly you heard a soft sound of a sword being unsheathed behind you.

A reddish blade slices through your chest.

"Your heart can really turn black," you heard Yan Sheng whisper, "I thought Yuan Yi was joking."

……what?

You stared at your chest with a blank mind, and the continuous warning sounds of the system sounded in your ears.

"Warning, the character's heart is broken, please take rescue measures as soon as possible"

"Warning, the character's serum myocardial enzymes are elevated, please take rescue measures as soon as possible"

"Warning, a large amount of blood has been detected flowing into the pleural cavity, please take rescue measures as soon as possible"

……

"Danger"

Thick red blood gushes out from the wound on your chest, and Yan Sheng's knife hits your pericardium, but fortunately, he cut a large blood vessel. Such a serious injury has no possibility of rescue in the Warring States Period, and you will undoubtedly die.

You turned around in shock, and asked in a trembling voice uncontrollably, "Why?"

he's not...he's not...

"You bored that lord." Yan Sheng said, even if he stabbed his friend in the back, his voice was so calm that no one could hear the emotion.

"Sorry, I didn't intend to delay until now to kill you, but you are too vigilant..."

What are you wary of?

You can't hear the rest.

Yansheng pulled out|drawn out the blade, skillfully drew a circular arc, and cut off your throat before you fell into a coma.

"Rest in peace," he said, closing your eyes.
