365 days of playing the knife

Time seemed to pass quickly, but in fact, it was only another year or two. The number of nine pillars in Gemini's impression (although the actual number seems to have never reached nine), has changed a batch without knowing it.

But having said that, in fact, Gemini didn't really recognize anyone.After all, the members of the Ghost Killing Squad may have smiled and greeted each other yesterday, but the next day they would never be able to see each other again.Even if it is Zhu, it is just a little more likely to survive.

When Butterfly Shinobi was 13 years old, she had already developed a powerful poison, and the forged sword was forged by a swordsmith, which was similar to a rapier and had a barb on the tip of the blade. It belonged to her exclusively. A very specific design for storing toxins and deploying toxins on demand.

After a year of fighting against ghosts and life and death again and again, he developed a new incomplete breathing method-the breath of insects.

I have to say that Butterfly Ninja is very powerful, and the belief in killing ghosts is also very strong.I used all my talent for medicine in this area, and I would change the type of toxin as needed every time I dealt with a ghost.Knowing that he couldn't cut off the neck of the ghost, he specially trained the stabbing technique. The combination of high-speed stabbing skills and poison made up for the lack of wrist strength.

When Die Die Ren took the task alone to kill ghosts for the first time, Cattail Bone Ghouyou secretly followed behind. After seeing the little girl struggling to successfully kill ghosts, both twins had a subtle feeling in their hearts—the daughter has grown up. psychology.

Then in order not to hurt Xiao Ren's self-esteem, he hurried back to Butterfly House before her.Send out the prepared gift, and congratulate the other party for truly becoming a Gui-level member of the Ghost Killing Squad.

And now it only took one year, Butterfly Ninja has successfully broken through "Ren", "Xin", "Geng", "Ji", and "E" to become a member of D-level.

"Xiao Ren is really powerful. According to this speed, he will probably become a 'pillar' soon, right?" Cattail put his hands behind his head, his tone relaxed.

Gu Gu nodded: "Poison is very helpful to her."

Cattail: "Because Shinobi's appearance is too deceiving, and the Sun Wheel Saber can't cut off their necks at a glance, so those ghosts were too underestimating the enemy at first, and Shinobu is going fast."

Gu Gu: "Even if she doesn't underestimate the enemy, her strength is enough."

"Brother, you really like Xiao Ren very much!" Hearing this, Cattail laughed naturally, "Then when we go back to Butterfly House, let's bring some gifts for Xiao Ren—"

Cattail muttered something, then seemed to think of something, and his expression became a little troubled again, "Speaking of gifts, I don't know what that kid Kanao will like."

Hearing what Catfish said, Gu Gu also began to think.

Chanahu's full name is Lihualuo Chanahu, and she is a special child picked up by the Butterfly sisters.

Because of the experience, Kanai has closed her emotions, what she likes and what she hates is an unknown.And she will only act according to the order, even if her hungry stomach growls, she will just kneel and sit there motionless until no one gives the order to "eat".

"Forget it, let's see when the time comes, where are we now? Brother." Cattail closed his eyes resignedly, and then decisively changed the subject.

This time they went out with a new task - they said it was a task, but it was not necessary to complete it.

Regarding this task, it probably starts from the very beginning.

When the twins first came to this world, the white-haired girl I saw in the final selection should not be called a girl in fact. She is the wife of Yashiki Yoya, the head of the Demon Slayer Squad, named Amane, and she needs to be called The existence honored as Madam.

After a "Pillar" meeting, Mrs. Tianyin asked Kanao about something alone, so after the twins returned to the Butterfly House, Kanae told the twins about Mrs. Tianyin's request.

In fact, it is not a difficult thing, but on a mountain, there lived the descendants of two swordsmen who used to use the original breath, and they were twins, just like the squid tailbone.

In order to kill Miejuegui, Mrs. Tianyin visited that family many times, but every time she was kicked out by the elder brother.

Mrs. Tianyin was very worried about what would happen to the two children who had never learned any sword skills and were completely helpless living alone on the mountain.

But the elder brother of the twins was already very tired of the existence of the ghost killing team and Mrs. Tianyin, and was completely unwilling to bring his younger brother to get involved in killing ghosts.He even directly rejected Mrs. Tianyin's attempt to protect her.

I don't know if I should say that I am indeed a descendant of the original breath user. When my brother usually goes out, he easily finds the members of the Ghost Killing Squad hiding in the dark. The final result can be imagined.

Even if it's the so-called protection, Mrs. Tianyin can't do anything if the person concerned is not willing.So now, there are only those brothers on that mountain.

Mrs. Tianyin's request is very simple. I hope that the catfish coccyx who are both twins can soften the attitude of the offspring of the swordsmen. Even if they don't join the ghost killing team, there is no problem at all. ability. ——As a descendant of the original breath, it is a very dangerous thing no matter what, and there is a high possibility of encountering ghosts.

And because Niaowei and Bone Gu are not in Butterfly House most of the time—the connection with Butterfly Ninja was broken when the other party could be alone.So even if Mrs. Tianyin wanted to ask the Wakizawa twins face to face, it could be said that it was completely impossible.

In the end, I can only use Kanae's mouth to tell them when the twins return to the Butterfly House.

And this isn't a mission, it's just a request, and Cattailbone can refuse it at will.

"There are still two days' journey." Hearing Cattail's question, Gu Gu replied.

Gu Gu really knew his brother too well. Even if he told the current location accurately, the cattail was probably at a loss, and he didn't know how long it was until the terminal.So it's okay to just talk about time.

"That's pretty fast." Cattail responded, and before being silent for half a minute, he continued the topic above, "I still think the attitude of the Ghost Slayer Squad towards us is strange, brother." He repeated, "Super weird."

"Whether it's the crow rejected by us, or the usual tasks, the Ghost Slayer Squad doesn't seem to care about our actions at all."

"Like this time, it's clearly an important matter, but Mrs. Tianyin gives me the feeling that she pays more attention to our thoughts."

"'It's just a request, it's okay to refuse, please don't put too much pressure on me.' That's what Kanae-san said—but it's really, really weird."

As if he didn't expect to get the answer, Cattail talked to himself, followed by his brother's side, and was distracted by a new idea unconsciously.

"Brother, what kind of personality do you think the pair of twins will have! I remember...it seems to be Shitou?"

"According to Mrs. Tianyin, that elder brother is probably fierce, right? I feel like he is a very conspicuous child with a very distinctive personality. However, my younger brother has not been mentioned much, and he seems to be quite well-behaved."

"Hey, so to speak, doesn't it feel a bit like us, that contrasting feeling——"

Gu Gu: "Yes. But it is said that they look exactly the same, and it is difficult to tell them apart at a glance."

Catfish tail turned its head, "Don't we also look exactly the same!"

Gu Gu explained, "It's easy for us to tell the difference."

"Well, wait for me to bring a wig one day—I don't believe it's so easy to separate us." Cattail smiled and then asked, "Speaking of which, is there a wig shop in this era."

Gu Gu: "Probably not yet."

Cattail: "That's a pity! But maybe I can make it myself... What materials should I use..."

Cattail was always full of whimsy, and neither was ever bored when the two were together.The topics ranged from presents to the Ghost Slayer Team to wigs. If it wasn't for the fact that Gu Gu was already used to his brother's jumping thinking, he might not be able to keep up for a while.

The two stopped and walked, completely following the biological clock that human beings should have.When they arrived at a small town, Gemini naturally planned to stop and rest for the night.The small town is a Japanese-style crowded building. You can’t see the sky when you walk under the eaves. Only when you go to the avenue can you see the whole picture of the row upon row of houses.

But before reaching the avenue, with Fu Sangshen's excellent five senses, Niaowei and Gu Gu immediately sensed the noise in the distance.The sound from that position was too mixed and chaotic, the voices of countless people mixed together, footsteps, shouts, the sound of something collapsing, like the crackling of fireworks... Cattail subconsciously paused its steps, It's just that with countless obstacles, he couldn't be sure what happened for a while.

Maybe there was an accident at the banquet, or there was a ghost, whatever it was, the investigation necessary to come to the new environment prompted the two to speed up their pace, even though the sky was getting dark, Wakizashi's investigation could clearly see what happened... …

The twins froze.

【Flame, burned everything in me——】

Gu Biao's murmurs echoed in the minds of the two of them.

The black smoke from the fire was blocked by the night, and the voices of passers-by blurred his hearing. The lively and bright nights of this era made him ignore the details.Only now, from a distance, did Cattail really realize what was going on.

Cattail seemed to see the thick black smoke upwards, blowing towards his face with a heat that could scorch the heart and lungs, sparks spread upward from the fabric, and covered the whole body along the feather weaving.He heard the sound of molten iron falling on the wooden floor, and the silent despair of the swords.

—that was the scene of their nightmares.

This is the fear that belongs to all the swords burned in Osaka Castle.Can't escape.

However, in fact, the fire did not spread, and there was a distance between them and the disaster point, and the flames could not even burn them at all.

And they're not cold swords that were once forced to take it all, unable to make decisions for themselves.They now have bodies and can do everything they couldn't do before.

The nightmare in memory cannot hurt them again.

It's just easy to say, even Cattail, who has always been optimistic, can't react immediately when encountering such a thing.But Maowei knew that he was not alone now, he always knew that the bone at this moment would only be more painful than him.

But they don't need to get involved with this little fire—it's just a little fire that isn't even on the historical record, and maybe kills two or three people, but has nothing to do with their mission.

You just need to pass by indifferently, bury your nightmares and fears in your heart, don't listen, don't look...

"Brother, brother, let's go in another direction." Cattail twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he had finally found his own voice.He held his brother's hand stiffly, wanting to take himself and his brother away from this town.

Don't listen, don't look, the nightmare will always end when the dawn breaks.

But he stopped.

The black-haired Wakizashi's over-sensitive five senses clearly allowed him to catch a burst of crying.

The body moves faster than the mind.

Everything happened too fast, and by the time the black-haired Wakizawa realized it, he had already protected a little girl who was barely sobbing, and a burning beam fell down where they were a few seconds ago.

Predictably, without the cattail, the little girl would have been one of too many unrecorded deaths throughout history.

...they could have left it alone.Bone opened his mouth, he didn't want his brother to face everything alone, he wanted to stand by his brother, even if it was to stop his actions, or to help, as long as he didn't let his brother Face it all alone.

But—he couldn't even grasp the loose hand of the cattail at all.He stopped in place, unable to take a step.

"Yeah, don't be afraid anymore, it's okay, it's okay, big brother is here." Cattail didn't know what he was talking about and what he did, he couldn't see or hear anything clearly, as if Everything in the senses was covered with a white mist.Not only that, but also accompanied by quite severe tinnitus and dizziness.

He is like a traveler in the desert with countless bags on his back. He has lost all the moisture he can absorb. The bags on his body oppress his actions, and he wants to keep him here forever.

The weight in his arms disappeared at some point, and there seemed to be some woman's voice of gratitude in his ears.Relying on instinct, Nanwei subconsciously showed a smile that was almost indistinguishable from usual.

"Don't get lost with your mother next time." He seemed to be answering like this.

Cattail didn't know what was supporting him, but at the moment, his blank brain and exhausted body finally gave him an order.

—Leave no brother alone where he is.

Yes, the skeleton is still there.

The chaotic thoughts were suddenly torn open, and the direction pointed directly at the location of his brother.Seeing that the bones were intact and standing in place, Maowei finally felt relieved, heaved a sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground as if exhausted.

Things happened too fast, and it seemed that it was over before they could react.Gu Gu looked at the twin brothers who had been with him all this time, those emotions that even he didn't understand were covered up by the night.

After a long silence, Gu Gu finally spoke, "Let's go."

However, Cattail, who has always been very active, did not stand up immediately.The black-haired Wakizashi raised his head in the silence, with a deliberately maintained smile on his face, and replied lightly, "Brother——my legs are weak. Next, will you carry me on your back?"

Gu Gu: "Okay."

"Hahaha I'm just kidding, brother, you don't have to be too—eh? Wait," Cattail tried to brace himself, and blinked blankly, "Brother, did you just agree?"

The silver-white haired Wakizashi, who has always followed the saying is worse than doing, did not speak, and directly pulled up the cattail that was sitting on the spot. With just a dazzling movement, the posture of the two of them completely changed.

Being forced to lie on his brother's not-so-broad back, Cattail was rarely in a daze.He moved his fingers tentatively, and the cold hands that had been unconscious since just now seemed to have finally warmed up a bit, obviously being a sword - he had long been used to the cold.Cattail thought so.

"...It feels so embarrassing." The black-haired wakizawa has never rejected his brother, and it is still the same now.He buried his face in Gu Gu's neck, his bangs completely covered his face, looking a little embarrassed.

But only Gu Gu knew how hard Cattail put his arms around his shoulders from behind.The silver-haired boy stared ahead, not knowing what he was thinking. He turned his back on his most intimate existence in this world, and responded softly, "Yes."
