Projecting the heavens from One Piece World

Chapter 131 The Desolate Nameless Town

Without too much nostalgia, Roach chose to bid farewell to them, just like Rinaki Sakino said, as long as they are alive, these new members of the Demon Slayer Squad will have a chance to meet again soon.

Follow the messenger all the way to the northeast. Although Roach himself is not in a hurry, he still runs faster and faster. After all, human life is at stake. If you can spend less time on the road, spend less time on the road.

After passing through the mountains and forests for most of the day, he came to a section of the road with more people.

Seeing that Roach had found the main road, his black eagle messenger uttered a bird song, and then flew away without looking back.

"Is it so personal?" Roach complained and straightened his muddy boots.

At this time, some scattered refugees can already be found, most of them are old people with yellow and emaciated faces.

Seeing Roach's naked appearance, they didn't bother to ask him for food, but continued walking along the road.

Before that, Luo Qi walked the mountain road to Vine Attack Mountain, and he didn't notice how serious the famine is now.

Fortunately among the misfortunes, those who fled were all old people, and it can be seen that young and strong young people will not leave their homes.

He walked forward for a while, and saw that there was a tea shed on the side of the road where he could take a short rest, so he went up.

The tea shed is very simple, made of patchwork cowhide leather, it can provide shelter from the wind and rain, but it is obviously difficult to live in, but it is enough to entertain passing travelers.

Except for Roach, there were no other guests inside, and it seemed extremely deserted, but he didn't mainly want to rest his feet, but after seeing it, he wanted to inquire about the situation in the surrounding towns.

The owner of the tea shed is a middle-aged couple. After all, they have traveled all over the world for so many years. When they saw Luo Qi's attire, they made a lot of guesses.

The middle-aged man looked like an honest and responsible person. He poured a pot of hot tea for Roach with some fear, and then tiptoed away, accidentally pouring the tea on the table.

"Mizuno, what are you doing, don't make your lord unhappy." The middle-aged woman immediately wiped off the water stains on the table with a rag, then poked him with her elbow and complained softly.

Mizuno didn't dare to say anything more, he lowered his head and picked up other sundries on the table.

"What's the name of the proprietress?" Luo Qi took a sip of the tea, the taste was mediocre, and the tea didn't look like new tea, so he lost interest after tasting it.

"Your Excellency, just call me Nanako. It's nothing more than a meal for me. It's not a business." Nanako said with a little panic, and quickly filled Roach's tea again.

"Why do you call me an adult?"

"You're a ghost hunter, right? It's because our husband and wife are more experienced, and ordinary people can't recognize it." Caizi explained in a low voice, as if she was afraid of angering Roach.

"Nothing, just passing by, don't think too much." Roach waved his hand and continued.

"Is there a town near here?"

Nanako and Mizuno looked at each other and swallowed together.

"My lord, it will take half a day to walk in that direction." Mizuno pointed to the outside of the tea shed, and at the same time, Nanako had already started packing her things.

Luo Qi shook his head, dropped some coins and got up to leave. Generally speaking, the clothes of the Ghost Slayer Swordsman were too conspicuous.

For ordinary civilians, seeing them is probably like seeing crows hovering over dead bodies.

These small people have their own way of survival. Where there are ghost hunters, evil spirits will naturally appear, especially if Luo Qi went so purposefully, it naturally shows that there are ghosts in the nearby towns.

He didn't need to walk for half a day. With his foot strength, he could already see a city wall made of soil embryos in the distance in just half an hour, but it was only more than two meters away.

At this time, the sky was getting late, and the setting sun shone a fiery red light on the ground. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, darkness also began to grow.

There were two thin warriors standing at the gate of the city. There were not many people coming and going, but they seemed to be orderly, but they were all hardworking people running around for their lives.

After seeing Roach, the warriors walked straight up.

After looking around, the older samurai whispered, "Are you from the Ghost Slayer Squad?"

"Well, you are the one who informed that there are ghosts here?"

The old warrior's face suddenly turned down, looking very ugly: "Speak softly, our government does not allow private contact with the Ghost Killing Squad."

Luo Qi raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised: "What's the matter, is there any taboo in it?"

"Follow him, and I will explain the details to you." The old warrior pointed to his companion and said, and then he gave some worried instructions.

"Ogawa Yuki, you have to be careful, don't bring trouble here, tell me if you have anything to do."

"Okay." Xiaochuan Xing immediately agreed, and led Roach into this unnamed small city.

As soon as he entered the town, he could smell a foul smell, as if rotten items were piled up together, and the choking smell made Roach cough uncontrollably.

Xiaochuan Xing explained in a low voice: "Don't mind, there has been a lack of water here recently, and there is more or less a smell."

"Didn't it just rain?" Roach asked a little strangely.

"It's been a few months, that's the only one." Xiao Chuanxing said helplessly: "But fortunately, it rained, otherwise more people would have died. Now the famine is over."

While chatting with him, Roach looked around. It seemed that because the famine had passed, the whole town seemed more alive.

According to the mission, there must be a ghost here, but the atmosphere around Roach does not look like a natural or man-made disaster. There are peddlers and passers-by laughing and cursing everywhere, but the children on the street have never See you.

These civilians didn't react too much when they saw Roach, presumably because they couldn't recognize the identity he represented, but when they saw Xiao Chuanxing, they moved out of the way with some trepidation.

"Follow me." After Xiao Chuanxing finished speaking in a low voice, he walked towards a small one-story house, and Roach had to follow him into it.

The yard has not been repaired for a long time, and there are spider webs everywhere. If it is placed in a more prosperous city, it must be so dilapidated and uninhabited, but it can be considered clean in this small town.

"Let's talk about it first." Ogawa Yuki opened the door and said.

"What's the matter, let's talk outside."

Roach shook his head, the smell in the room was even worse, because the clothes and sheets hadn't been washed for a long time, and some food spoiled due to the heat, the sour smell was really unacceptable.

Xiaochuan Xing did not force him, turned around and moved two stools from the room.
