Kagome endured the pain and raised her eyelids to look at the door. She thought it would be Naraku, but when she saw the man's face clearly, she was shocked.

"Is it you?"

Kagome's face was full of confusion. It was the amiable man in the village.

At this time, the man's face did not look honest at all. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it did not smile to his eyes. The bottom of his eyes was exactly the same as Naraku's sinister.

Anger occupied his heart. Kagome gasped, and his abdomen twitched and hurt. He stared at the man and asked word by word, "Who are you?"

"Naraku's clone?"

"No," Kagome denied before the man spoke, "You don't have the breath of Naraku."

"You are a human, cough cough..." Kagome coughed twice. Even this degree of coughing would make his whole body tremble, twitching the wounds on his body and aggravating the injury.

The man seemed to have enjoyed Kagome's embarrassment enough, he chuckled, "If I were you, I should keep my strength now, instead of saying this nonsense."

Kagome pursed her lips and said nothing.

Casting his eyes to Ogawa standing next to Kagome, the man smiled with satisfaction, "Well done, Ogawa."

"Come here, kid."

Ogawa didn't move, his eyes staring blankly at the void, two fingers curled up, and the half-coagulated blood on his fingertips slowly fell.

The man didn't get an answer, but sighed with regret, "It's broken..."

Kagome's heart skipped a beat, and she clenched her fingers, "What did you do to Ogawa? What do you mean...broken?"

Kagome said the last few words with difficulty, and she had an ominous premonition.

"Hmm?" The man raised his eyebrows and looked at Kagome with interest, "You still have the mood to worry about others? No wonder my subordinates call you the 'kind-hearted' noble lord."

He bit the word "kind-hearted" very hard, and a trace of inexplicable ridicule flashed in his eyes.

Kagome didn't understand, and he couldn't think too much now. The pain from the torn wound kept reminding him that he should deal with it, otherwise he would pass out due to excessive blood loss.

But... Kagome took a deep breath and asked repeatedly, "How is Ogawa?"

"She? Her memory has been tampered with too many times, here..." The man tapped his forehead, "She may be injured, but it doesn't matter, at most she will become a fool, I will take good care of her~"

Since Ogawa walked out of this door, she no longer remembered what she was going to do. She only had one goal, which was to put the dagger he gave her into Kagome's body.

"There's nothing I can do. This kid has a deep trust in you. To prevent her from saying things she shouldn't, I can only change her memory."

"You are a person--" Kagome was extremely angry, with two clusters of anger dancing in her eyes, "rubbish! You actually changed other people's memories without authorization... People like you, no, you are not human! You are more disgusting than a monster!"

Uh--

I couldn't help but raise my voice. After cursing, Kagome's face became even paler. He took two short breaths and calmed down.

"... Heh, disgusting? Don't make yourself sound so noble." The man sneered, mocking in his eyes.

His eyes rolled and he suddenly smiled, "Come to think of it, she didn't have to become like this. Originally, as long as you were dealt with by the monster outside, she could sleep and return to the village without any incident."

"It's just that the half-demon who has a grudge against you came to me and told me something... Humph, a half-demon is a half-demon. What's the use of having half of the monster's blood? It's stupid and weak."

"Half-demon? You mean Naraku?" Kagome suddenly realized, he was unbelievable, "You have cooperation with Naraku? What does he have that is worth you using so many children to get? Our lives? We don't have any deep hatred, right?"

"Deep hatred? Of course not." The man shook his head, "But I need a monster army... He can give it, that's all."

Monster army

Kagome was stunned, thinking that they were also humans who came for the fragments of the Four Souls Jewel, but she didn't expect...

He recovered and smiled meaningfully, "Naraku is not a monster who keeps his promises... You cooperate with him, he is just using you, and when he really solves us, you will be the next one."

"No need to flatter me, no need to sow discord, don't worry about my affairs, noble~sir~"

The man lowered his eyes in boredom, of course he knew, and he also planned to do so... Lowly monsters, if they were not needed to deal with the group of Onmyoji in Kyoto... A cold light flashed by.

Spreading his hands to interrupt Kagome's words, he casually patted Kagome's barrier, and laughed again, "A barrier with no attack at all, a child's thing, wasting such strong spiritual power in vain, whose family is it? Let me think... Higurashi... Higurashi family?"

"A noble I haven't heard of, is it a noble that appeared later? Forget it, I left for too long..."The man was nagging while waving at Ogawa, "Ogawa, let's go."

Ogawa heard someone calling her, and she raised her head in confusion, but her feet were still motionless.

"Throw away the broken ones... No, what if it's the same as the last one, oh, it's really troublesome."

The man's tone was a little impatient, and he ordered, "Ogawa, go home, move."

Kagome pricked up her ears, took in the man's words, and extracted important information. The pain slowed down his thinking.

When the man ordered Ogawa, his brain reacted, and a trace of pain appeared on Ogawa's numb face. As if he was enduring great pain, his body trembled and moved.

"No... You can't go with him!"

Kagome forced herself to hold on to her body, grabbed Ogawa's hand and pressed it to the ground. The dagger in her abdomen was moving vigorously, and fresh blood continued to flow out of the wound.

"Come here, Ogawa." The man ordered to follow closely.

Ogawa trembled all over, hugged her head and huddled up. Even so, she arched her body and struggled to get up.

[Come here, come here, come here...]

The brain issued commands frantically, and it seemed that broken memories passed through her mind.

The broken door, the tearful woman, the shrill cry, the companion with pigtails...

——"Run ■, run!!"

——"What if Sister Ogawa and the others catch up? Ogawa... Sister Ogawa!"

——"■, don't worry about me, run, run to another village and ask them for help! ■, run! The farther the better!"

Who is ■?

"Um..."

Ogawa grabbed his head, and his five fingers left deep fingerprints on his head.

Kagome's face changed, and he quickly grabbed her hand. The dagger under him rubbed against his flesh and blood, and he frowned, not letting this thing stay in his body forever.

But pulling it out will cause secondary damage... Looking at Xiaochuan struggling in pain, Kagome's eyes gradually became firm. She didn't care too much. Secondary damage is better than repeated damage in the body.

The hand that stopped the bleeding squeezed the wound hard, and the other hand held the handle of the knife. After clenching her teeth, Kagome pulled out the dagger without any hesitation.

"Clang."

The dagger fell to the ground.

The man took in everything he did with a cold eye and pulled the corner of his mouth, "Idiot."

Give an order.

"Xiaochuan, pick up the dagger, just like before... Good boy, this time you have to prepare the heart."

Kagome closed her eyes in pain, and suddenly opened her eyes when she heard the words, looking at Xiaochuan with concern. Sure enough, Xiaochuan curled up more after receiving the order, and a barely audible groan came out of his throat.

He quickly put away the dagger and glared at the man, "Stop giving orders! Are you a beast? Does Xiaochuan look like he can move like this?!"

Holding Xiaochuan, the child's hands and feet twitched, his face was faintly blue, and his lower lip was bitten bloody. Kagome hugged her tightly with heartache and tried to input spiritual power into her.

"Don't bother, this is not an evil spirit entering the body, spiritual power is useless."

Spiritual power cannot heal wounds, Kagome certainly knew, but she ignored the man and focused on sending spiritual power to Xiaochuan.

Means of controlling people... Master Mengxin was controlled by insects that time, and the culprit... is in front of him.

After thinking for a few moments, Kagome pursed her lips and maintained her movements without making a sound.

The man completely lost his patience, "It's gone, your barrier is still quite strong... This is the only way."

He turned his eyes to behind Kagome.

"You can protect one person, but... what about a group?"

The children who were lying on the ground and sleeping opened their eyes one by one, stood up listlessly, and approached Kagome step by step.

Kagome pursed her lips and protected herself with the dagger stained with his blood.

"Hmm~" the man suddenly smiled, "Use the dagger to protect yourself, and choose to point the tip of the knife at the child... You see, you are the same when it comes to yourself. We are the same kind of people."
