The witch called Kikyo by the mayor really lived up to her name, with beautiful and exquisite facial features, a plain hair tie tied with a black and beautiful girl-style hairstyle, but there is always a lingering lingering look between her eyebrows and eyes. The melancholy and perseverance are like the platycodon flowers growing in the mountains, which look beautiful and fragile but are actually very tough.

Such a woman should be the lingering white moonlight in a man's heart, with an unattainable but exciting appearance.

But when Yueya looked at Kikyo, she didn't feel the throbbing that a normal man should have. As soon as she saw Kikyo, Yueya saw the breath of death lingering around this priestess in red and white priestess costume.The strange thing is that even so, the pure spiritual power around Kikyo is very strong.

It is extremely rare for the air of death and spiritual power to be mixed in one person. After all, in Yueya's perception, either the air of death pollutes the spiritual power or the spiritual power purifies the dead air. Now these two things coexist in such a harmonious and contradictory way. Crescent Moon became a little dazed by being alone.

He couldn't tell whether the witch was alive or dead.

He looked at the miko in front of him, wondering whether she was alive or dead.At the same time, Kikyo, who had finished talking with the mayor of Kawakami, felt the faint aura in the air, and when she looked up, she happened to see Crescent Moon looking at her.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and their gazes were met with a touch of vigilance, especially Platycodon, the hand that was originally hanging by the side was already on the bow and arrow beside him, and the whole body was full of defense and alienation.

The mayor of Kawakami didn't notice the weird atmosphere between the two, and when he saw Yueya came back, he introduced Kikyo to Yueya with great interest.

"Yue-kun, this is the Priestess Kikyo I invited from the shrine outside the town."

Yueya used a pseudonym when she went out, but because she dressed well and spoke politely, Mayor Kawakami liked Yueya very much, so it was not surprising to introduce Kikyo to Yueya.

Crescent Moon's eyes were light, and she didn't respond much to the guard in Kikyo's eyes. She nodded in accordance with Mayor Kawakami's words, and smiled at Kikyo.

"Good day, Miko-sama."

Although she was smiling, Kikyo could see that there was no smile in the eyes of this half-demon.

The strange thing is that although Kikyo could see that the man in front of him was a half-demon, he couldn't tell what his blood was, not to mention the restrained almost non-existent evil spirit around him, even a half-demon might not be so Simple.

If we saw a half-demon in this small town where something happened, normal exorcists and witches should doubt whether Yueya is the real culprit of this murder, and even if they are not sure, they should point it out on the spot, but Kikyo He hesitated for a moment, but did not say it on the spot.

Because Yueya doesn't have the evil spirit that a monster who murders people should have, of course, if Yueya is really the culprit, she won't let it go.

Kikyo also nodded indifferently, and responded softly.

"Good day."

Dusk had come, and the bloody setting sun dyed half of the sky red, covering the town under the setting sun.The maid of Mayor Kawakami's house lit the incense burners in each house and then quietly exited the room.

The sun was gradually setting, and when the horizon submerged the last ray of sunlight, Crescent Moon who was sitting on the mattress suddenly opened her eyes, and a gleam of red light flashed in her originally clear black eyes, just like that in the room lit by candles. Bright red like blood.

The white cigarettes that are curling up from the wisteria flower incense burner are slowly floating in the air in the house. The light fragrance is most soothing to the nerves, and makes everyone who is staying at the mayor's house who is in a trance because of what happened this morning fall into comfort. in sleep.

Standing up from the tatami, Crescent Moon walked to the window and opened the window slightly. The moonlight was deep, and outside the house, apart from the occasional chirping of birds and cicadas, there was the sound of birds flapping their wings.

The nose moved, but the smell in the breeze did not change at all, which made Yueya a little unhappy, her footsteps moved slightly, and in an instant, Yueya had already stood on the roof, and her clogs stepped lightly on the roof without making any sound .

This is the advantage of monsters.

For humans, it is extremely difficult and requires unremitting efforts to achieve, but for youkai, it is just an innate ability.

Crescent Moon stands on the ridge of the roof and looks up into the distance. Mayor Kawakami's house is located in the center of the whole town, facing the only road that can enter the town. In addition, the house has a high floor, so Crescent Moon When landing on the roof, using a pair of demon eyes can naturally capture the scenery of the whole town with ease.

Holding her breath, all the demon power in her body was restrained. The breeze blew the hair of Yueya. At this time, Yueya was like a silent monument, without any vitality.

Of course, as early as when Yueya appeared on the roof, Kikyo, who came out of the house to look for evil monsters in the night, naturally also noticed the appearance of Yueya, and she instinctively raised her guard against Yueya, and she picked up the arrow. The full bow and arrow aimed at the crescent moon that suddenly appeared on the roof, and fired a magic-breaking arrow formed by spiritual power, but in an instant, the arrow flew towards the crescent moon with the sound of piercing the sky.

Sensing the arrows flying towards him, Yueya stretched out a hand to hold the fast-moving arrows in the palm of her hand with ease, spiritual power and demonic energy intertwined, and in an instant, the arrow that broke the demon had lost its former power. The power gradually dissipated in Yueya's palm.

Yueya looked suspiciously at the demon-breaking arrow that was gradually disappearing in her hand, because the spiritual power was already harmful to the demon, and because of the arrow, there were marks on Yueya's palm that seemed to be burnt, and her eyes fell on the man standing in the courtyard who was standing in the cold. Looking at his Kikyo coldly, Yueya knew that she might have misunderstood herself.

Yueya has always been afraid of trouble, sighed silently in her heart, leaped up from the ridge of the roof lightly with her feet, and landed lightly in front of the defensive Kikyo.

"You don't have to doubt me, I'm not a man-eating monster."

Even so, Kikyo would not easily believe what Yueya said, and after a few steps away, Kikyo asked, "What is your purpose for coming to town?"

It was just a coincidence that she came to this town. What purpose did Yueya have? It was only because of a case of cannibalism that happened in the town for no reason that Yueya chose to stay in this town to find out the culprit.

After pondering for a moment, Yueya replied softly: "Like you, find the murderer."

After that, Yueya turned around and flew over the roof of Mayor Kawakami again, not watching Kikyo's actions anymore.Kikyo frowned and looked at the indifferent figure above his head, and put the bow and arrow in his hand back on his back. Kikyo raised his head and looked complicated, then turned around and ran towards the town.

At midnight, the shadow reappeared in this quiet town, cruising around in front of each house, looking for the room where the wisteria flower incense burner was not lit. Maybe he was lucky, and soon found the place where he was arranged to stay at the townsman's house. In the guest house where there is no incense burner.

With his own blood ghost technique, he was able to sneak into human's homes silently like a cloud of shadows. Because of this, countless human beings died and flesh and blood were devoured by his subordinates. Even the swordsman of the ghost killing team Also help him.

A ferocious head slowly emerged from the shadows, quietly approaching the sleeping person who had no idea of ​​the approaching danger.

A pair of hands with sharp nails silently covered the sleeping passenger's mouth and nose. At the moment the passenger woke up, the evil ghost lowered his head with a grinning grin and bit off the man's throat forcefully.

The splashed blood flowed all over the ground, and the evil ghost continued to feast on the dead body on the ground with an expression of enjoyment.

The ghost who was full of food and drink dispelled his blood ghost technique and walked on the street with a strong smell of blood. The clear moonlight sprinkled the ground, fully exposing his pale skin and blood stains.

Smelling the strong smell of blood in the air, Kikyo ran at high speed, and finally met the ghost who had just relaxed after a full meal. He raised his bow and arrow and aimed at the tall figure's back and fired a demon-breaking arrow, bringing The demon-breaking arrow filled with strong spiritual power hit the bloody ghost within a short breath.

Although it is not like the sword blade of the ghost killing team that can cut off the ghost's head, the arrow with spiritual power cannot be ignored. Ghost Zhuanyan, who had just had a full meal and was satisfied, was shot by a bow and arrow, and the arrow sank into the flesh In the meantime, the ghost turned around viciously and pulled out the arrowhead on his shoulder. The wound on his shoulder caused by the arrowhead began to heal within a few breaths, and Kikyo in red and white priestess uniform fell into his eyes.

"I thought who it was, it turned out to be just a witch!"

The ghost's ferocious face was full of malicious smiles, and the corners of his grinning mouth showed sharp and fleshy teeth. With a strange smile, the ghost approached Kikyo, forgetting the arrow just now.

"Ahhh—remembering a man I ate a few months ago."

The ghost tilted his head with a malicious smile on his face, and smacked his lips as if he was still reminiscing about the taste at that time.

"As expected of a priestess, even flesh and blood is delicious that ordinary humans don't have!"

After speaking, the ghost flew towards Kikyo, "Let me taste whether your flesh and blood are as delicious as that witch's!"

Kikyo frowned, as if he was extremely confused that he couldn't kill him with one arrow, until he heard what the ghost said, Kikyo's originally calm expression suddenly changed, and he once again drew the bow and arrow in his hand to the full and used his spiritual power to gather The arrow was aimed at the ghost that was running towards him.

"It's useless! It won't kill me!"

The ghost sneered and approached Kikyo very quickly, stretched out his hand and waved his sharp claws to grab Kikyo.Kikyo turned around and quickly dodged, frowning at the ghost.

"You are not a demon." Kikyo said coldly, "What are you?"

"I?"

The evil ghost grinned and replied, "I'm a ghost!"

After the ghost said this, he activated the blood ghost technique, turning himself into a shadow again, fell on the ground, and began to approach Kikyo quickly.Kikyo picked up a bow and arrow and shot several arrows at the shadow on the ground, but when it touched the shadow on the ground, it didn't react at all, as calm as falling into the ground, but the shadow quickly approached Kikyo, and Kikyo bit He gritted his teeth and turned around and started to run, but still not faster than the ghost.

"It's useless!"

The ghost popped up from the ground and stretched out his hand to grab Kikyo, but just as he tore Kikyo's sleeves, Kikyo turned around and raised his bow and arrow, and shot the demon-destroying arrow again in the ghost's neck.

This time it may have worked, the ghost's neck began to smoke, the ghost took two steps back with a grim face, reached out and grabbed the Demon-Breaking Arrow, pulled it out, and was shot by the Demon-Breaking Arrow The wound on his neck was continuously bleeding out, but the ghost had no time to take care of it.

"Damn!! You actually hurt me!! I want to eat you!!!"

The ghost pounced on Kikyo whose shoulder had been broken when it fell to the ground. Just as Kikyo felt something was wrong and was about to turn sideways to avoid it, a figure fell silently on the ghost's shoulder.

As if under tremendous pressure, the flying ghost was instantly crushed to the ground, smashing a deep hole in the ground.

"Come here to handle the case under the order of the first consul of hell, Mr. Ghost Lantern."

The figure lightly jumped off the ghost and landed on the ground. Crescent Moon bent down and put her hands on the sword beside her, and smiled at the ghost who was stunned on the ground and said, "Tell me, who put you became like this?"

*

Although the delicate face is full of gentle smiles, it is undoubtedly terrifying to fall into the eyes of ghosts.

The ghost shook his body, gritted his teeth and turned over from the deep pit, looking at the boy in front of him warily.

Although Yueya looks weak, just because of the silent movement that landed on his shoulder just now is enough for the ghost to raise 12 points of vigilance towards Yueya, which is what Kikyo just didn't give him.

In fact, this is because Yueya brought the coercion of hell ghosts when he served in hell for a long time, and this invisible coercion is undoubtedly a natural enemy for ghosts who have escaped death, just like a mouse seeing a cat There is a natural instinct to make them afraid.

But even so, the evil ghost still dare not say that compared to the illusory coercion that Yueya brought him, it is better to say that the ghost dancer Tsuji who personally turned him into a ghost is more terrifying, not to mention the ghost dance Tsuji Wuyou. All the ghosts are cursed, if any ghost mentions his name, his body will collapse and die immediately.

The psychological shadow left by Guiwu Tsuji Wumi's blood-like eyes on the ghost is naturally more terrifying than Yueya's natural suppression. He knows very well that under Yueya's hands, he might be able to get a chance of life, but once Guiwu Tsuji Wuyou Realizing that his name was leaked would be the consequence of immediate death on the spot, of course the ghost didn't dare to challenge.

The ghost didn't speak, and was in a stalemate confrontation with Yueya, rolling his eyes around thinking about how to escape.

Time passed by little by little, but Yueya was impatient, the corners of her smiling mouth gradually flattened, Yueya frowned and looked at the evil ghost with sharp eyes in front of her, and said softly, "You don't want to say?"

"Then let me change the question." Yueya smiled and didn't care, and continued to ask: "Tell me, your weakness."

He closed his mouth tightly and said nothing, Crescent Moon's patience has gradually faded, the hand on the hilt beside him slowly pulled out the Taidao, pointed the tip of the sword at the ghost in front of him and said in a cold voice: "In that case, don't Blame me for using some means."

During the 500 years of Yueya's stay in hell, apart from learning to use her own demonic power, the other is the various torture methods in hell that she has been following for years under the hands of the ghost lamp.

Although it is impossible to learn a ten out of ten, it is enough to understand one or two points.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, the shadow of fear was even more cast in the ghost's heart.Subconsciously using the vampire technique to hide himself in the shadows and want to escape.

"Don't let him become a shadow!"

Kikyo clutched the broken shoulder from the fight with the ghost just now, and now the life-sustaining dead soul trapped in the body by the wound was slowly floating outward, but Kikyo didn't have time to think about it, watching the ghost's body gradually turning into a shadow This crescent yells.

Yueya had already seen all the process when she was on the mayor's roof, and she naturally sensed the oni's move to escape. The ghost turned into a shadow very quickly, but Yueya swung out the sword even faster and cut it in half. The body of the ghost, which was too late to become a shadow, was split into two sections to prevent the ghost from moving.

But even though his body turned into two ghosts, he didn't die immediately. He left the other half of his body and dived into the ground to escape, but the shadow that was moving fast was pierced by Crescent Moon's blade and couldn't move.

This is something Kikyo's Devil-Breaking Arrow couldn't do just now, perhaps because Crescent Moon's blade from hell is inherently resistant to ghosts.

A distorted shadow gradually emerged on the ground, and the ghost was lying on the ground struggling but found in horror that he could not escape at all, and even his severed body could not grow again.

"Who are you!!"

The ghost shouted in horror, "You are not a swordsman of the Ghost Killing Squad! Who are you!"

Yueya naturally didn't know what the Ghost Killing Squad was. He stepped on clogs and walked towards the ghost, without making any sound under his feet, like a ghost floating in the air.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The townspeople who were awakened by the sound of fighting on the street went out to check in a daze of drowsiness, but they ran into the ghost who was nailed to the ground by the crescent moon and was still struggling. After waking up, one after another lights were turned on, and the townspeople and tourists who were awakened ran out of the room to check, and they naturally saw the evil spirits on the ground.

Obviously half of the body has been cut off, but the ghost did not die.

Crescent Moon ignored the terrified eyes that looked at him, lowered her head and looked down at the tenacious evil ghost, and calmly raised her clogged foot and broke the ghost's arm, as if she was just trying to crush a bug to death Generally careless.

Even if the body can recover indefinitely, the place that should hurt will still hurt.

Under the moonlight, the blade of the sword piercing his chest gave off a faint cold light, but this was nothing compared to the pain of his own arm being crushed inch by inch.

The ghost opened its mouth and let out a scream, but Yueya quickly stretched out its hand and closed its jaw. Naturally, the scream couldn't come out.

Yueya's originally smiling eyebrows became indifferent, looking at the ghost on the ground as if he was looking at a dead thing, no, maybe in his eyes, the ghost is a dead thing.

The silver light of the moonlight sprinkled gently on Yueya's body, making his already delicate face even more divine, and his blood-like eyes glistened.

It's just that this appearance in the eyes of the ghost terrified him more than that of the ghost Wu Tsuji.

Staring at the terrified eyes of the ghost under her feet, Yueya slowly pulled out a smile from the corner of her mouth.

"Now, would you like to tell me everything about you?"

The ghost nodded frantically, wishing he could pour out everything he knew, and only hoped that Yueya could give him a good time.

He poured out all the things he knew about ghosts like beans in a bamboo tube, and naturally mentioned ghosts' weakness of being afraid of the sun and wisteria flowers. The ancestors warned them that they must light the incense of wisteria flowers at night, so they naturally thought that the reason for the two dead people was that they did not light the incense burner of wisteria flowers.

Yue Yue sat cross-legged on the ground and listened to the ghost's words, half-closed her eyes, her fingertips resting on her knees and rhythmically, she didn't seem to mind the bloody mess she caused.

Now the time has come to an end, dawn is approaching, if the sun comes out, he will turn into ashes and disappear as he said.

Crescent Moon listened to his words, and stood up from the ground, supporting the ground.

"tell me your name."

The ghost who was nailed to the ground was stunned for a moment, speechless for a long time.

He thought, what is his name?Time seemed to have passed so long that even he couldn't quite remember what his own name was.

But the memories deeply buried in my mind will not lie. There used to be a girl with a warm and dazzling smile, like a cherry blossom on a branch in spring, holding his hand and calling his name softly.

"Spring tree..."

The girl in my memory was holding his hand and walking unsteadily on the country road.

Yes, yes, his name, the name buried deep in memory.

"My name is……"

The ghost stared at the smiling crescent moon in front of his eyes with tears streaming down his eyes, and seemed to see the girl in his memory in a trance.

"My name is Haruki Fujii."

The brilliant sunlight emerged from the horizon, breaking the darkness, and the warm sunlight fell on the ghost who was once named Haruki Fujii. He lay on the ground crying, and his body gradually began to turn into fly ash.

"That ghost—" he said as he struggled with his body gradually turning into fly ash: "The name of the ghost who turned me into this appearance—"

"Ghost dance Tsuji is not miserable."

After the words fell, he disappeared with an enron smile.

Crescent Moon stood where she was, staring blankly at the sword stuck in the ground.

The ghost has disappeared, but the name he said made Yueya freeze in place.

For some reason, the name spoken by the dead ghost seemed damn familiar.

He reached out and touched the position of his chest, which was painful.

This feeling is like the pain he suddenly felt when he sat on the edge of the Santu River 500 years ago and stared at the rolling river, but it shouldn't be.For 500 years, I have never experienced that kind of feeling again. Why did it suddenly appear again after 500 years?

He stood on the side thinking deeply, while Kikyo on the other side had already stood up slowly from the ground and approached Crescent Moon.

"Thank you."

Kikyo used the wide sleeves of the shrine maiden uniform to cover the hole in her shoulder and walked slowly to Yueya. She is now made of clay, so naturally she cannot be easily revealed in front of others, but she still has to thank those who should be thanked.

"No need." Yueya looked at the injured Kikyo in front of her and said, "This is my duty."

If Kikyo's body hadn't been injured, Yueya would not be able to recognize Kikyo as the deceased who should have passed away, but Kikyo's body could be hidden from other people in the town, but Yueya couldn't.

Pulling out the sword on the ground and putting it into the scabbard, Yueya looked at the shrine maiden in front of her who was still calm even though she was in a mess.

"But tell me."

"You are a dead person, how did you come back to life?"
