About the matter of Mrs. Chen's superstition in science

When Tanjiro and Wakana arrived at the appointed place, they apologized repeatedly for being late, and Reima leaned on the telephone pole with his arms crossed, but it didn't take long for him to arrive after some delays on the road.

Afterwards, the three of them came to a long-abandoned Japanese-style house according to Linghuan's guidance. The paper on the shoji door had long been torn and decayed, and several windows were also in jeopardy, as if they might fall down at any moment, and there was dust everywhere. And cobwebs, thigh-high weeds in the yard, barren everywhere.

"Be careful, it's just ahead, there may be the remnants of that evil spirit." Ling Huan reached out to stop them, and stopped himself.

Because of her height, Ruo Cai put her feet behind Ling Huan for a long time and didn't see what was going on in front of her. She could only half-bend down and look forward from under his arm. After looking around for a while, she didn't see anything, "Ling Huan, well Where?"

Tanjiro was taller than Wakana, and with a keen sense of smell, he saw a round well built of stones through the gap between the weeds.

I thought the well was Linghuansang's fantasy, but I didn't expect such a place to exist, but I don't know whether the evil spirit he said is real or if he mistakenly regards the ghost as an evil spirit.

"If someone walks, they will definitely leave traces in the grass. There is no grass that has been trampled down here. Let's take a closer look, shall we?"

Tanjiro didn't smell ghosts or people for the time being, maybe it was a horror story purely used to scare children from running to the well to play.

The seriousness on Ling Huan's face didn't fade a bit, and he said seriously, "Ling can suspend in the air, it's not comprehensive to judge from this alone, but you really need to get closer to investigate more clues. How about it, you guys Don't move around here, I'll go over and take a look first, and you can go there after confirming it's safe."

Wakaca couldn't help but yawned, wiped away the physiological tears from the corners of her eyes and suddenly realized that this was too rude, she blushed and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Ling Huan didn't think there was anything wrong, but just cared, "What's the matter, you look sleepy? Is it because you couldn't sleep because of what happened last night? It's no wonder that people who have been living in a peaceful world suddenly encountered such a Horrible things are natural to be afraid of.”

"No, that's not the reason." Wakana herself couldn't believe it. What happened last night didn't leave any shadow of fear at all. On the contrary, there was a feeling of déjà vu, as if she had encountered such a thing a long time ago.

Could it be that the senior who always stalked her and was rejected by her in the last confession made her immune?

Thinking about it, I was first amused by the idea.

Seeing that her expression relaxed, Linghuan didn't say any more unnecessary words, and emphasized that they should stay where they are and not move.

Tanjiro hesitated to speak, compared to Lingfan-san who can only throw salt at ghosts, no matter how you think about it, he is more suitable to be a striker, but Lingfan-san looks confident, is there some secret weapon? ?

He laughed at himself for worrying unnecessarily, maybe there is nothing there, even if there are some enemies, Linghuansang can buy some time with salt.

It will be all right.

Wakana forcibly endured the new yawn, but this thing was not so easy to bear, the sleepiness made her almost unable to keep her eyes open, and her foot swayed and hit Tanjiro's back.

Tanjiro just wanted her not to be afraid, but when he turned his face, he realized that she was approaching him because of fear, she was obviously sleepy, the corners of her eyes were flushed with bewilderment, and the eyelashes wet with tears trembled.

Tanjiro hurriedly straightened her up, paused strangely for a second, then turned around, "My wife-san, if you are too sleepy, let's go back and rest, as long as there are me and Lingfan-san here."

Wakaba was really sleepy, her speech was in a trance, and her reaction was quite slow, "Huh? Well, it still doesn't work. Those who came together want to go back together."

"But my wife-san, your state is still very worrying. Why don't you go and sit there for a while, Lingfan-san looks like it will take a long time." Tanjiro turned his back to her, "Lingfan-san has passed for a long time , I don’t know what I found?”

Wakana looked at the man who was muttering to himself from a distance, and accepted Tanjiro's suggestion, "Then I'll go over there to rest for a while, please call me if you have any problems, I also want to help you. "

"……Um."

The extremely light response was instantly blown away by the wind, and only the reddish tips of the ears covered by the ends of the hair could be vaguely seen.

Ruo Cai went to sit down in front of the corridor, propped her chin and looked at the two people over there, her vision became smaller and smaller with the chirping of insects and birds coming into her ears, gradually narrowed into a gap and finally turned into darkness.

[...Wakana, hurry up XXXX! 】

who?who is talking?

[It's okay, XXX-san, nothing will happen. 】

My... voice, is XXX a person's name?Who am I talking to?

[Now is not the time to laugh! XXXXXXXX...]

What did that person say?It's so loud, I can't hear you at all...

A crack opened up in the dark world, and the glaring white light tore the gap wider, and what appeared in front of my eyes was a slender hand with five fingers.

This is... my hand.

Wakana realized this almost instantly.

Against the light, squinting his eyes, he noticed that there were calluses on the palm of this hand that hadn't faded away for a long time, and the position didn't seem to be the reason for holding the pen.

"Ah, Linghuan-san, so why sprinkle salt?"

"The effect of purifying salt against evil spirits is the strongest. Isn't this common sense?"

"But Linghuansang's salt is just ordinary edible salt bought in the store, right?"

"Don't you know how expensive the sacred salt in the shrine is?!"

Wakana's stuck brain turned slowly, that was the voice of Tanjiro and Reiman-san, besides that, there was the sound of metal colliding.

"..."

"!!!"

Wakana straightened her upper body suddenly and looked towards the source of the sound, and suddenly found that Tanjiro was fighting with several people wearing ghost masks and armor, and dressed as samurai from the Warring States Period.

Tanjiro!Spiritual Mulberry!

Wakaca anxiously looked around for something that could be used, but there was nothing here except wood that would be reduced to cinders if squeezed too hard, and weeds all over the yard.

Ruocai kicked something with her toes when she stood up, she lowered her head, and the kicked stone rolled a few times on the ground and disappeared into the grass.

Taking another look at the armor on those strange men, Wakana picked up a handful of pebbles as fast as she could, and threw them at one of the warriors.

thump.

The stone hit the hard armor with a sharp sound.

Let Tanjiro and Linggen notice that she woke up, and also pulled the samurai's hatred value.

The movements of the six samurai were surprisingly unanimous. They held the halberd in their hands with a sword flower, pointed the tip of the knife straight at Wakana, and even the white cold air coming out from under the mask was exactly the same.

Wakana did not retreat, and this time aimed at the neck that was not protected by the armor.
