Why is Miyashiki-sama like that?

If you only look down from the surface of the salt pan without observing the bottom of the salt pan, then there will be nothing in this boundless white world except the seven stone pillars.

There are no humans living here, it is a barren land, but interestingly, this does not mean that there are no human visits.

In fact, this time, in Zhenxiang's dream, there were human visitors who came here to hold ritual activities.

There are four people in total, two guards, one master of ceremonies, and one assistant.The guards will always watch the assistant with special vigilance, always guarding against the assistant's sudden defection.

They pushed open a wooden door that could communicate with the inner and outer spaces and walked in. Not only did they bring live chickens and holy water, they even carried a nuclear device, which would probably be detonated in case of danger.

Zhenxiang often finds them very funny, whether it is their fear of the salt pans or the rituals they perform, they are full of strange sense of humor.

The master of ceremonies will walk around the seven stone pillars and sprinkle holy water, pour holy water on the assistants, and mutter words, use an obsidian knife to kill a chicken and let the blood out, and then mix the chicken blood with the holy water.

The assistant's work may be considered more dangerous. You have to stand in the center of the circle surrounded by seven stone pillars with a mixture of blood and water, and pour the liquid while chanting: "Blood to the old gods, holy water to the new gods." king."

Probably the assistant felt that this incantation was terrible from the bottom of his heart, and he was under a lot of mental pressure, so his voice trembled with his hands when he recited it.

Zhenxiang very much doubts whether these people know or not. This kind of superstitious activity is of no use other than to make her laugh. Rather than expecting to hold a sand sculpture ceremony to strengthen the seal, they should honestly find a way to help her achieve eternal life.

But of course, no matter what human beings do, they can't really affect this area of ​​Yantian. Even if they give up the ceremony and choose nuclear peace, it will still be what it should be.

So Zhenxiang didn't expect these people to help her. She kept quiet throughout the ceremony, not even daring to make the only sound of chains that she could make.She was afraid that the fragile human being would be frightened by the sound, and her hand trembled here when she got excited.

Although it doesn't matter if it really blows her up, a mere nuclear explosion can't affect her in any way, and it can still make her watch a beautiful firework.

But it is a pity to let four people lose their lives in vain. They are a rare adjustment in this lonely and monotonous world.

Sometimes Zhenxiang felt that these four people pushed the door in from the outside just to help her pass the time, or to appease the emotions of those outside the door.

Just as the relationship between "prisoner" and "cage" can be interchanged, the roles of "player" and "baiter" can also be shared.

Perhaps, the people outside the door have long known that it is useless to do anything, the seal under this salt pan is destined to be broken, and when the last chain is decayed and broken, endless malice will destroy everything.

It must be anxiety-inducing to wait for the end to come and be powerless to stop it, right?That's why those in the know have to fabricate a useless ritual to appease others.

Maybe these four trembling people who performed the ceremony were also the ones who were appeased by the ceremony.

How pitiful.Zhenxiang thought.Is she probably crazy?To have time to pity others, obviously the most pitiful is myself who is trapped here.

-

The solitary vacation plan was terminated within a few days, not because of any unexpected situation, but because Zhenxiang was tortured by her nightly dreams.

The adjustment of mentality is very affected by the environment. Zhenxiang thinks that she always dreams about Yantian must be because her life is too lonely, and she needs some excitement and popularity.

So she decided to go to Yokohama. On the one hand, she wanted to see the situation of Chuya Nakahara. Is the outrageous project of "building a house by one person" over?On the other hand, he was going to Yokohama to meet a woman named Yosano Akiko.

The name came from Sakata Gintoki. After the Yoshihara incident, Zhenxiang chatted with everyone involved in the incident. The content of the chat with Sakata Gintoki was to solemnly invite him to join the Demon Slayer Squad.

"I'm really sorry, Gintoki prefers to live a peaceful life, right? But there are ghosts in this world who eat people for a living, and innocent people are killed every day. You can understand that this is my moral kidnapping, but ghosts kill The team really needs you to join." Zhenxiang said with a smile at that time.

And Gintoki Sakata slumped on the hospital bed like a salted fish and thought for a while, then asked, "As long as I join you, I can get rid of the life of being entangled by perverts, right?"

"It's natural."

"Okay, done."

Such a straightforward answer made Zhenxiang feel that something was wrong. Is it reasonable for a good-for-nothing good at swordsmanship to act so inflated?

She couldn't help asking: "Don't Yinshi struggle a bit?"

"What is there to struggle with? I remember being promised that as long as I join the Ghost Killing Squad, I will have enough sugar every day. Of course, I have to lie down and enjoy such a good treatment."

Such an answer immediately reassured Zhenxiang a lot, and the system also expressed its full approval: [This kind of useless wood is really hopeless, the damage to the Ghost Killing Team must be devastating. ]

So Zhenxiang smiled at the silver natural roll: "Yinshi remembered wrongly, and there is no promise of enough sugar, just five desserts a week."

These words reminded Sakata Gintoki of his close relationship with Uchiha Kyouya.

At that time, he was on the run, and the conversation with Uchiha Kyouya was as short as a few words, and the impression he left was not deep. He only vaguely remembered that there was indeed a promise about desserts.

But for such a hurried person, there will not even be a corpse left after a while.

Obviously the war is over, but there are still people living on the hidden battlefield, giving their lives to protect human beings.

What is this, a man's romance?

If a man's romance must be pursued by sacrifice and parting, then he will use his own way to prove to everyone that only living beautifully to the end is true romance.

Sakata Gintoki thought this way, digging his ears and said: "It's not bad to replenish sweets five times a week, and the more important reason is that I want to live in the way I think is beautiful and protect what I want to protect. "

He had already learned about the ghost's situation through asking people, and knew that it was a creature transformed by human beings.

After becoming a ghost, do you have to forget the feeling of being a human?It would even be contemptuous of human life in turn, which is too bad.

He has always thought that human beings are great, no matter how miserable they live, whether they are demented or dead, the memories left in people's hearts are engraved in the soul, no matter what they encounter, they will not disappear.

Man is such a sincere creature, at least he believes so.

If a ghost can destroy these beautiful things, like a virus that erodes health, he can only wield a sword to protect his soul.

Sakata Gintoki took out a metal hairpin in the shape of a butterfly from his bosom, and handed it to Zhenxiang: "Actually, I have been looking for the owner of this hairpin, and I only recently found out that she is quarantined in a facility in Yokohama. I'll give it back to her, she probably won't be happy to see me again, after all I was in that bad past."

Zhenxiang took over the issuing card, and instantly imagined a [-]-character scumbag betraying an infatuated girl's heart-wrenching plot.

[System, I actually underestimated him, this guy is not only a good-for-nothing, but also a scumbag! ]

[Tsk tsk tsk!excellent! ] The system feels that this expansion is very exciting.

"Who is the owner?" Zhenxiang asked warmly.

"It's a little girl, she should be 14 years old now, her name is Yosano Akiko." Sakata Gintoki said, "If you can, please ask my lord to help her get the sun back. She is an angel who fell into the mud , needs encouragement and cheering up. No matter who it is, even if it is suffering, it has to learn to grit its teeth and stand up again, so that even the dark clouds in the sky will take the initiative to get out of the way and obediently shine the sun on the angels."

I always feel that it should be cool when saying such things, so Sakata Gintoki deliberately said a series of metaphors and descriptions, but omitted the facts.

In the past when the war was not over, he accidentally met Akiko Yosano who was a doctor on the front line.The child was ignorant, and only felt very happy to be able to easily save people with his own abilities, but he didn't have a deep enough understanding of the cruelty of war.

He has also received several treatments with Yosano Akiko, and his impression is that the ability is really convenient.

Although he has benefited from it, he still feels that the country is hopelessly doomed by sending innocent teenage girls to the front lines.

Later, when he heard that Yosano Akiko had collapsed, he tried to blow up the base, and ended his desperate life of having to save people infinitely in this extreme way, and was finally arrested and imprisoned.

After the war, he went to the old base to look for clues. Although he didn't have a clear target and didn't have any hopes, he was really lucky to find a metal hairpin in the end.

Then find a way to return this issuing card.he thinks.So I kept it with me.

Zhenxiang failed to recover the truth from Sakata Gintoki's vague remarks, no matter how you listen to it, it is still a story of Sakata Gintoki's chaos and abandonment.

The system also thinks so: [Let him come to the Ghost Killing Squad and continue to be scumbags! ]

[Okay, okay, but just in case, I still have to ask him if I have a question. ]

"Yin Shi, are you a supernatural being?"

"If I were a supernatural being, I would definitely be able to live a good life, but unfortunately I am not."

"Then have any weird things happened around you? For example, you always feel that there are beasts following you?"

Sakata Gintoki's eyes widened: "How is it possible? Ah Yin, I am mentally healthy! Absolutely no persecution paranoia!"

[System, this time it is really stable. ] Zhenxiang said with peace of mind.

Is it possible to be unstable if the two items of "having a supernatural power" and "awakening a supernatural power but not knowing it" are excluded?

The system is very satisfied: [Directly open the back door to Yinshi Sakata, let him join the team without being selected. ]

In this way, Akutagawa Ryunosuke actively fought for the qualification to directly join the team, and was handed over to Sakata Gintoki by Zhenxiang.

This is probably an unfair life.
