Zhu Mie: This swordsman's surname is Uchiha

Chapter 47 Escape

The shadow of the sun slanted to the west.

Before I knew it, it was dusk again.

Under the cloud-swept sky is a town surrounded by mountains.

Rows of crumbling houses stand in the afterglow.

Like a sleeping giant.

Itachi and Tanjirou stood in front of the huge stone arch.

Long shadows cast on the deserted street.

"This should be Izumoshita Town." Tanjiro panted heavily.

all the way.

After crossing the bustling market and then to the mulberry fields, only the mountains and dense forests are left.

Completely cut off from civilization.

In that damn deep mountain forest.

The two struggled for an entire afternoon before they came out.

When we arrived at Quanxia Town.

It was dark.

Only the end of the day remains.

"It should be right." Itachi let out a long breath.

"Let's go."

Tanjiro entered the town first.

The buildings here are a bit old.

Rotten into tea brown.

As if abandoned by time.

Some even had their roofs collapsed, in disrepair, and covered with moss.

"Excuse me, is this Izumi Town?" Tanjiro asked a woman politely.

"Ah."

muted voice.

The woman stared at Tanjiro strangely, who was all smiles.

Don't wait for him to speak.

The woman frowned and hurried away.

Tanjiro nodded slightly.

A little dazed.

Itachi walked over to him.

His eyes wandered in this dignified town.

The scale is quite satisfactory, and the population should not be small.

But there are very few people on the road, as if this is a dead city.

"What now?" Tanjirou looked at Itachi.

"Let's find a place to stay first." Itachi looked at the sinking sun, and the darkness was gradually rising.

"Alright, let's settle down first, and we'll find a way to find that old friend of Rinryu-sensei tomorrow." Tanjiro nodded.

The two walked along the long street.

Go further.

The more people there are, the fewer people there are.

after that.

Completely devoid of human habitation.

The long, empty streets are littered with litter.

The wind is blowing faintly.

Look up.

The doors and windows of every house were closed.

Occasionally open doors and windows.

It also quickly closed under the restless faces.

The faces of the two Itachis were tense.

It's getting more and more confusing.

The Quanxia Town mentioned by Mr. Linlong is much weirder than imagined.

"It's getting dark! You're still standing outside! Don't die! Come here!"

A hoarse voice sounded not far away.

The two followed the sound.

It is a low house along the street.

An old man with gray hair opened the door slightly and waved at them.

"Come here quickly!"

he said again.

His eyes wandered between the darkening sky and them.

"Why don't you go there first." Although Tanjiro was a little dazed, he had nowhere to go right now, and no matter what the other party's intentions were, they had no fear.

"Okay." Itachi nodded.

The two walked away quickly.

After getting into the house sideways.

The old man frantically closed the double door.

In the sound of closing.

The old man gasped heavily.

"You two little brats, you really don't want your life!"

He pointed at the two Itachis.

Breathing is still a little short.

"Grandpa, what do you mean by that?" Tanjiro asked politely.

Itachi watched coldly.

After entering the house.

He immediately surveyed the environment around him.

Not much space.

The layout is simple.

It was fairly clean.

He seemed to live in the whole house alone.

"Outsiders?" The old man frowned at them.

"Yes, this is our first time here." Tanjiro smiled slightly.

"Hahahaha." The old man couldn't help laughing.

"It's been so many years, and it's really rare that there are still foreigners coming to Quanxia Town, a place that doesn't shit like a bird."

"We were entrusted by others," Tanjiro said.

If Zuo Rinaki hadn't asked them to come to find his old friend Fujiwara Sako recently, they probably would never have come to this isolated corner in their entire lives.

all the way.

They have inquired about Quanxia Town from many passers-by.

There are no exceptions.

They all shook their heads and didn't know.

"It's really not the right time for you to come here. If you came here half a year ago, you would have been passable. Now you come to Quanxia Town, it's really bad luck for eight lifetimes." The old man shook his head and sighed.

"Grandpa, how do you say that?" Tanjiro was engrossed.

The ferret listened attentively.

"It's a long story." The old man waved his hand.

He went to the back room and found two stools for the two Itachis.

Wait till they sit down.

He opened his mouth slowly.

"Quanxia Town has always been an isolated place. In the early years, everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, but half a year ago, a guy who claimed to be a god with seven-color pupils came here."

"His arrival changed everything here."

"First, we established the Bliss Sect of Eternal Bliss, recruiting believers in the name of gods. Then we launched a large-scale construction project, forcing nearly one-third of the town's population to dig tunnels, saying that it would improve the situation in Quanxia Town, and let us and others The towns are connected, no longer rest on their laurels, and are blocked by ignorance."

The old man talked with relish.

His voice changed.

Gradually became depressed.

"But as far as I know, some believers of the Bliss Sect have never appeared since the moment they stepped into the church, as if they had evaporated from the world."

"It has been a full half a year since the tunnel was dug. The people in the town have complained and complained. They have not seen any substantial benefits. However, many families have been ruined and many people died in the tunnel."

"In recent days, just... last week. An unrecognizable corpse was found in a place in the south of the city, as if it had been eaten by wild animals. Since then, people have disappeared one after another. curfew."

The old man had a dry mouth, took a sip of hot water, took a deep breath, and continued.

"After the sun goes down, if you are still walking outside, you may be arrested."

"Actually, even if the curfew is not enforced, no one dares to run around at night. If you look at the street, as the evening approaches, there are still few people to be seen."

"Everyone in Quanxia Town is in danger now, and they are in constant fear." The old man exhaled.

The two Itachis looked dignified.

Have the first thought.

There is a ghost in this spring town.

"You two little fellows should leave as soon as you finish your work tomorrow. This Quanxia Town is really not treated by people." The old man stood up.

"Want something to eat?" He stood up.

"Don't bother you." Tanjiro smiled.

Available in the next second.

His growling stomach gave him away.

"You're starving." The old man smiled. "Let me make you some fried rice. There are some leftovers at noon."

"Then I will trouble you." Itachi bowed and thanked.

The weasel stood still.

Eyes fly out.

Through the gap in the door, you can see the last twilight of the setting sun.

The darkness gradually encroached on the town like a behemoth.

Secluded and cramped alleyways.

Flickering lights.

The blood-stained middle-aged man was sticking to the yellowed and peeling wall, his heart beating uncontrollably.

He struggled to hold his breath.

Bursts of sharp pain surged like sea tides.

clap clap-

Subtle footsteps.

It fell into the man's mouth, but it was like the whisper of death.

His pupils trembled uncontrollably.

Fear creeps up in my heart.

Suddenly.

The wind blows.

A pale face pierced into view.

Grinning.

Carved with beast-like viciousness.

"Leave me alone"

The man knelt down against the wall.

The demonic figure stared at all this indifferently.

In flickering lights.

His jaw was split in an unbelievable degree.

then.

There was a burst of heart-piercing wailing.

Swallow men alive.

Blood splattered on the yellowed walls.

meandering.

at the same time.

Standing in the dark town.

The boy in white feathers with blood on his forehead was running away desperately.

There was silence all around.

No one could be seen.

He breathed heavily.

Use all the strength in your life.

--escape!
— must escape! !
