"Shugo Hoshino."

Nuliang Liban said with a smile on his face, "It suits your name very well."

Hoshino Shugo coughed softly, but did not speak.

Seeing this, Nuliang Liban raised his voice downstairs and shouted: "Miss Boss, bring me a pot of hot water!"

"Pay the rent first!" The landlady yelled unceremoniously.

Nuliang Koipan showed a somewhat innocent expression, and he spread his hands towards Shugo Hoshino, "It seems that I no longer have credibility with the proprietress."

Although the proprietress was not forgiving, she brought up a pot of hot water and said with a grim face, "It's good that you know!"

Nuliang Liban took it with a smile, stretched out his hand and opened the door, and said to Shugo Hoshino: "Please come in."

Shugo Hoshino followed him into the house.

"Sit anywhere."

Nuliang Koipan quickly added hot water to the teapot, and then handed it to Shugo Hoshino after adding something to it.

"Here. You can't drink, but tea is okay?" Nuliang Liban said with a smile.

"Thank you." Shugo Hoshino reached out to take it, and when he saw the light purple petals and the light white platycodon saponin floating in the teacup, he couldn't help but look up at Nuliang Koipan in surprise.

"This is..." Shugo Hoshino, who had become a doctor after a long illness, naturally knew that platycodon saponin has the effect of relieving cough and calming down, but it was the first time that he was taken care of by someone who only met once.

"Scented tea." Nuliang Liban said in a natural tone, he didn't even explain why it was bellflower tea, but there was a just right smile on his lips.

Hoshino Shugo's hand holding the teacup tightened slightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes, and he joked, "Couldn't it be that you just took it by chance?"

This is an indirect acknowledgment of arranging Tsurumaru Kuninaga to follow Nuliang Kaiban.

Nuliang Carphan didn't show any anger at being followed, but just blinked at Shugo Hoshino, and said with a smile: "Of course not, how can you be such an abrupt beauty?"

But Shugo Hoshino could see clearly - Nuliang Koipan said frivolous words on his mouth, but his eyes were clear, and he never showed the slightest look of being bewildered by beauty.

What an interesting person, Mr. Koi.

Shugo Hoshino sighed inwardly.

Nuliang Liban, who was sitting opposite him, poured himself a glass of sake unhurriedly, and he took a sip, with an intoxicated look on his face.

"Good wine! I didn't expect such delicious wine to be found in such a small town. It's a worthwhile trip."

The temperature of the teacup in his hand was right, bringing obvious warmth to his body, which made Shugo Hoshino's expression relax a lot. He spoke softly and asked, "I don't know where Mr. Li came from, and why he came here. How about here?"

"Edo." Nuliang Kobi replied without concealment, "As for why you came here, it has something to do with the story I just told."

"The story about escape from suffering and eternal bliss?"

"That's right." Nuliang Liban nodded.

The story begins when Nura Koban was still in Edo.

Everyone loves beauty, and Nuliang Liban has always been very interested in meeting beauties, so naturally he would not miss the flower street where there are most beauties.

But this day, when he went to drink with the oiran of the Fujiya as usual, but when he was chatting, he heard her tell a hearsay story with a longing look on her face.

It is a church organization called "Eternal Bliss Cult", the teaching is to wash away the sins and dust of people in the world, lead believers to the most noble salvation, and let believers obtain happiness.

Nuliang Kaiban just smiled at this—he had heard countless strange stories, and this kind of church, which he had never even heard of, was probably another human being bluffing and deceiving.

It's just that the oiran, who was deeply involved in sin, was full of yearning for this. When Nuliang Kaiban left, he still held the expectation that "it would be great if I could see the leader."

Then Nuliang Liban never saw her again.

At first, Nura Kobi didn't take this matter to heart.

After all, the women in Huajie have always been replaced very quickly, maybe they were brought home by some benefactor, maybe they died because of an accident... Such reasons, nothing more.

However, when the young girl in the izakaya he frequented who was not loved by his parents and the young woman in the tea house who was often bullied by her husband also disappeared, Nura Kotomo finally felt something was wrong.

Anyway, the frequency of such disappearances is too high, right? !

After a simple inquiry, Nuliang Liban discovered that the three missing and seemingly unrelated women had all mentioned the name of "Eternal Bliss Sect".

"I originally thought that the Eternal Bliss Sect was in Edo." Nuliang Koipan shrugged and said with some helplessness: "Later, I found out that it was just an insignificant branch, and it was just a public branch. It's just a cover."

"I followed the clues all the way, and came here. In the depths of the forest in the northwest of this town, there is an extremely spacious mansion. The believers go there to listen to the teachings of the 'Master God'.

"And only those chosen by the 'Master God' can completely escape from suffering and attain bliss forever."

"'Kami-sama'?" Shugo Hoshino repeated with a strange expression on his face.

"That's right, my lord. "Nuliang Lihan looked at him, Cheng Jin's eyes sparkled with an affectionate smile, "Does Hoshino believe in the existence of "Master God"?" "

Hoshino Shugo's fingers caressed the teacup unconsciously.

"I don't know whether the gods exist or not," Hoshino Shugo lied without changing his expression, "It's just that the so-called 'Master God' of the Bliss Sect is definitely a fake—Mr. Li should be very clear about this, right? "

"You're right." Nuliang Liban nodded and said, "That's not really a 'God Lord', but just a 'ghost' who uses the name of a god to deceive the world. "

""ghost"?How did Mr. Li know? "Hoshino Shugo was not surprised by his words.

Nuliang Koban knew about the "ghost", he was not surprised at all.

Nuliang Liban drank all the sake in the wine cup, and poured himself another glass. The thick liquor rippling in his pupils, he couldn't tell whether it was the light in his eyes or the stream of liquid.

"There's no need to be sloppy at this time, Hoshino? I've already confessed so frankly."

Nuliang Koban's eyes swept over the sword hanging on Hoshino Shugo's waist, and pointed out sharply: "Hoshino, you also know about "ghosts".I have seen knives of the same material on other swordsmen. "

"Mr. Koi's eyesight is very good," Shugo Hoshino smiled, "This is a Japanese sword with special forging material, which is specially used by the Demon Slayer Team to kill "ghosts".However, for ordinary people, things like "ghosts" are not recognized. "

"Hoshino is a member of the Ghost Slayer Squad?"

"No." Knowing what he wanted to ask, Hoshino Shugo shook his head, "This knife is just left with me."

Borrow it occasionally at most.

They obviously knew nothing about each other's true identities, but they did not hide anything from each other, and shared the news that could be known openly and honestly.

Nuliang Liban was obviously aware of this, and did not get too entangled in this issue, and continued: "I bypassed layers of guards and sneaked into the mansion——I didn't find out by accident that those missing women, all of them It's all there."

"They are 'raised' in rich clothes and fine food, and enjoy the treatment that they would never have enjoyed in their original lives. It is indeed like stepping into the world of bliss.

"In addition, many believers go to the teaching site to pray every day, begging for the mercy of the gods. These believers are generally kept out of the door. It is said that only those with a sincere heart can be selected by the leader. "

"Those missing people are still alive?" Shugo Hoshino paused, and speculated: "If it's a 'sacrifice', those people usually exist as "sacrifices", and they are still alive, which proves that what? The leader of the Eternal Bliss Sect is not at the teaching site at this moment? "

"Talking with a beautiful woman will make you feel happy, and talking with a smart beauty is even more addictive." Nuliang Liban patted his palm lightly and sighed admiringly.

Shugo Hoshino was completely unmoved, looked at him expressionlessly, and said in a flat tone, "Thank you for the compliment?"

"Hoshino's reaction like this really made me doubt my own charm."

Nuliang Koipan sighed for a long time, drank the sake in the cup sullenly, and continued helplessly: "As Hoshino said, the leader is indeed not in the Bliss Cult. However, according to what I heard According to the news, he will appear in the Bliss Cult tonight."

"So, I'm going to make a big fuss." Nuliang Liban showed a troublesome smile, "It sounds interesting to take off the disguise of 'Master God' and reveal the truth, right?"

Shugo Hoshino gave a low cough, took a sip of the tea in his hand, and moistened his throat.

"However, Mr. Li lacks a sun wheel sword that can kill "ghosts". "

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you." Shugo Hoshino's blunt words made Nuliang Kobi helplessly spread his hands, "That's why I talked to you. If possible, I can ask Hoshino to borrow the sun wheel sword on you." What if I use it?"

Shugo Hoshino put the teacup on the table and shook his head without hesitation, "I refuse."

Nuliang Liban was stunned.

He has always been invincible in front of beauties, and this is the first time he has been rejected.

"May I know the reason?" Nuliang Liban asked curiously.

If it hadn't been for the fact that Miyagi Maru was unable to cut off the neck of the evil spirit by himself, Nuliang Kaihan would not have fallen into such a dilemma.

Special swords like the Sun Wheel Knife are not available everywhere.

Shugo Hoshino put his hand on the hilt of the Hikari Knife, rubbed the blade lightly with his pale and thin knuckles, and looked up at Nuliang Koihan with a half-smile: "Mr. Koi, why didn't you invite me to go with you?" What? I am very interested in killing evil spirits."

Nuliang Liban was at a loss for words for a while.

He half-closed one eye, and his gaze flicked over Hoshino Shugo.

Even though the young man in front of him has the appearance of a celestial being, his body is obviously weak and thin, and his face is as pale as if there is no trace of blood. Even if he is wearing a sun wheel sword, it seems that he can't even swing a sword. Where do you start talking about beheading evil spirits?

Although Nuliang Liban didn't say anything, his silence clearly showed this point.

Shugo Hoshino didn't care about his doubts at all, he just raised his chin casually and said, "It's not impossible for Mr. Li to borrow the Sun Wheel Saber."

"If Mr. Li can hold this knife, it's okay to give it to Mr. Li." While speaking, he untied the sun wheel knife on the side of his waist and put it on the table, and said casually: " If it doesn't work, you can't lose my name if you make a fuss about this kind of thing."

"Oh? Interesting." Shugo Hoshino's arrogant words surprised Nuliang Kaihan, "It's just that it's better not to put a beauty at risk."

Before he finished speaking, one hand quickly reached for the Sun Wheel Knife on the table.

Hoshino Shugo remained motionless, his pale and slender hand casually placed on the handle of the knife, without even the slightest intention of avoiding it.

Is there some trick?However, no matter what tricks, the opponent is just a weak patient.

But then, Nura Kobi opened his eyes in surprise, and looked at Shugo Hoshino in disbelief.

Hoshino Shugo didn't move.

Not only did he not move, but the pitch-black solar saber under his hand also did not move at all, it was firmly embedded in the table like a huge boulder of great weight.

"It seems that Mr. Li will have an extra companion tonight." Shugo Hoshino took back the Hilun Saber and said in a weak voice: "With Mr. Li's strength, it shouldn't be a problem to protect me, an ordinary person with a dilapidated body. Bar?"

Nuliang Carp Companion: "..."

Hehe, ordinary people.

"I didn't expect that I judge people by their appearance," Nuliang Liban changed his words in a polite manner, "Then, Hoshino, let's go on an adventure together!"

The sickly beauty who looks so weak is actually hiding her secrets, and Nuliang Carphan can't help but subconsciously think about whether he has acted disrespectfully before.

Shugo Hoshino was pleased by his gesture, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

"it is good."

After receiving an affirmative reply from Shugo Hoshino, Nura Kotomo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then let's set off at night. Evil ghosts are afraid of the sun, and generally only act at night, so there is no need to worry about their actions during the day."

Shugo Hoshino naturally had no objection.

"By the way, I still have a question. I don't know if Hoshino is willing to answer my doubt." Just as Shugo Hoshino was about to leave, Nuliang Koipan said suddenly.

"Oh?" Shugo Hoshino, who had already put one hand on the door, looked back at him suspiciously.

"Those two companions of Hoshino." Nuliang Carp touched his chin hesitantly, "To be honest, their aura is a bit strange—it doesn't look like a human being, nor does it look like a "ghost". "And it doesn't look like a monster either.

Shugo Hoshino hooked the corners of his lips.

Even Nuliang Liban, who has seen many beauties, can't help sighing in his heart, this person in front of him is definitely the most beautiful person he has ever seen.

Just a light smile is enough to win your heart.

"Maybe it's a god?"

Hoshino Shugo finished speaking with a smile in an ambiguous tone, and then pushed the door out without looking back, leaving Nura Kobi behind with a "you're fucking kidding me" expression on his face.
