[comprehensive] review face into a mystery

The light from the fire in the forge illuminated the calm masked face of the Inquisitor, who stood there, quietly waiting for the last bit of time to pass.

After receiving a Taidao and a short sword from the swordsmith, the God Judge covered his mouth with his hand and coughed a few times. After thanking the little swordsmith, he poured spiritual energy into the two newly completed swords. .

"General——! We are back from the expedition!" Hou's voice was heard from the gate all the way to here, and the judge stopped his words when he heard it, and smiled slightly at the two Fusangshen in front of him. "Let's meet them together."

The newly-appeared Fusangshen didn't have any objections, and with expectant smiles on their faces, they left the forging room with the God Judge.

As the leader of the team, Xiao Ye walked in the front, and when she saw the interrogator walking towards them, she immediately stood on tiptoe and handed her the two short knives in her hand. "The result of this time."

The judge took the two short knives in one hand, and at the same time leaned over to look at Xiao Ye. "It's your first expedition, are you injured?"

Xiao Ye lowered her head and pulled her clothes for a closer look, then raised her head and said seriously. "No injuries, no clothes torn."

"That's good." The judge stretched out his hand to retie the red hair rope that bound Xiao Ye's hair, and then straightened up.

"General—" "My lord—" "Master—" There were three short knives of Awataguchi in the team this time, and the judge watched them run over, especially Hakata, who ran at the front, did not bend as usual Get down and make a welcoming gesture.Just when Bodo felt that something was wrong and wanted to stop the body that was running too fast, he saw the examiner who was close at hand briskly shifted his position.

It's over, it's over, it's going to fall to the ground like this—!

Just as he was thinking this way, he threw himself into another embrace.

Huh?

"Don't run so fast, Bodo." A familiar gentle voice sounded above his head, Bodo raised his head in disbelief, and what he saw was a young man with water-blue hair and honey-gold pupils, followed by two older brothers shouting The sound also told him that this was indeed reality.

"Phase [-]--!!!"

"Brother Yiqi, I'll go and inform the other brothers first." Hirano, who was forged together with Yiqi Yizhen, thought about this steadily, and at the same time, the judge asked Hasebe, who was familiar with Honmaru's affairs, to take Hirano to find him. his brothers.

When I heard that Ichishin had also come to Honmaru, all Awataguchi's knives ran to the courtyard one after another, and they were pleasantly surprised to find that besides the eldest brother, the remaining two brothers, Maeda Toshiro and Akita Toshiro, had just arrived. The person who is judged is endowed with a human body.

The whole family of Awataguchi gathered together, it looked really lively, even Yaoken and Gu Gu, who had always been calm and self-sufficient, showed quite happy smiles, and Ruran, who was better at acting like a baby, even hugged the elder brother's arm , talking and laughing non-stop, making them burst into loud laughter from time to time.The other knives didn't intend to disturb their reunion, they had already left, only the god judge stood on the other side far away, looking at them alone, smiling lightly.

The Awataguchi knives were all standing in the sun, but she was standing in the shadows, bustling on the one hand and deserted on the other, as if two worlds that were extremely close but separated by boundaries.

This is exactly what Akashi saw as he walked down the corridor with a large bag of crackers in his arms.

He didn't intend to get involved, but when he saw the interrogator slightly hunched over and coughed softly, he scratched his hair and walked slowly to her side.

"You don't seem to be feeling well? Are you okay?" Because he didn't want to be noticed by the person over there, Akashi leaned closer and asked her in a low voice.

"...Although I want to say it's nothing, but I really can't hide it from you." The judge didn't turn his face away, and seemed to be still looking in the direction of Awataguchi, with a relaxed and indifferent tone.

"Oh, it's good that you know that." Akashi said lazily. "The complexion is much worse than usual, and you can tell it at a glance."

The judge couldn't help covering his lips and chuckling a few times. "Obviously, he usually has a pale face like that of a dead person. Where did you see it?"

"...Who would normally describe himself like that?" Akashi's voice sounded extremely helpless. "I'm too lazy to explain to you...take it as intuition, intuition."

"Hmm." The interrogator replied, without any follow-up.

Knowing that she didn't intend to explain the cause and effect to him, Akashi didn't ask further, because he knew that what she didn't want to say would never be able to pry anything out, so he didn't bother to waste his time.

"Okay, okay, do you want me to help you go back now?" Akashi, who thought that all he could do was try his best to save her some effort, stretched out his hand slowly. "Weak master?"

"En." The judge didn't have any comments on the title behind Akashi, but simply agreed. "Greatful."

"If you're really grateful, don't do that kind of thing."

"If you can't do it, that's my mission."

"Yes...so I just said it casually, please help me find some people to share the share."

"Ah... soon..."

Akashi, who made the judge lean on him with most of his body, helped her go away slowly, and the conversation that only the two of them could hear quickly dissipated in the air.

"——————Are you right, Lord—huh?" Luan, who wanted to call the god judge to respond, looked at the place where the god judge was standing before, and there was no one there.

"Master, my lord has already left...?" Wuhu Tui also looked over there, with a slightly disappointed expression.

"Could it be that we've been talking to Brother Yiqi and neglected the main hall?" When Cattail said this, he was lightly tapped on the head by the bone ghoul.

"Don't use strange words, brother." Although he said that, there was a little uneasiness on Gu Gu's face.

"...It's not like the usual habit of a general..." Yao Yan, who knew the God-inspector, also showed a little puzzled look.

The Awataguchi brothers, who were still in high spirits just now, suddenly sank down, and after a while, they really felt their care for the judge from the bottom of their hearts.

"Don't worry." He comforted his brothers gently. "Mr. Akashi came over just now and seemed to have said something to the main hall. There should be something, so they left together."

"The main hall is a gentle person, and will not be angry because of such things."

Obviously this is the first time I have seen the God-inspector, but Yizheng has already fully established an initial impression of the God-inspector from the descriptions of his younger brothers, and he can also learn from the short conversation with her before. Feel some of it.

That's why he can say that with confidence.

……only.

Yi Qi lowered his eyes slightly.

I saw the main hall coughing before... Did he catch a cold or something else?

"My lord, it's me, the five tigers are retreating, may I come in?" The dagger Fu Sangshen, who has a slender childish appearance, specially entrusted his brother to take care of the five little tigers who usually stay with him this time, holding tightly in his hands. Looking at the flowers given to him by the God-inspector before, he stood outside the door of the God-inspector and waited nervously.

"Come in." The voice of the God-inspector pierced through the thin door, and Wu Hutui opened the door gently after getting the answer, and what he saw was the God-inspector who was sitting cross-legged on the worship mat with a book in his hand .

Walking to the opposite side of her and sitting down consciously, Wu Hutui could still see a little writing on the book—all twisted and incomprehensible writing, as if it looked like a scripture.

"What can I do for you?" Putting the book aside, the interrogator asked Wu Hutui's purpose for this trip.

"Yes...it's this." Showing the flower in the palm of his hand to the examiner, Wu Hutui spoke slowly, thinking about the words he had organized before. "Xiao Ye told us that this is Euphyllum cereus, a very, very precious flower." In fact, Xiao Ye's original words went deeper.

The Udumbara flower is a flower in the sky, and there is no such thing in the world.

But such flowers, as if they didn't know their value at all, were given to them at will by the god judges.

"Perhaps for other people, this is indeed very precious." The tone of the judge didn't sound like he cared much. "That's not the case for me, though."

"It can help you a little bit, even if it just relieves the nightmare, it's enough for me to give it away."

Knowing that the god judge really doesn't care about the rarity of this flower, and it's not easy for Wuhu Tui to bring up this topic, he turned to another question that is of concern.

"My lord, where is this flower planted? We don't seem to have seen it before." Not only did we not see the planted flower, every time the God-inspector gave them the flower, it seemed to be in his hand suddenly The appearance is ordinary, and she has no idea where she usually puts the flowers.

"This ah..." the interrogator dragged out her voice, and when Wu Hutui's eyes sparkled with curiosity and anticipation, she avoided the question.

"You will know in the future." She patted Wu Hutui's head lightly, and for some reason, there seemed to be a flash of cunning in her always compassionate smile.

"Hmm... um..." Wu Hutui, who didn't want to force himself, could only suppress his curiosity first, and obediently didn't ask any more questions. However, his slightly disappointed mood was quickly caught by "My Lord's gentle touch." My head" was washed away.

Wu Hutui, who lowered his head and smiled shyly, didn't notice because of this, the thin lips of the God Judge moved again, forming a silent sentence.

Although it's not what I expected.

After that, Wuhutui sat there again and talked about many daily things with the judge, such as catfish playing with horse manure when he was in Ma Dang, and was talked about by Gu Gu expressionlessly for a long time, such as Bodo has been talking in his sleep recently about how to earn a small sentence. For example, Luan seems to be thinking about what new hairstyle he wants to show the judge... Of course, there are also things about himself, about the little tiger, and getting along with his brothers. Something stronger than before.

They were all very small and loose incidents. At first, Wu Hutui didn't expect that he would talk so much, but he couldn't help talking endlessly when he saw the smile of the god judge and whether it was an illusion or she occasionally showed a little yearning. , Realized that the reason for talking for a long time was that the cup of boiling tea in front of him had become cold.

"Yes, yes, my lord, I'm learning from Brother Hou how to make Strawberry Daifu." Thinking of another thing, Wu Hutui couldn't wait to talk to the judge. "When the time comes, can I give it to my lord?"

On the contrary, he still remembered the strawberry Daifuku that she had brought when she sat in meditation before. He probably had such thoughts since then, and he didn't tell her until now that he was sure enough.

"Of course, I look forward to it."

Such a simple promise brought him a happy smile.

After leaving the room of the judge of the gods, Wuhu Tui happened to see his elder brother Yiqi Yizhen walking in the opposite direction after walking a corner.

"Brother Yiqi?" Seeing him, Yiqi was slightly taken aback, and then showed a gentle smile.

"Retreat? Why are you here?"

"I, I just came out from my lord, and now I'm going back to my room..."

"Ah, if that's the case, can you lead me to the room in the main hall? I'm not very familiar with this place..." As an elder brother, he was a little embarrassed to ask his younger brother for help.

Of course, the Five Tigers who were able to help his elder brother were very happy. He simply agreed, and returned to the room of the god judge with the first issue.

"My lord, I brought Brother Yiqi to find you!" Even though he had just come out of this room, the rules that should be followed still had to be observed, so Wuhu Tui didn't open the door directly to enter, but went outside to sign With the consent of the judge.

However, there was no response from the judge in the room.

Wu Hutui blinked in confusion, reached out and gently knocked on the door.

"My lord?"

There was still no sound coming from inside, and it was as quiet as if there was indeed no one in there.

"Main hall, I'm a one-stage vibe." The first stage also spoke, and judging from the reaction of the five tigers, the God-inspector should indeed be inside, and they can also confirm that the God-inspector didn't go out just now.

Just when one big and one small were uneasy, the door was opened.

The inquisitor, smiling as always, bent down and patted Wu Hutui's head, said nothing, nodded to the first issue, and walked back into the room by himself.

Guessing that she probably allowed herself to go in, she bid farewell to the Five Tigers. Before leaving, the young boy glanced at his brother worriedly. "Brother Qiqi, my lord should have been concentrating on reading just now, so I didn't answer...that..."

"I'm not such a stingy person, retreat." Phase [-] patted Wuhu Tui on the head amusedly. "Okay, you go back first, I have something to say to the main hall."

Five Tigers retreated and left with peace of mind.

Looking into the room, the interrogator was already sitting on the side of the young couple. Seeing his gaze, the interrogator pointed to the seat opposite her.

Sit down according to her instructions, and when Yi Qi was about to say something, the judge suddenly made a "wait a moment" gesture. Although he was a little surprised, he still followed Yi Qi. He took out a white veil, covered his lips and began to cough in a low voice.

She seemed to be trying to keep her voice down, but it was still quite noticeable in the quiet room.

The main hall... It really must have been infected with the wind and cold.

The thoughtful Yiqi stood up, walked behind the judge and gently patted her on the back, hoping that this action would relieve some of her coughing discomfort.

"Cough...cough cough cough..." The angle of view was higher than before, and I inadvertently saw the inside of the handkerchief held by the judge, and then I couldn't turn my eyes away, and was firmly frozen in the above.

What was inside was a black-red viscous liquid.

It seems that after he saw it, a large amount of black-red liquid was coughed up by the inquisitor, and the originally white and clean handkerchief was quickly polluted, and the whole piece was turned black and red, and it fell on the brown handkerchief. On a small wooden table.

He froze there, not knowing whether to continue the movements of his hands, and his next reaction was to hurry out and call for help.

But as soon as he stood up, the interrogator's hand grabbed his sleeve forcefully. Although she was still covering her mouth and coughing up blood, it was very obvious that she would not let him go out.

The first phase had no choice but to stand there helplessly.

The long cough seemed to have finally come to an end. The judge threw a shikigami to deal with the black and red handkerchief and the small table with a lot of blood, and she herself signaled Yiqi to sit down.

"The main hall... you just now..." Yiqi said hesitantly, the way he looked just now was very bad no matter how he thought about it, he didn't understand why the god judge didn't let him find other people to help.

"No problem."

But she replied calmly, if she hadn't witnessed the scene just now, probably everyone would have been fooled by her like this.

"But!" "Compared to that..."

A period of anxious words was interrupted by the judge, and then his hand was held by the judge. The cold touch and unexpected movements made Fu Sangshen stop suddenly.

"Please keep it secret for me."

she said so.

"...Is this your order?"

"Do not."

"This is my request. I beg you, keep it secret for me."
