More than ten minutes later, outside the town.

'Li' rushed back and joined 'Zhuo'.

"How about it?"

'Zhuo' asked.

'Lee' shook his head.

"The power in the opponent's body can not only increase the host's chakra energy in a short period of time, but also kill the host from within the body to prevent information leakage. It's really magical!"

"Perhaps, this is the reason why the leader asked us to accept the employment of the witch from the Kingdom of Ghosts. If this kind of power can be obtained by the organization, it will definitely be of great help!"

After the two briefly exchanged ideas, they quietly entered the town from one direction.

From the beginning to the end, they never thought about rescuing the townspeople, and they did not want to be misunderstood by the townspeople as their saviors, so as to avoid delaying the meeting with the leader and leaking information about themselves and others.

嗵~嗵~

The two transformed themselves into ordinary travelers and quickly arrived at the agreed-upon hotel. Under the financial offensive, the innkeeper put aside their doubts and warmly welcomed them into an upper room.

[It’s better to go talk to the guard, otherwise, you’ll always feel uneasy. 】

The town had just been attacked, but two foreign travelers appeared. Even if they were too generous to be considered bad guys, they still had to be careful.

At this time, the mayor, who was injured, was leading the remaining guards and the townspeople who volunteered to help to clean up the mess and treat the wounded.

A guard informed the mayor of the information reported by the store.

"Two people?"

The mayor thought for a moment and guessed that these two people were the masked men who appeared outside the town and drove back the evil thieves' minions.

Some of the injured guards saw them in the faint light of torches.

"Yes, two people!"

"Don't disturb them. I will go see them in person tomorrow."

"Yes!"

In the upper room on the second floor of the hotel, Homura organized the two of them who had released their transformation skills, and were meditating to restore chakra while remaining vigilant.

Tear ~ call ~

Suddenly, the window was inexplicably scratched, and before the two of them could react, the candles in the room were cut out.

Pa~ da~

'Zhuo' quickly snapped his fingers, and a small flame shot towards the candle in another place, lighting it up.

After their vision returned, the two people who were on guard saw no sign of anyone else.

"Look!"

Zhuo, who was still checking the window carefully, heard the voice behind him and turned around to look.

Next to the candle with its wick cut off, there was a note.

'Li' checked the note carefully and found nothing unusual, so he quickly picked it up and examined it.

"Tomorrow morning, we will gather on the stone bridge ten miles west of the town. Xing!"

'Li' read the content on the note with a slight surprise, turned to 'Zhuo' and continued,

"It's the contact person. He saw our transformation skills and actually put the note here under our noses, but we didn't notice anything!"

"Members who can be recognized by the leader are really not weak in strength!"

'Zhuo' said with a solemn expression.

Is the other party trying to intimidate them?

[In addition to the breath of fire escape, the crack in the window seems to have some traces of wind escape.In addition to the wind escape ninjutsu, the leader is also good at the wind and fire combined ninjutsu. Does this... have anything to do with the leader? 】

'Zhuo' had some doubts in his heart, but before seeing Xing, it was just a guess.

The two stopped talking, stopped refining chakra, and took turns keeping vigil, keeping alert.

At the same time, in the capital of the Kingdom of Ghosts, in the Miko's Palace, the Miko's bedroom.

Behind a crystal clear silk curtain, there is a white bed. On the bed, under a soft and neat quilt, lies a little girl of two or three years old.

Round face, deep sleep.

Ding~~~

There was a slight fluctuation in the air, which moved the silk curtain and made a slight tinkling sound.

The little girl, who was sleeping soundly, frowned slightly in her sleep.

The silk curtain was slowly opened, and a slender figure in palace clothes slowly walked to the side of the bed.

There was a chill in the palace. The pretty figure in palace clothes slowly stretched out her arm, and her slender fingers rested on the little girl's delicate face.

The reflection of the finger, under an evil force, turned into an evil sharp blade, with the tip pointed downwards, pointing directly at the little girl's forehead.

The little girl's face showed a look of pain. She wanted to wake up, but she seemed to be trapped in the maze of soul consciousness and couldn't wake up.

The sharp blade slowly moved down, and when it was about to touch the little girl's skin, a bright light penetrated from the soft quilt, melting the blade and forcing the figure on one side to retreat several meters away.

The colorful light formed a shield and continued to guard the little girl's side, and the faint sound of bells could be heard.

"Aster~"

With a soft and urgent call, another pretty figure in palace clothes hurriedly ran in from outside the palace, blocking the space between the previous figure and the bed.

The figure in palace clothes used the dark power in his body to swallow up the remaining dazzling power on his palm, revealing his intact palm.

"Mom~Mom~Shion is so scared."

With the help of the bright lights, the little girl successfully woke up, ran down from the bed, and raised her hand to grab Maitreya's palm.

There is a small bell on the little girl's chest, which is flashing with faint colorful light. It seems that the energy is almost exhausted and it is slowly absorbing the natural energy in the environment.

"Don't be afraid, Ziyuan. With mother here, no one can hurt you."

"Mmmmm~"

Little Ziyuan grabbed her mother's warm palm, and with Maitreya's comfort, she felt much more at ease, and gained the courage to slowly raise her little head and look at the black figure not far away.

Maitreya stretched out his other hand, activated the colorful energy in his body, and flashed it in front of little Aster, causing her to fall into a deep sleep.

The moment she closed her eyes, Xiao Ziyuan seemed to see a figure, a little familiar, yet very unfamiliar.

Miroku picked up little Shion, put her back on the bed, and covered her with the quilt, completely ignoring the dark shadow behind her.

"You should know that you can't hurt her. Why do you do this?!"

Maitreya's face turned cold and he said coldly.

The figure behind her did not speak, but strolled from the shadows into the light, revealing her true appearance.

Unexpectedly, he looked exactly like Maitreya, but his body was filled with an evil and dark aura.

"You and I are one, she is a part of you, and naturally she is also a part of me."

Dark Maitreya's voice sounded very cold.

"Don't force me!"

Miroku stood up and turned to face him.

"The wars between the five major countries have continuously brought disasters to this world. The power of witches should have been above all things in order to bring the order to this world."

Dark Maitreya said righteously, hating the war between the five major countries.

"We should believe in human beings. They will one day understand that peace is the truth in this world!"

Maitreya's voice softened, hoping to persuade the other party and give humans some trust and time.

"Believe in humans? You are too naive! Humans only care about rights and power. How do you know what true peace is?"

Dark Maitreya said disdainfully.

"Human beings can learn and grow. Even if they can't do it now, they will eventually wake up in the future! What you do is not bringing peace to this world, but destruction!"

Maitreya sticks to his philosophy.

"Stupid~ As long as humans rule this world, wars will inevitably occur. This is human nature! Even the full power of the witch cannot influence it, it can only suppress it!"

Dark Maitreya's expression turned ferocious and he roared.
