Shimmering Blade

Spring is coming and autumn is coming, a year has passed, Mitsunaga and Hui are one year older than Sato and Giyuu, already 17 years old.

During this year, Mitsuinaga and Hui didn't encounter any powerful ghosts, but they still encountered a lot of ghosts, and they didn't even develop new models according to the needs, so they only relied on these four models until now.

The destination of this mission, after two days of rushing, Guang Yong and Hui finally arrived at the small town.

Compared with big cities such as Asakusa, this place is quite backward, but this is also the norm in most places, and Mitsuinaga and Hui are used to it.

Mitsuinaga and Hui were greeted at the door by the mayor here, or the village chief.

The village head is Shimoda Hiiragi, who is in his 40s.

He received Guang Yong and Hui to his home, but there was no one else in his house except him.

After Guangyong and Hui asked, he found out that his wife died of illness a few years ago, leaving only one son, but not many years later, his son also died of illness, and he did not live past ten years old.

Guang Yong and Hui raised the corners of their mouths slightly, "Sorry..."

Shimoda Hiiragi didn't really care. Although he was only in his 40s, his face had many wrinkles because he was too worried about the affairs of the town.At this moment when he smiled, the wrinkles on his face were revealed. He waved his hand, "It's okay."

Seeing that he didn't suffer any blows, Mitsuinaga and Hui immediately got to the point: "Then, Mr. Shimoda, what happened recently?"

Shimoda Hiiragi took out the pipe and wanted to take a puff of tobacco, "Do you mind smoking?"

Shaking his head, he sat upright, "I don't mind, please tell me."

Shimoda Hiiragi nodded his head. After lighting the tobacco, it was hard to say that the smoke was lingering, but it also made the atmosphere a little hazy, which made Shimoda Hiiragi's eyes a little less clear. His eyes seemed to be Who are you looking at through Mitsuinaga and Hui?

Guang Yong and Hui smiled, but did not speak, and did not feel that there was something wrong because of the mayor's long staring. At this moment, he was like a lifeless and delicate doll.

"If my child was still alive, he would probably be as old as you." Shimoda Hiiragi sighed faintly, "Okay... let's get down to business."

"Some time ago...I think, almost four months ago..."

It was almost four months ago, so it's been a long time, haven't you noticed?

"There is a mountain here, because there are a lot of vegetation on the mountain, so I don't worry much about the danger from the mountain, and there are not many wild animals on the mountain, so many people in the town will go to the mountain to collect medicine and hunt."

Kounaga and Hui nodded, this is normal.So far, there is nothing wrong with the narrative.

"But there are always a few people who can't come back. When they went to see it, they had been eaten by wild beasts and there was nothing left."

Eighty percent are ghosts.Kounaga and Hui thought about it.

"I didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but the frequency is too high. From one case in seven days to one death in a day or two."

This is because the ghost found that there was no danger here, and began to prey wildly.

"We finally found out that something was wrong. We were careful not to go out, but in the middle of the night, there would always be children who were seven, eight, eight or nine years old and suddenly disappeared."

"I didn't come back after that."

"Children? Are all the missing children?" Mitsuinaga and Hui frowned and thought for a while.

Shimoda Hiiragi nodded, "Yes."

"Are those people in the mountains before children or young old women?" Guang Yonghehui felt worried about this, so there were too many uncontrollable things in the town, and everyone would be prey.

Even if the beauty frowns, she looks pitiful, and she can't wait for someone to smooth his brows.

"Both." Shimoda Hiiragi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes after regaining consciousness, "You and my deceased wife have similar eyebrows and eyes."

Guang Yong and Hui smiled alienatedly, "It's really my honor." He opened his eyes, "But your wife passed away so long ago, do you still remember her appearance clearly?"

"Ah..." Shimoda Hiiragi was really vague, "Because I miss her so much, I take a look at the photos every day."

Saying so, he took out a well-preserved photo from his arms, "Look, this is her photo."

The photos of this era are not as clear as those of later generations. When Guang Yonghehui took them, he found that her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to his own, "Madam is really a beauty."

"Yeah." Shimoda Hiiragi smiled, and it was a very distracted smile. His brows and eyes were stretched, and his teeth that were slightly yellowed due to his age were exposed. "I still remember the corners of her eyes. Mole of tears, and a cute inconspicuous mole on the neck. You should see it in the photo."

But it is not in this photo, because the roughness of the photography technology cannot be seen.Mitsunaga and Hui observed it carefully, and it was a little strange, but because Shimoda Hiiragi is her husband, if you understand these things, it seems to be a normal thing.

But this photo, like a recent photo, if more than ten years have passed, no matter how you keep it, it will not be so new if you put it next to your body without a handkerchief.

When Shimoda Hiiragi took it out, the photo was not protected in any way, it was not wrapped in a handkerchief, but it seemed to be showing off, wishing that Mitsunaga and Hui would go to see the photo and agree with him.

And even the wife who praised him just now didn't have a very sad face on his face, but a bit of sadness on the contrary.

Mitsunaga and Hui smiled and said: "Really." Then he returned the photo to Shimoda Hiiragi.

In fact, in this photo, the woman in the photo looked a little dazed, but she seemed to have been captured.

This is not in line with common sense.Guang Yong and Hui secretly remembered it in their hearts.

Shimoda Hiiragi really thought of the things he was still talking about before, he smiled compensatingly, "Look at me, I have forgotten the business, let's continue talking now."

He knocked on the pipe, his eyes gradually blurred, "Ghosts are very powerful, they always seem to know where people are."

"As soon as someone wants to go out to find the Ghost Killing Squad, the family member who wants to go out will be eaten."

"Three months passed, and the six people who wanted to go out all died."

This topic is very heavy, Mitsunaga and Hui nodded, "I'm sorry we only came now."

Shimoda Hiiragi shook his head, "It's not your fault, it's good if you are willing to come, thank you."

So Mitsuinaga and Hui continued to listen.

Shimoda Hiiragi's eyes became blurred again, as if he was thinking, "But it's strange that the ghosts didn't eat them."

"It was just put there, and later, their family members found out."

Why does he look like he's remembering...

There are always many problems with this mayor, so Guang Yong and Hui have to be on guard.

"In the end, a young man from a family managed to go out." Shimoda Hiiragi continued, "He found you, but he didn't dare to come back for the time being."

"I see." Kounaga and Hui replied.

He looked outside through the window of Shimoda Hiiragi Ma's house, "It's still early, I'll go out and have a look first."

Mitsuinaga and Hui glanced at the plants on the windowsill, and finally said goodbye.

Before he went out, he looked back at Shimoda Hiiragi, but just took a look, but Shimoda Hiiragi had a very bitter expression on his face. Mitsunaga and Hui, who hadn't reacted, turned back and continued to move forward, but now that it's like this, it would be awkward to turn back again.

Mitsunaga and Hui couldn't help recalling Shimoda Hiiragi's real expression in his mind just now, a little bit bitter, and also a bit unspeakably relieved.

It was like... seeing him for the last time.

—Maybe he was mourning for himself?Why?

Guangyong Hehui saw that there was a pastry shop next to him, and the owner inside was a bit older, he looked about [-] years old, and he didn't look at what was in the shop, "Miss proprietress, give me a little bit of everything." Bar."

The proprietress beamed with joy, and she quickly wrapped the pastry for Guangyong and Hui while responding.

The money that Guang Yong and Hui handed over was worth more than these pastries. The proprietress said that she would give him change, and then turned around to count the money.

"No need, I have something to ask." The little money left over will be used as the fee for this question.Kounaga and Hui said.

Guang Yonghe Hui's face was very deceptive, the proprietress turned her head in surprise, and looked at him for a while, maybe because she had seen too many people, and she was past the age of a young girl Huaichun, she came back to her senses after a while.

Although she held the money in her hand, she did not lose her mind, "If you want to ask any secrets, I really don't know."

It seems that if Guangyong and Hui stop persuading him, Dayou intends to give him change directly.This is rejection.

Guangyong and Hui smiled, "It's okay, I'm just asking you about the mayor's house."

Speaking of this, the proprietress seemed to gossip immediately, "You also know?"

She looked left and right with those small eyes squeezed by the flesh on her face, and found that no one was paying attention, so she swiftly put away the money, and then approached Guangyong Hehui.

But before saying this, she couldn't help but be fascinated by the appearance of Guang Yong and Hui.

Look, look, how can there be such a good-looking person in this world?

Pianran Junya, Qionglin Yushu.

"Cough." The person in front of him seemed a little embarrassed by the sight, he coughed in a disguised way, and regained the mind of the proprietress.

"This lord doesn't know something. The mayor of Shimoda and his wife have been married for ten years and have no children, but they are very loving. Many people in the town can't see it but they don't participate. It's probably about [-] years old... …he just had a baby."

The proprietress gave two 'tsk tsk' sounds, "If his wife didn't die of illness later, it would really be a good story."

"How to say?" Guang Yong and Hui blinked at the proprietress.

"The child's mother, she bled heavily when she gave birth, and she almost didn't get over it. At that time, she was too overdrawn, and she couldn't do it later. She went there within two weeks." The proprietress sounded a little regretful, " That is a very gentle lady."

Mitsuinaga and Hui nodded to indicate that they heard it.

"The child didn't live past the age of ten. When he was nine years old, he was obviously in good health, but one day, he suddenly disappeared."

"Suddenly?" Mitsuinaga and Hui caught the key word.
