non-human secret history

I don't know what kind of negotiations Higakiri had with Shizheng. Of course, such content should not be known to me.

Anyway, Higakiri did not explain to me who their "real enemy" is, nor did he tell me what "the foundation of the world" is. He just told me that he could send I have returned to the present world.

"However, considering many factors, the time node selected this time is not the one that Xiaoqian left." Mustache said.

He didn't explain why, and it's hard for me to speculate.

—Maybe none of this matters.

I don't know exactly where this idea came from, but this idea did appear in my mind.

The time Higakiri chose for me was exactly two years after I left, and the location was still the original dilapidated house.

"Since time has many branches, which one did Hikari choose for me this time?" I asked him.

"It doesn't matter," he said. "Only the world where Xiaoqian exists is the world that is truly moving forward."

Another word I don't quite understand.

But since he said it wasn't important, maybe it really wasn't important.

When Huaguang flashed by, my mind was quite clear, as if at that moment, the twists and turns that bothered me disappeared.

——After all, it’s useless to care about it. No matter what, I only have the option of moving forward.

When I went back to that room again, I couldn't help feeling like a lifetime away—maybe it was really too long ago.

It has been so long that it can be called "things are right and people are wrong".

Turning my head lightly, I looked at the surrounding environment.There was a very strong smell of grayness sweeping over the tip of the nose. It was obvious that there was quite a lot in this room and no one took care of it.The couch I used before has long been out of shape, and there are even some weeds with shallow roots growing on it——

It's a completely abandoned house here.

Looking up, the hole that Higakiri left in the ceiling when he dealt with Ghost Mai Tsuji Mumi hadn't been repaired, and the weed seeds that floated into the house probably came from there.

It was the middle of the night at this moment, and the dark blue Milky Way dotted with stars was clearly visible, which finally added a bit of color to the dilapidated room.

I moved a little bit, but unexpectedly found an unnatural dark color that seemed to be splashed on the already mottled wall plaster—stretched out my finger, and I touched a little bit of the already dried up plaster. It looked like traces, sniffed it lightly, and as expected, smelled a pungent smell of blood——

There had obviously been a massacre in this room.

The furnishing of the room is no different from when I left, I can almost imagine the scene at that time.

I was sobbing in my heart, but suddenly there was a rustling sound from far to near.

I suddenly became alert.

Quietly, I pulled Owakizashi out of the scabbard and held it in my hand. I quietly felt the slow movement of the person coming——

Procrastinating, the man's footsteps were full of hesitation, but he was still stubbornly approaching me.

I think he is probably also aware of my existence.

I didn't go up in his direction.I don't know if it's because I just returned to this era, but right now I always feel that my body seems to have an indescribable sense of disobedience-this makes me more nervous.

The strength of the incoming person is not too strong, but it is definitely not weak among human beings. I have just recovered my spiritual power not long ago, and the current state is somewhat strange. If the other party is really an enemy...

Can you handle it?

Up and down, I moved towards the wall again, trying to give myself a little more space to circle around by taking advantage of the viewing angle.Through the wall, I firmly pointed in the direction of the person, until a victor's head with short blond hair appeared in my field of vision over the base of the wall——

It was a boy in his teens, with very handsome features, but his youthful face was full of indescribable hesitation at the moment.

Until the moment their eyes met mine.

When the eyes met, the boy's whole body froze like an electric shock. He screamed, and a pair of beautiful eyes began to appear thin water stains.

"Ahhhhhhhh, I said there must be ghosts here! And the ghosts who can take orders must be very powerful ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Could this be the legendary Twelve Ghost Moons? I'm just an ordinary soldier , let me face such a powerful guy alone, I will definitely die! I don't want to die!"

——I don't know if he will feel hypoxic after barking for so long, anyway, my brain hurts a bit from this guy's noise.

Raising my hand slightly, I wanted to rub the space between my eyebrows to calm down a bit, but such a small movement caused the other party to scream "squeak".

"Don't come here! I really don't want to be eaten!"

"Then what..." I took a deep breath, and finally raised my hand to touch my forehead: "Brother, don't panic, let's have a good talk, can't you? If you shout like this, your throat won't hurt?"

The yellow-haired boy was stunned for a moment. Although his body was still trembling uncontrollably, my words seemed to be somewhat effective. At least when he spoke again, he was much quieter than before——

Although only limited to decibels.

"Is it... a cute girl?" Almost muttering, he stared at my face, but his expression didn't ease at all because of such things: "But even if it's a super-cute girl The child and I will be killed too! Being killed by a girl is also super scary—”

So is this considered to be a slippery seam after the ultimate move is released?

Seeing that he was struggling and was about to gather his energy to end in just a moment, and his continuous voice had a tendency to rise upwards, I waved my hand a little weakly:

"So I really don't know how to eat people..."

"You liar!" The young man's tone rose again in an instant, and he almost roared: "You are obviously a ghost! Ghosts improve their strength by eating people, you are so powerful... woo woo woo..."

"I shouldn't join some ghost killing team, I don't want to be eaten by ghosts, this kind of death is too ugly..."

"..."

I think this is a little too much to talk about.No matter what I say, this little guy seems to believe that I want to eat him, and he doesn't listen to my explanation, just crying to himself——

Is this a new type of combat strategy?

It's not that I don't have sympathy or suspicion. Even through the wall, I can feel that this kid is probably equipped with a Japanese sword from the Demon Slayer Squad, and although his aura is not as good as the purgatory apricot that I have encountered before. Juro is so powerful, but he is not weaker than Furuta Eiichi and the others at all——

With such strength, and the identity of the ghost killing team, when facing ghosts, he would only cry and retreat. I definitely don't believe this kind of thing. Besides, even if he really wants to retreat, he should not come here from the beginning Wouldn't it be great?

He hesitated until he had killed him in front of me before thinking of crying. Could it be that this kid is thinking of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?

...but wait?Didn't Chikage Kazama have already negotiated with the Demon Slayer Squad?Then why did the members of the Demon Killing Team still indiscriminately equate me with that ogre team of Onimai Tsuji Muchan after they met me?

No, there seems to be something strange——

I squinted my eyes, clenched the little wakizashi in my hand, and took two steps towards the young man, and the young man suddenly let out an "ow" as if he had seen a ghost...seeing an evil ghost that could eat people Straight back.

Seeing the shivering appearance of him sitting on the ground, I only felt angry and funny.

With three points of vigilance, I pondered for a while, and finally said something half tentatively: "Little brother, to be reasonable, aren't you from the Ghost Killing Squad? Why are you afraid of me?"

"Look at your names, no matter what, the ones who should be afraid should be our side who are being hunted down?"

The young man swallowed, but suddenly seemed to be speechless.

"To be reasonable, you are the Ghost Killing Team! All the Ghost Killing Team members I have met so far are sincere and want to kill me with a knife. You feel your conscience and say, you are so cowardly, I am sorry for the ghosts. Is it the reputation of killing the team?"

I was thinking that this kind of statement might arouse a little bit of the self-esteem in the child's heart that belongs to young people, but when I opened my mouth, the young man who had been a little quiet just now screamed again, and the voice seemed to be Worse than ever before——

"Look! You admit it!"

I was a little confused by his all of a sudden.

……Wait a minute?What did I admit? Hey!

"You have fought against the seniors of the Ghost Slayer Squad! You must be able to stand here well now because you have eaten all those seniors! Wuwuwu, the powerful guy that the seniors couldn't handle is now thrown to Me, how can I handle it!"

"Who will save me! I don't want to die in such a ghostly place!"

"..."

In my opinion, this guy is really not very smart.

Even if I'm really an evil ghost who can hurt him, is it useful for him to cry like this?Wouldn't it take a lot of energy biologically to make such a loud noise?Wouldn't it be nice to have the strength to devote yourself to the battle?

——What if you win?

But I'm also a little bit lucky, at least until now, I haven't seen any signs of action from this boy. Although I don't know if he has done something heresy, anyway, there is no way I can get out of this boy who can only howl. If something comes out of his mouth, it's better to sneak away before he makes a move.

It can be regarded as a clean ear.

Thinking of this, I looked around again at the layout of the room.

This is a very compact dark room, except for the holes for ventilation, there is not even a window on the wall, and the only door that can be used to enter and exit is now occupied by the crying boy - I am really not sure When I forcibly break through in that direction, will this boy with impure motives suddenly go berserk?

To be on the safe side, the most suitable escape route right now is of course only one——

I looked up at the ceiling, which was a bit leaky and scum-like, and sighed silently.

The hole made by Hikakiri is indeed a bit narrow.

The moonlight has spread over the edge of the hole, and at this moment I can clearly see the bright crescent moon on the horizon.

——Okay, let’s be narrow, anyway, there is a wider world beckoning to me outside.

Thinking this way, I concentrated my energy, and was just about to get out of the gap at an angle that would not stain my clothes, but just as my toes were off the ground, I felt something moving towards the broken hole with lightning speed. The hole slammed down—

Good guy, didn't this kid arrange some kind of trap?
