Rihu's Pit Brother's Journey

A month later, Ichiro was not so pitiful that he couldn't stand firmly, although the sword was still knocked out, and the defeat was so disastrous.

But this seems to have reached the standard of Black Death Mou, and he went on to teach Ichiro swordsmanship.

Most of the time, they stayed in the mansion, but occasionally Hei Si Mou would take him away and mix with the human beings, as if they were looking for something, although they returned in vain every time.

Heiximu seems to be able to mimic human beings, but he has never seen it before. Heiximu's explanation is that evil spirits have to look like evil spirits, and he doesn't need to turn into a human to deceive humans to get food.

Ichiro agrees on this point, he has never seen Hei Si Mou eating people, occasionally he sees Hei Si Mou holding a bag of bright red liquid to suck it up, like eating and sucking music, it is obviously scary but also has a strange Ichiro was entangled in the cute feeling, and could only sarcastically mock the other party as a large mosquito.

It lasted until one time, Hei Si Mou wanted to leave very anxiously, after hesitating for a while, he finally took him with him.

The place where they settled was not far from a city.

When I heard the name of the city, Ichiro's problem that had been puzzling him for a long time was finally solved.

Jiguocheng - his hometown, the place where their parents and ancestors lived.

As long as the people from this city have heard such a story, it is as childish and ridiculous as a bedtime fairy tale.

... If you are chased by ghosts, ghosts, or even wicked people, go back, go back to our hometown, the city surrounded by flowers.

There - our former city lord, turned into a ghost general, still guards us.

That is, our patron saint.

Black Death Mou is very strong.

Although Ichiro had personal experience of this, it was only during sparring that he was powerless to deal with Hei Shimou who was holding a wooden knife.

Until now, until this moment, he finally understood why the thought of resistance never appeared in his heart when he saw this ghost for the first time.

--fear.

Such terrifying lethality has already exceeded the range of ghosts.In the direction they were heading, all the monsters near the city were wiped out like a tsunami, and there was no chance of them surviving!

...It turns out that I lived with such a monster?

Shi Tou Ichiro became afraid of his recklessness.

He always thought that Hei Si Mou had "some expectations" for him, and he really had some expectations.Now it seems that that is not what I thought it meant.Mostly like human beings who raise cats and dogs, they will pat the dog's head and praise the dog that brought back the wooden stick. In fact, they don't really think that it can do anything. After all, it is just a dog.

After witnessing Breath of the Moon's large-scale attack, Ichiro couldn't imagine that anyone among humans could do it, or fight against it.

Human beings, no matter how powerful they are, are only human beings.And this ghost... has already surpassed the other ghosts by far, far, far beyond normal and reasonable imagination.

Those monsters that make ordinary people fear and have no ability to deal with them are like paper in front of the ghost generals, and they will be wiped out with a single swipe.The evil ghost swordsman who went forward didn't even regard them as opponents, just waved away the flying mosquitoes lightly.

...However, the number is also too much.

Ichiro noticed something unusual. Even if he didn't know the local situation, he knew that there were so many monsters raging, it was impossible for so many humans to gather and settle down.Something must have happened here.

He didn't have time to be distracted, just catching up with the fast-moving evil ghost swordsman had exhausted his energy.Even if he didn't have to deal with those monsters that had no chance of approaching him and were annihilated long before they approached him, this speed had exhausted him.

Heishimu taught him a very simple breathing method, which is just the foundation of the basics, and the breathing method is just regular.Ichiro's mastering speed is already very fast, so fast that the other ghost killers know that they might cry bitterly, eager to reincarnate once again.It's a pity that even so, it's still far from enough. For this, Ichiro felt that it was Heishimu who slowed down his pace in order to let him keep up.

They quickly entered the city, and Ichiro followed Heisei Mou to a shrine, and Heisei Mou went directly through the torii of the shrine, as if entering a land without people.Seeing his actions are too skillful, such as entering his own back garden, Ichiro belatedly thought that since the whole city believed in the legend of Oni Generals, then the shrine here is also dedicated to Oni Generals.

It is ironic that ogres are worshiped as gods by humans.

Ichiro thought that he would be angry, but in fact, he accepted this fact very naturally.

Probably being with the evil spirits, he encountered so many extraordinary things that even he was a little accustomed to it.

He arrived at the main hall of the main house in the shrine a little later than Heishimou.

He saw that extremely arrogant evil spirit who always liked to talk about etiquette, half-kneeling on the ground.

A priest also knelt on the ground, weeping.

In front of them was... an extremely young, young witch lying on the floor, her chest was painted with a large swath of bright red, and blood dripped from the corners of her lips.

"I'm sorry... I couldn't hold... our city..."

The ghost general held the girl's hand, which was actually so small, even smaller than he thought.

——So I said from the beginning, don't let children do such things!

"Stop talking, Mengzi!" the priest choked up, "It's all me. If I had noticed earlier that the monster's goal was you, the core of the enchantment, I wouldn't have let you fall to this point!"

"Master Hei Si Mou..." the witch said, "Please... eat me."

——! ! !

"Hundreds of years have kept the agreement, thank you for your hard work. Now...I say...it's okay...let me...be your strength..."

Priest: "Mengzi!"

"Already...it's okay...eat me...I'm...'thin blood'..."

it is ready.

I see everything you do.

Knowing that to a ghost, one drop of flesh and blood is worth a hundred people's blood, but I never mentioned it.

In order to maintain the city barrier, I must maintain my spiritual power, and I have never dedicated anything of mine, not even a drop of blood to you.

Knowing that... for ghosts, if they don't eat human flesh and blood, they will gradually weaken.Human blood alone cannot sustain such a huge consumption of power that is as strong as ghosts and gods.

But I still, for my duty, for this city, for myself... took advantage of your tenderness.

It's good to stop here, the miko who guards you, it's good to be my generation.I already know...you are no longer...bound...in the end...I want...for myself...let me be with you...

"What the hell are you talking about!"

Shi Tou Ichiro couldn't help roaring, even if the other party was a poor, dying little girl, he still couldn't contain his anger.

"You people, what do you think of this guy's hard work all the time? Don't just use this reason to turn him back into an ogre! In that case, what is the difference between him and other evil spirits! Don't take Your ideals are imposed on him, and he is just a mere evil spirit!"

He didn't know what he was yelling, and why he was crying while yelling.Obviously he, since the day he separated from Muichiro, he decided not to cry easily!

Little Miko, close your eyes.

……ah,

...That's right.

...It turns out that I...have become willful again.

...Sorry, who told me that I was a child.

Me, actually... just want... think...

In the end, she was smiling, just like every time she fell into a dream.

She is a dream witch, dreams are her ability, in dreams, she is everywhere, she just returns to her world.

"She's dead."

Hei Si Mou said that from his calm voice and his unmoved appearance, there is no way to see any wavering in him.You will think, so that is the case, this is an evil ghost, no matter how similar it looks, it has already lost people's hearts.

A kind of depression and resentment stuck in Ichiro's heart, he couldn't express the indignation in his heart, he could only clenched his fists until his arms trembled.

Hei Si Mou stood up, raised his hand, and a new long knife grew out of his hand!

Ichiro: ——! !

What is that, sure enough, a monster!

The evil spirit actually used his own flesh and blood to make a knife!

It was an extremely ferocious handle, with blood and flesh pulsating and solidified on it, and there was even a cursed thing attached to it that looked like eyeballs.Heishimu held the handle of the knife, and stabbed the blade directly into the witch's heart without changing his face!

The priest was furious: "What are you doing!"

I saw the witch's blood winding up the blade, covering the entire blade.Miraculously, as if the whole knife had been washed by clear water, its oppressive and ferocious appearance faded away, and turned into a clean and gorgeous long knife exuding soft spiritual power.

Hei Si Mou pulled out the knife and threw it to the priest, who caught it in embarrassment, but his hand was still scratched by the sharp blade.Miraculously, the scratched wound healed quickly without even bleeding.

"Find a demon tree called Shan Xianweng, and use its branches as a scabbard." Hei Si Mou said, "Use it to build a new enchantment. From now on, there will be no need for a witch to be a human pillar here. This is... the last time .I will not come back. You are free, this is your city. The human city... is guarded by human beings themselves."

After that, he left.

Priest Hei Yao, who was holding the knife, didn't realize until Ichiro ran out after him, and chased after him in a daze, but there was nothing outside.

He knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

It turns out that the connection between that person and this city is so fragile.It turns out...he only stayed here for the promise, for the shrine maiden who guarded the city for generations.It was never the one who needed the city, but the city relied on him and bound him.

The city has lost its patron saint.

Ichiro, who had been silently following behind him, suddenly spoke.

"Hey, you bastard, if you want to eat, just drink my blood. As long as you don't eat people, this level should be acceptable."

Hei Si Mou didn't seem to be affected in any way, and what happened before didn't shake him.Maybe this is the evil spirit, Ichiro thought.He no longer had the extravagant hope that this guy would not kill someone.As long as they don't eat people, he thought.

"why."

Hei Si Mou stopped and looked back at the child behind him.

"Why... human beings, no. People also... eat other creatures. Why... you and Kagome... don't want me to eat people?"

Kagome?A name I've never heard of.But that didn't prevent Ichiro from understanding his problem.

"Because you used to be a human, right? Even if you are a ghost now, you should have been a human in the past."

Ichiro answered quite affirmatively. After all, the number of ghosts is so small, and it doesn't look like they have their own social system.How did the evil spirit get some human habits?Ghosts used to be people, he had guessed early on.

"When a person dies, it really doesn't matter who eats the body. Imagine if there is a famine, I might eat people just to survive. I'm not as kind as my younger brother. I'm the kind of person who wants to live for myself and my family. , the unscrupulous type.”

Ichiro bluntly declared himself a gangster. In fact, he was clearly not that kind of person, but he still measured his own moral standards to the worst extent.

If in order to save his younger brother, ten people, hundreds of people, countless unknown people died before his eyes, he would not blink.He is such a cold-blooded bastard, unlike his gentle brother.

But...Even if he is like this, he also knows that there are some boundaries that cannot be crossed.

"But you can't, because you are an evil ghost. If you eat people, you will completely abandon the past when you were a human being, and you will give up your human heart. I don't want you to eat people because I want you to keep your human heart. Even if you Is it an evil ghost, or I hope you can keep your heart, isn't it stupid to think like this?"

Hei Si Mou didn't speak, just walked over, suddenly stretched out his hand, and put it on his head.

Ichiro suffocated for a while, he thought his head was going to be pulled out by a ghost!What is this doing?

He didn't react for a while until the ghost removed its hand, turned around and continued to walk forward.

"You bastard! Why are you walking so fast, wait for me!"

'If one day you give up even your heart, then I will cut off your head! '

Ichiro made a promise with himself in his heart.

He won't say it, he's not like that young and naive witch who will tell the evil ghost about her decision.

This is my agreement with myself.
