After the favorability rating was 99, I gave up the tour

Giyu Tomioka passed by this mountain by accident.

In the beginning, he was planning to go to the post to perform a mission, so he stayed in a small town not far away that night.However, in the middle of the night, there was a sudden roar from the mountain, like a landslide, and even the townspeople who had slept soundly were awakened from their dreams by this sound.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki is no exception.

He woke up from his sleep, looked at the mountain in the distance, and felt a terrifyingly powerful aura that belonged to ghosts, and another aura that was neither human nor ghost, floating down from the top of the mountain along the mountain wind.

——There are ghosts on this mountain!

Tomioka Yoshiyuki made a judgment in an instant, went into the mountain overnight, and threw a little ghost who was overwhelmed and wanted to deliver rations to the ghost on the mountain road.

And when he rushed to the mountainside, he saw a terrifying battlefield in the distance:

In the dense woods, an open space nearly [-] meters long and wide is embedded in it abruptly.This area is empty, and the trees that should have stood here were crushed into fine powder by unknown things, spread on the ground, piled up layer by layer, and occasionally there is a mixture of horrible blood flowing, spreading a pungent blood in this mountain forest and in a farther place, broken branches and broken trees lie across the mountain road. Countless sharp wooden thorns were thrown out during the battle and pierced into the ground high and low, turning the middle part of the entire mountain into a natural landscape. trap!

Tomioka Yoshiyuki's complexion sank, he jumped into the battlefield carefully, his eyes swept quickly, and soon found a dark Western bow buried in tree dust, a broken quiver, and a broken sword , and pieces of clothing stained with blood.

Here, there exudes an extremely terrifying breath of ghosts, as well as the breath of priests with real divine power, which is very rare in this era.

Is it the miko who encountered a ghost?

A ghost who can leave behind such a powerful aura must be very unusual, and the frightening amount of blood on the ground shows this even more.

So...how is she now? !

Tomioka Giyong's heart sank, and he couldn't bear to think about it again. After letting the crow quickly convey the situation here, he flew over these barriers composed of tall and low trees alone, and headed all the way to the top of the mountain.

He knew that he might not be the opponent of the ghost on the mountain, because the aura left by that ghost was too terrifyingly powerful, and just getting close to it made one feel chills down the spine.

——But he has a reason to never back down!

Even if it is death, it must not be escaped!

With such a mortal mentality, Yoshioka Tomioka moved forward all the way.

He had already rushed up the mountain at the fastest speed, but when he was still a third of the way from the top of the mountain, he heard a loud bang, his mind went blank, and his footsteps stopped suddenly.

As a water column, Tomioka Yoshiyuki has extraordinary strength and sensitivity beyond ordinary people-of course, such sensitivity does not refer to interpersonal relationships.

But in terms of danger and confrontation, this young man lives up to the name of Shuizhu, and his strength is beyond doubt.

However, when encountering a situation that exceeds that of a "human" or even a "ghost", such strength becomes a drag on him at this moment, making his body's instincts act rationally first, and stop him on his own initiative. Even the memory of this moment was not formed, so that when he came back to his senses, he didn't know what happened just now!

Just now... there seemed to be a dull, scalp-numbing sound, as if something was exploding.

Yes, that should be the case.

But... then what?

Tomioka Yoshiyuki thought blankly.

Why was the terrifying ghost aura on the top of the mountain weakened by half, almost disappearing?

What exactly happened just now? !

That mighty ghost...was it defeated? !

that's all?In a split second? !

At this moment, the young Shui Zhu had no answer, and the bewilderment in his heart was greater than the astonishment.

But after he regained his senses, he still chose to run to the extremely dangerous place on the top of the mountain immediately.

However, for some unknown reason, during the last part of his journey to the mountaintop shrine, the mountain road under his feet collapsed extremely badly, and the surrounding trees also fell and scattered.From this point upwards, not to mention roads, there is not even a place to stay, which greatly slows down Tomioka Giyuu's forward speed!

Tomioka Yoshiyong frowned slightly, and his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings to find out the "road" to move forward, but at this moment, an angry shout suddenly sounded from the mountain, and then, the moment he looked up, he saw a bright canopy The suspected snowflakes exploded and scattered with the wind, and a small piece of snowflakes even floated into his eyes.

what? !

Yoshiyuki Tomioka's pupils constricted suddenly, and his left eye tingled.

He raised his hand and rubbed it, but he didn't find anything, and even the tingling pain at that moment faded extremely quickly.

What... nothing? !

Tomioka Giyuu frowned, put the matter aside temporarily, and prepared to continue up the mountain.

But in fact—at that moment just now, something has indeed been changed.

Therefore, at the moment Tomioka Yoshiyuki let go, he finally discovered what had changed in himself.

—his vision.

"what is this……"

Tomioka Yoshiyuki murmured, looking at the world in front of him in disbelief.

What appeared in his eyes was light.

Countless lights.

A world made of light!

Plants on the ground have light, animals in the distance have light, and even himself has light.

But the most light still comes from the top of the mountain - the soaring black fog that covers the sky and even the moonlight!

--what is this? !

What did he see? !

What is this ominous black "black"? !

What happened to the shrine on the mountain? !

In the short moment when he was in a daze, the situation on the top of the mountain changed rapidly.

The black mist all over the sky suddenly shrank, as if he had encountered some terrible enemy, it turned into billowing black clouds and drifted towards the shade of the mountain on his left.

Tomioka Giyong was startled, and just about to catch up, he saw a terrifying light falling from the top of the mountain, like a meteor across the sky, falling towards the black mist.

Time seems to be at a stalemate for a moment here, and the sound seems to be dispersed at this moment.

It's like the vitality of the world is repeatedly seeing-saw with this destructive force.

But after an instant, this terrifying power erupted overwhelmingly in the shade of the mountain, covering the fleeing black mist in a bright sun as bright as day, creating a terrifying storm.

After that, a deafening bang came.

Rumbling--

But such a loud noise only rang in Tomioka Yoshiyuki's ears for a moment.

Because after that, only distant and continuous tinnitus echoed in Tomioka Yoshiyuki's ears.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki was dizzy, his body swayed, and he coughed suddenly, with traces of blood escaping from the corners of his lips.

He looked at the tiny blood stains on his hands in disbelief.

"how is this possible……"

"It turns out that... just relying on the aftermath..."

The blow just now had injured his internal organs with only the aftermath!

Although his injury is very slight, almost negligible, but don't forget, he is a pillar!

No... now is not the time to think about it!

Seeing that the people in the shrine had no desire to attack again, Tomioka Giyong thought for a moment, followed his intuition, came to the place where the black mist dissipated, and carefully checked: If he was not wrong, at the last critical moment, the ghost It should have landed here with the black mist.

Although I don't think there is a chance that the ghost will survive, but we should be careful and check it carefully.

When Giyuu Tomioka arrived, he saw only a tingling sinkhole.It turned out that the blow from the shrine was really powerful. Not only did it wipe out all the trees, mountains and rocks in this area, it even emptied most of the mountain, not to mention the faint ghost aura and black mist.

He searched carefully several times, and confirmed that there was indeed no trace of any ghost here, and it seemed that it had completely evaporated in the brilliant stream of light just now. Then he heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and rushed to the shrine on the mountain.

——What is waiting for him on the mountain now? !

Giyuu Tomioka thought about it.

Who is the person who issued such a terrifying blow?

Who is the ghost fighting against such a person?Could it be winding?

And tonight's change, the breath of the witch on the mountainside...

What happened to all of this? !

Giyuu Tomioka climbed over layers of rocks all the way to the steep top of the mountain. After a few minutes, he finally came to the collapsed shrine.

When he stood in front of the shrine, the first thing he saw was not the seriously collapsed shrine, nor the blood-stained flesh with strange and suspicious colors on the ground, but lying in the middle of the shrine square, his body was covered with strong ghosts. Qi, the witch who is turning into a ghost!

This is--

Tomioka Yoshiyuki's expression froze, his heart sank, the habit he had developed for a long time made the long knife in his waist unsheathed in an instant, but——

"I advise you not to act rashly."

The dangerous breath pressed against his neck like a blade, making his movements stiff for an instant.

After that, the calm and steady voice of the elder sounded.

"It's not your business."

Tomioka Yoshiyuki followed the prestige and found a tall man in red sitting on the collapsed roof of the shrine.

This man is very strange, wearing a red dress that is neither Japanese nor foreign, with short pale hair, dark skin, strange lightning-like eyebrows, even his steel gray eyes Dangerously sharp like a blade.

——A…unrecognizable, very dangerous…person?

Giyong Tomioka looked down, and found that the man in red was still holding a black western bow beside his hand. It looked ordinary, and it was hard to believe that the shocking blow just now came from it.

But at the same time, Tomioka Giyong also noticed that the bow in the hand of the man in red was exactly the same as the black bow he had seen left behind at the battlefield on the mountainside!

What does this information represent?

Countless thoughts turned in Tomioka Yoshiyuki's mind.

The man in red looked at him and said calmly:

"Put down the knife and get out of here... By the way, take these ordinary people down the mountain by the way."

The man in red turned his head.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki followed his gaze and looked aside, only to find that in a corner of the shrine, a mother was sitting quietly with her children on the side with a worried expression, staring at the priestess in the middle of the square from time to time, Sometimes staring at the side.

And beside the mother, a little girl who was also wearing a priestess costume was tied up, struggling on the ground like a live fish, whimpering and yelling from her mouth gagged with cloth strips.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka was stunned again, feeling that things were getting more and more confusing.

So he decided to temporarily ignore this strange scene.

He turned to the man in red and asked, "Do you know that she is becoming a ghost?"

The man in red said calmly, "I know."

"Are you protecting ghosts?" Tomioka Yoshiyuki asked again.

The man in red said: "Now she is not."

"But she will soon become a ghost. If a person is stained with ghost blood, he will be turned into a ghost. This process is almost irreversible. If you don't kill her now, after she turns into a ghost, you have to Feed her with human flesh?!" Tomioka Yoshiyuki's expression froze, and the knife moved from the witch on the ground to the man in red on the roof, "My job is to kill ghosts. If you want to protect ghosts, then Step over my dead body!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuh! You're talking nonsense!! Jieyue is not a ghost!!"

At this moment, the little witch with a cloth strip in her mouth finally spit out her mouth, and with angry tears in her beautiful eyes, she shouted to Tomioka Yoshiyuki: "Yueyue is not a ghost! Yuyue is the best!" Jieyue! She doesn’t know how to eat people!! She protected us, I will never let you hurt Jieyue!!!”

Tomioka Yoshiyuki looked at Nezuko, as if he had seen countless people in the past who saw their relatives turned into evil spirits.

They always think that the family relationship with each other is unbreakable, but in the end they will all become food in the mouth of ghosts.

He has seen too many such things.

Yoshiyuki Tomioka stated the facts calmly: "A ghost is a ghost. Once a person becomes a ghost, it is impossible to turn back into a human again."

"Ghosts and humans are two kinds of creatures. As long as they are ghosts, they will eat people."

"Jieyue won't!!"

"She will. All ghosts can eat people."

"She won't! She's Yuzuki! She's the best Yuzuki, and she won't become a ghost!! And she won't eat people! You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense!!" The little girl in the witch costume struggled to Forward, but the ropes that bound her could not break free, so she finally couldn't help but collapsed and cried.

Beside her, the young mother quietly held the little witch in her arms, weeping silently as she wailed.

This is a scene Tomioka Yoshiyuki has seen countless times.

Goodbye now, Tomioka Yoshiyuki couldn't tell whether it was numbness or sadness.

What's even more sad is that Tomioka Yoshiyuki knew that even if he arrived here ahead of time, he might not be able to prevent such an ending... because he couldn't defeat that ghost.

so sad.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki didn't look any further, his eyes turned from the faces of those crying to the man in red.

In the perception of Tomioka Yoshiyuki, this man in red has a very unusual aura, extremely dangerous and extremely calm, like an eternal rock, standing stubbornly on the road ahead, neither moving forward nor retreating, let alone Will be swayed by any word from anyone.

Tomioka Yoshiyuki understood that if the shocking blow just now was really sent by this man, then he might encounter the most terrifying and hopeless enemy in his life.

But he still didn't flinch.

He even took the initiative to ask, "Are you really going to stop me from killing ghosts?"

At this moment, the man in red didn't look at him, nor did he answer him.

He just sat silently on the roof, his back straight, his expression cold, smelly and hard like a stubborn stone.

But when he looked down at the witch in the pool of blood, he seemed to be vaguely sad and tired.

He thought of something long, long ago, something he thought he had forgotten.But when he saw this familiar face, they surged again and overwhelmed him.

He already knew that some things were inescapable and inescapable.

But at least—

"But at least I think..."

His voice was low and light, and it dissipated in the wind the moment he exited.

See the last moment.
