Projecting the heavens from One Piece World

Chapter 132
The two sat by the edge of the well, but it seemed that it had been abandoned for a long time, with broken stones falling into it, and there was not even a sound of water.

After sorting out his thoughts, Ogawa Yuki began to reveal some secret things.

"Are you a newly promoted ghost swordsman?"

Luo Qi glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, I have killed quite a few ghosts alone. As long as this ghost shows up, it will only die."

Ogawa Yuki breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"But why is your government not allowing you to contact the Ghost Killing Squad?"

Xiao Chuanxing looked at the earthen walls around the courtyard with some guilt and said in a low voice: "That's what the above stipulates. The government and the Ghost Killing Squad have always been at odds. And there is a precedent for being put on hold."

Luo Qi didn't ask these questions, and even if he asked, a low-level official would not be able to know. He asked Ogawa Yuki about the situation of this ghost.

"It probably started a few months ago. It started with a little girl named Haruko Yuntian..."

Haruko Yuntian was a poor child. Her father, who supported her family, passed away in a serious illness. She and her bedridden mother depended on each other, and they survived to this day only relying on the help of neighbors.

I thought that even though life was a bit tougher, it wouldn’t make me unable to survive, but this year’s harvest costs were not good due to the drought and famine, and the neighbors around me were almost depleted of their own food, so it was naturally impossible to rescue Yuntian Qingzi’s mother and daughter. .

Haruko Yuntian didn't sit still, but chose to go to the mountain to chop firewood and sell money. The mother and daughter didn't eat much, but they barely survived.

After a while, the firewood merchant didn't see Haruko Yuntian for several days. He had sympathy for the mother and daughter, so he took the initiative to find her.

Xiaochuanxing said that his face changed drastically, and he seemed to be holding back his words and said: "The place where they live is remote, and when the person opened the door, he was scared out of his wits, and there were only some broken bones left inside. .”

Luo Qi narrowed his eyes, and he still had some doubts about the formation of ghosts. He once asked Zuo Rinaki once whether ghosts were formed after death, and the answer he got was:
"Ghosts are transformed by people, but the formation has nothing to do with people themselves. If you want to know, then go to the headquarters of the Ghost Killing Squad, and the people there will tell you."

After thinking for a while, Luo Qi asked, "So that little girl turned into a ghost?"

"No." Xiao Chuanxing shook his head like a rattle: "Her mother became a ghost, and Haruko Yuntian was eaten."

At first, I thought it was an ordinary homicide case. People are really hungry but they will eat anything. Of course, the bones on the ground may also be eaten by wild dogs.

In short, the few samurai who were in charge of maintaining the security of the town didn't pay much attention to it, but within a few days, there was a second case in this town, and the person who died was still a girl, about the same age as Haruko Yuntian. The corpse was eaten cleaner this time.

After that, the frequency of dead people became faster and faster, and the interval between them became shorter and shorter, from five or six days to one or two days.

"Since it happened, how many people have died?" Roach's face changed slightly, and he only felt that things were getting tricky, so he asked immediately.

"It is confirmed that there are a total of 85 people, and those refugees cannot be counted." Ogawa Yuki squeezed this sentence through his teeth.

This number startled Roach. He frowned and asked, "Even if it's one person for one night, it will take several months. Why are you only contacting the Ghost Slayer Squad now?"

You must know that ghosts can rely on cannibalism to increase their own power. A ghost that eats a few people is not at the same level as a ghost that eats dozens of people. If it is a ghost with supernatural powers, the gap will be even greater.

Of course, there is no upper limit for the promotion of ghosts. Otherwise, the more they eat, the more humans will be eaten soon. There is also a certain digestion time, and it is impossible to eat many people at once. An inexplicable feeling of fullness.

But it is said that there is a kind of person in this world who is born with thin blood. For ghosts, eating one person is worth 100 people.

The number of thin blood is very small, and it has a fatal attraction to ghosts. Once found, it will be eaten by the ghosts that are aware of it.

The expression on Ogawa Yuki's face froze, and he said with a wry smile: "After all, this is a year of natural disasters and man-made disasters. Every family has no food leftovers. In addition, all of them died at the beginning were little girls, so..."

Roach shook his head and sighed, but did not condemn anything. Ordinary people in this world just want to survive.

"now what?"

"It has begun to pay less attention to so many conditions. Now one or two people die in the town every day, regardless of gender, although most of them are younger."

"Then how did this ghost kill people?"

"Not sure, the doors of every house are closed at night, but..."

"But what?" Roach asked, grabbing his wrist.

Xiaochuan yelled in pain. After Luo Qi let go of his hand, he continued: "Hiss... But every time something happens, you can hear the dog barking. In this famine year, where is the whole town going?" The dogs, I am afraid that even the mice have been eaten up."

Roach glanced at the sunset on the horizon and said lightly: "Understood, let me meet it tonight."

"Then it's all up to you."

Ogawa Yuki pulled out the Taidao, the blade was full of gaps, but it can be seen that its owner still maintains it frequently.

"Our government is really helpless in the face of the existence of these ghosts, and only you ghost-killing swordsmen have this kind of ability."

Regarding the power of the government, Luo Qi also heard Rinakizuo mention it by chance, and can only say that there was a period of glory, and even overwhelmed the ghost killing team.

However, because of some things, the two forces clashed, and it turned out that even now, the strength structure of the ghost killing team has not fluctuated much, and the government has become a decoration.

Seeing that it was getting late, Luo Qi stopped chatting and left the yard, planning to take this time to rest for a while. After all, tonight must be prepared to prevent ghosts from hurting people.

He randomly found a house that seemed to be the tallest in the town, and lay down on the eaves, took out some dry food from his arms, and started eating with water.

Suddenly there was a bird song, and the black eagle flew over from nowhere, landed beside Luo Qi, and cheekily ate the dry food in his hand.

"You bastard, it's quite quick to take advantage, so I'll call you uncle from now on."

The black eagle grabbed the dry food with its talons, and then spread its wings and flew into the distance.

"Your uncle's."
