Miss Zashiki

The young Yin Yang Master held his hands behind his back, leisurely watching the dilapidated mansion in front of him, with an inexplicably comfortable expression on his face, he turned his head towards them with a smile and said:

"There's still time to spare, why don't we go in and have a look around?"

Fu Xiaoyue withdrew his eyes from looking around, and looked at him in wonder and doubt: "Is there no one living here? You can just go in if you want?"

When the other party heard the words, he just laughed lightly. Just when Fu Xiaoyue thought he would not answer, he heard him whisper, "Isn't it just that no one lives here...", then he went forward and stretched out his hand to wipe the dust away. The covered door opened.

With a creaking sound, the gap between the closed wooden doors slowly opened, but before the door was completely opened and he was allowed to step in, Fu Xiaoyue was first frightened by the dog god boy who suddenly dodged in front of him. jumped.

Seeing the tense and ugly expression on his face, Fu Xiaoyue was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously flashed the thought of "how fat is everyone around me today", stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm: "Inugami? "

The Inugami boy obediently turned his head and saw the worry on her face. Although he blamed himself for the interruption of the fun, he still said very seriously:

"Master, don't go in, there's—"

He pondered for a while how to describe it, "Bad taste."

"...What does it smell like?"

Fu Xiaoyue asked rhetorically, her small nostrils fluttered a few times, but in the end she could smell nothing but the faint smell of medicine on the medicine seller's body.

"It smells very bloody..." The young man paused, but added, "It's human blood."

"—Hey, it's really boring."

Just as Fu Xiaoyue was stunned, he heard Yin Yang Master's voice.

The young man who stopped his movements slightly because of the sound behind him turned around and looked at them at some point, with a half-smile: "I only cared about the Nine Lives Cat, but I didn't consider that there is a dog beside you." ..."

He said that he seemed disappointed and helpless, and sighed softly, "In this way, there will be no surprises."

Fu Xiaoyue saw this yin and yang strange behavior, and couldn't help frowning and staring at him: "What the hell are you planning, what's going on in this house?"

"This family was slaughtered a few months ago. It was quite a shock in the vicinity at that time."

Fu Xiaoyue was speechless and choked, trying to hold back the urge to swear: "You are poisonous! Why did you bring us to this kind of place to 'play', hello!?"

The young man didn't seem to mind her attitude, and said with a slight smile, "Because I feel that this place is probably very commemorative for Mr. Yao Lang by your side."

Fu Xiao turned her head to look at the drug seller yesterday, and saw that his expression was indifferent, even if he heard his name being mentioned at this moment, he seemed not interested in making any extra fluctuations - anyway, with her eyesight, it was really a sight to see. Nothing unusual.

So she had no choice but to look suspiciously at the Yin Yang teacher in front again: "What do you mean?"

The young man didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a while, and when he finally spoke, it was inexplicably complicated and deep:

"If I say... the Sakai family, dozens of people died tragically at the hands of your Mr. Yakuro—how does Ji Jun feel?"

Fu Xiaoyue had no fluctuations in his heart, and he didn't even bother to roll his eyes: "Please rest assured, even if I am a pig, I will not believe this kind of nonsense."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Yinyang Master raised his eyebrows with mockery: "Are you really not suspicious at all? It's the hand that's holding you right now—"

Fu Xiaoyue clicked his tongue impatiently, immediately interrupted his words, grabbed the drug seller's hand without any explanation, pulled it to his mouth and took a bite: "I don't believe any hand at all. Are you satisfied?"

It was natural for her to act confidently - anyway, she has bitten it many times, is it still missing this time?

But the other people present, including the drug seller who experienced being bitten himself, all stared at the wet tooth mark and remained silent.

After a long while, Yin Yang Shicai said with a smile again: "This really moved me very much... Well, if I say that this family actually died at the hands of the Nine-Life Cat - Ji Jun will also be like the one just now." Is it as firm as it is?"

"Yes, I won't believe you even if you say the Nine Lives Cat."

"Heh... From this point of view, the so-called 'trust' is really nothing more than a blind thing." The corner of Yin Yang Master's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm.

"The fact is, one of them is indeed the murderer who caused the death of Sakai's family - at this time, who do you trust more?"

Fu Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, seeing his cold and sarcastic expression, and then looking at the drug seller next to him.

At this time, the drug seller also lowered his eyes slightly, meeting her gaze, his eyes were still calm and unwavering, like a deep pool of deep water, with a certain calming power.

Fu Xiaoyue looked at him quietly for a few seconds, then took a breath, turned his eyes to look forward again, and spoke softly but firmly:

"Don't deliberately change the concept. This is not a multiple-choice question at all. Even if I had to choose, I would not choose anyone. Neither of them I know would do such a thing."

"Hmm...it seems that you were taught to be very obedient by Mr. Yao Lang."

After being glared at by her slightly annoyed, Onmyoji continued indifferently: "Since Jun Ji refused to choose, I have no choice but to announce the answer—the person who committed the murder of the Sakai family was the Nine-Life Cat. "

"However, as Qing said, the Nine-Life Cat you know would not do such a thing. This is true, after all, it was the Nine-Life Cat you 'did not know' who slaughtered the entire Sakai House. "

Seeing her bewildered expression, Onmyoji smiled faintly: "Ji Jun should still remember the story I told you yesterday about the Zashiki boy in the brothel."

Fu Xiaoyue's heart trembled suddenly, he secretly straightened his back, and didn't look sideways at the Inugami and the drug seller beside him, feeling a little guilty.

——Didn't it mean that it was originally a plot in another parallel time and space?

——This guy actually said it so bluntly!

"Cough, remember... what's wrong?"

Different from her awkwardness, the young onmyoji is very calm:

"Just like in the brothel, there is also a story about monsters in this Sakai Mansion—this is a story about monsters that turn into cats."

-

"...That's how it is. Contaminated with the obsession and resentment of the dead woman, Huamao wants to kill the entire Sakai family, and then gain real freedom."

When Fu Xiao heard this seriously yesterday, a thread of thought flashed through his mind, and the whole demon seemed to be enlightened——

"You mean, the Nine Lives Cat is the cat monster?"

Having said that, she also recalled in a daze, the scene when she first met the Nine Lives Cat——

At that time, the Nine-Life Cat was indeed a monster. When I first met her, I couldn't help but swallow her in one gulp, but in the end, I fell down dying in the middle of the run. After sucking my own blood, I regained my passive resurrection...

Afterwards, she learned from Mr. Yue that the cat monster was the Nine-Life Cat—it was on the verge of death because of the dissipation of its grievances.

Now integrating the information from Yin Yang Master, it turns out that her grudges dissipated because she killed this family...

After sorting out the logic, Fu Xiaoyue still felt something was wrong in his heart. He vaguely felt that he seemed to have missed something, and subconsciously murmured:

"But... what does this have to do with the drug seller..."

She spoke in a low voice, but she was clearly heard by the onmyoji in front of her, who immediately laughed at Yan Yan and said, "Yeah, just like the zashiki boy in the brothel, what does it have to do with Yakuro-kun?" .”

Fu Xiaoyue was dumbfounded for a few seconds when he heard the words yesterday, then suddenly he was shocked, and his whole body trembled slightly.

——She remembered that the other party said that "Zashiki Doji" was beheaded by the medicine seller's sword of expelling demons.

If the cat monster in Sakai Mansion was originally a plot in another parallel time and space, then before it slaughtered the whole mansion, it should also die under the sword of the "protagonist" drug seller.

——But the current situation is that the Sakai family was indeed killed by the Jiuming cat.

Fu Xiaoyue pinched slightly trembling fingertips with force.She suddenly realized what the information she had just missed was.

timeline.

She ignored the timeline.

A few months ago, she had first encountered the dying monster Nine Lives, shortly after she and Inugami escaped from Hanamachi.

——It was also not long after she broke up with the drug seller.

That is to say, during that time, the medicine seller left Hanamachi and came here.

——Go to the place where I can really pull out the demon sword.

That's what he said when he was still in Lanxinglou.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyue couldn't help feeling a little helpless, from his dry throat all the way down to his entire chest, all of them felt an indescribable, sour feeling. Uncomfortably suffocated.

The drug seller quietly looked down at her.There seemed to be a gentle and soft look in the eyes that had always been cold, just like an illusion.

He held her in his arms with one hand, and with the other hand that had just been bitten not long ago, his fingers silently and soothingly patted her slender back.

Until seeing her pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look over, seeing those distinct and slightly red eye circles, the corners of his lips curled up indistinctly, and he told her in a low and deep voice:

"I am fine."
