Kawakami Tomie

Liu Yuanyu took a closer look, there were two or three other people present besides the ones who spoke just now, they were all young and strong men, but at this moment, there was some panic in their eyes looking at him.

"Xiao Yu." Sato was also shocked by Liu Yuanyu's actions just now. After all, their ghost killing team can't hurt ordinary people, so when he turned around, he grabbed Liu Yuanyu's sleeve.

Liu Yuanyu glanced at him, put away the sun wheel knife, and threw it back to him, then looked back at the people who seemed to be frightened, and after thinking about it, he put on the mask again - after all, he didn't want to be A group of strangers entangle after falling in love.

"Need I ask again? What secrets are you hiding here?"

Sure enough, Liu Yuanyu's "threat" was still very effective, which made them finally realize that no matter how beautiful the boy in front of them was, he was still a real "samurai".

And warriors have always been worthy of awe.

"We are ghost hunters. I heard that young people, especially young women, often go missing on your side. We suspect that there are evil spirits at work, so we came to investigate the situation." Sato said in detail before the group of people opened their mouths. After reading it again, their attitude was much better than Liu Yuanyu's, and it also made them let go of most of their guard.

"Can we...can you trust you?" One of the thin men who had been silent just now hesitated to ask.

"Of course, please rest assured and trust us, we will definitely help you solve your troubles here." Saito's voice was gentle yet firm, as if it could calm people's hearts, and quickly calmed their hearts down.

"Actually...the thing is like this." The innkeeper hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak up, "Since about half a year ago, people in our town have disappeared from time to time, causing panic in the whole town."

"Then a man came from out of town and said we were fed up with the gods, and he could tell us how to make the gods love us again."

"Wait," Liu Yuanyu suddenly stopped the boss's words, and his tone was condensed, "You guys believe him that much? Did he say who he is?"

The boss was taken aback by his tone, but he insisted on continuing: "He said that god has his own religion in the world, and he is the most loyal disciple of that adult."

That sounds unbelievable, doesn't it?Liu Yuanyu rolled his eyes in his heart, but continued to ask: "Then what? Did he say what it taught? And what is the so-called method of 'making the gods love you again'?"

"It seems to be called 'Supreme Bliss Cult'. As for the method...he told us to sacrifice a young woman every month, so as to prevent the disappearance of other townspeople." The boss said, his voice became softer , Even the head slowly hangs down.

Sure enough, he heard a sneer from Liu Yuanyu, as if laughing at their stupidity.

But fortunately, Liu Yuanyu didn't do anything else after laughing, but continued to ask: "Then do you know any information about the leader? Or is it that some believer who has been contacting you all the time?"

"We only have the statue of the leader, but it's just a general appearance, because I heard that gods can't be seen..." A man whispered, and took out a small wooden statue from his arms.

Sure enough, as he said, the portrait above has only a vague outline, but he can vaguely distinguish the appearance of a young man.

They are afraid that they have been deceived.Liu Yuanyu thought to himself, and handed the statue back: "Well, tell me where the mayor's house is, and we'll go find him tomorrow morning to find out the situation."

"The mayor's family lives on the corner of the street to the west, that's the big house." Another man spoke up, as if he wanted to restore his impression in Liu Yuanyu's heart, and he took the initiative to point them in the direction.

"I see, you guys go back first." Liu Yuanyu said, the tone of the conversation suddenly changed, "Don't let me find out what tricks you guys are doing again."

"No, no, no!" Several people waved their hands one after another, scrambling to get out.

"Xiao Yu, what are you going to do?" After dismissing the group of people, Sato couldn't help but look at the young man beside him. If there is no accident, this should be his first mission, so he should take care of it more good.

"Me?" Liu Yuanyu turned his head, "I think that oracular envoy was probably made up to deceive them, or he used the name of some kind of leader. Anyway, I'll ask the mayor for details tomorrow."

"Well, listen to you, let's go to bed early today." Sato smiled, and raised his hand to stroke Liu Yuanyu's hair.

-

Early the next morning, the two went to visit the mayor. At first, the mayor refused to let them in, and pretended not to know anything about it. In the end, the two of them opened up the conversation, and the mayor couldn't help it. Do not admit that he knew these things. "Speaking of which, how do you believe that this method of offering sacrifices is useful? Just relying on the one-sided words of that believer?" Liu Yuanyu asked, since the group of people left last night, he thought of this question, and now he finally has a chance asked out.

"Actually..." the mayor glanced at the two of them, his voice lowered obviously, as if trying to avoid something, "We didn't take what he said seriously at first, but because more and more people are missing, so We just sacrificed the first..."

He didn't say the last two words, but he could probably guess that it was either "woman" or "sacrifice".

"Then you will be safe and sound for the next month?" Sato asked aloud, to be honest he couldn't accept such a thing.Although a woman was sacrificed for the sake of the whole town, has anyone considered the feelings of that woman?

"Yes..." the mayor's voice became even lower, and it's hard to detect without listening carefully, "but our town is not big in the first place, there are only a few young women of the right age, and there are several families that refuse to let people go. , so more people have gone missing recently..."

"That's why you thought of kidnapping us?" Liu Yuan smiled ironically, and the mayor couldn't help shaking, "But even so, both of us are men."

"This is also a helpless move, and the two of you are indeed good-looking..." the mayor said, and seemed to want to excuse himself, and quickly explained, "But what happened yesterday was not ordered by me... It was only later that I found out about it.”

This time Liu Yuanyu didn't make a sound, as if he was distracted.

"My lord?" the mayor couldn't help asking.

"Actually, your method is not impossible." Liu Yuan said so abruptly.

"Xiao Yu, you mean..." Sato guessed something in his heart, but he still asked.

"I can be a sacrifice this time to meet that so-called envoy." Liu Yuanyu was wearing a mask and couldn't see the expression on his face, but the two could hear a hint of interest from his mouth.

"No," Sato vetoed without thinking, "You don't even know the other party's true identity and strength, so how can you do such a dangerous thing rashly."

"Do you think the lord will arrange tasks for us that are much beyond our own strength?" Liu Yuanyu asked back.

Sato was dumbfounded. Judging from his experience in the past three months, although the ghost killing team did often have people sacrificed, most of them had accidents during the execution of the mission, and the difficulty of the mission itself was indeed on the same level as theirs. of.

And Liu Yuanyu took advantage of the time when Sato was stupefied and rubbed against his ear, and said in a smiling voice, "Besides, don't you still have this? It's fine if you protect me in secret."

The young man's voice rushed through his mind like an electric current, causing a slight tremor, making his whole ears turn red, and even his cheeks were slightly hot, but fortunately, he was covered by a mask so that he would not be noticed .

Seeing that Sato didn't speak anymore, Liu Yuanyu spontaneously took it as his consent, then turned around and asked the mayor, "When will your next sacrifice be?"

The mayor was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied, "Three days later."
