Experience in building a branch of Crab Castle King in Hong Kong and Heilongjiang

When Akihara Shiina woke up again, what she saw was the old and sad face of her grandfather.

The old man's withered fingers brushed her forehead, scarred by beams and flames.

"Put your hair down, Shiina," Grandpa told her. "You'll be fine, your scars will heal...you're still young."

Yes, the wounds on the body will heal, and the scars on the epidermis can also heal.

But what about the heart?What about inner pain?Who will treat it?

Taketori Che clenched the handle of the broken knife tightly, she looked down at the broken knife full of gaps and scratches, and saw her own eyes that were brighter and more dazzling than a sharp sword on the gray knife.

"who is it?"

she asked hoarsely.

Unexpectedly, the grandfather did not name the enemy, but told her a story from a long time ago.

There was once a young mountain man who was barren because his wife was injured trying to save him in the early years, but they loved each other very much, and the man didn't care about it.

However, the wife has been brooding about this and feels ashamed of her husband.Until one day, she brought back a baby girl from the market.

"When I went to sell cloth in the morning, I picked up this child. He didn't cry or make trouble, but just smiled at me..."

The well-meaning couple adopted the girl who was left alone, and the girl was also very well-behaved and smart, and the family of three enjoyed themselves happily.However, as the days grew longer, a monster walking in the dark stared at the girl.

During an escape, the mountain people lost their beloved wife, and even lost a leg themselves—if a tall swordsman with long golden-red hair hadn't happened to pass by, their whole family might have died here.

"Only wisteria flowers can force these guys back!" The swordsman only had time to say this to them, and went to chase the monster.

Although he was asked to stay on the spot, the mountain man was too scared, so he secretly fled the place with his daughter.But the only thing to be thankful for is that he somehow remembered what the man said, and since then he has planted many wisterias around his house, and the girl has grown up, married, and had children...

Taketori Che suddenly realized that when he was young, his family seemed to have the habit of planting wisteria flowers as appreciation plants.My mother and I also have the habit of wearing wisteria flower sachets.

"Since Taro's death, your mother's attention to these chores has been far less than before." After the old man finished speaking, he stood up on crutches, turned around and wiped the old tears from the corners of his eyes, "Two days ago she wrote to me , said that the wisteria flowers at home are used up, and I hope I can send some to them... But we didn't expect it to be so soon..."

As he spoke, he limped out of the room with his left trouser leg empty.

Just like the old and painful heart of the old man.

Taketori Che stared blankly at the old man's back, closed his eyes in pain, tears slipped into the pillow.

To find... to find the man with the golden red hair!

If you want to avenge your parents, this is the only way!

In the eighth month after his parents died and were buried, on a cool summer night, Akihara Shiina's grandfather sat on a stool under the eaves and smelled the strong scent of wisteria flowers around him, and closed his eyes tiredly and relieved.

At this time, Taketori Che, who had recovered from his injuries, calmly took care of his grandfather's funeral, took his father's broken knife, thanked the simple mountain people who came all the way to attend the funeral, and packed up the valuable things at home , The furniture that can't be taken away will be given to the neighbors nearby as a thank you for many years.

In the end, she set fire to grandpa's house, and stood in the field of wisteria, her eyes gradually looking further away.

Since then, Akihara Shiina has no worries in this world.

She can embark on the journey of revenge without any worries.

【Looking for people: find the swordsman with golden red hair】

[Mission Description: In the face of inhuman opponents, all past experience is no longer effective, and only by learning more advanced means can we achieve the goal of revenge. 】

Two years later.

Akihara Shiina is almost 13 years old.

After two years of wandering in the society, she is no longer a simple and simple country girl. Her temperament has changed drastically. She wears a high ponytail, wears a bamboo hat and wears men's clothing, and looks around for news as a traveling merchant.

With the increase of experience and experience, she finally heard some reliable news at today's post.

It is said that in a small town near Osaka, there have been cases of ordinary people disappearing inexplicably recently, and they all disappeared at night.

So Taketori Che rushed all night and arrived at this seemingly peaceful town without hesitation.

In the past two years, she has also seen that horrible creature several times - it has a hideous appearance, has an independent way of thinking, likes to eat human flesh, and has magical abilities (At that time, Taketori Che didn't know that it was "" Vampirism").

The only way is to fight off the enemy with wisteria flowers, or wait until the sun comes out.In order to prevent himself from being attacked, Taketori Che kept the lesson of blood in mind, and wore a large number of wisteria flowers with him, like a walking wisteria flower spirit.

As an ordinary person, Taketori Che's record so far is two wins and one escape - she died several times in battle, all relying on the system's save file to read Dafa to resurrect and fight again.

What's more, Taketori Che used all kinds of melee combat abilities that she had cultivated in reality. I really don't know how the ancestor Akihara Shiina in actual history did this.

Japan limited edition vampire is this?

Forget it, stop insulting vampires.Vampires may still have a positive, handsome and affectionate image in their novels. I don’t know how many Eastern and Western sluts want to marry these night nobles, but it seems that I have never heard of any nympho who wants to marry a ghost who eats human flesh... ... Of course, it may also be a matter of appearance.

Taketori Che came to the town and found a cheap inn to live in for the time being.Anyway, she doesn't have much money, and she can use swordsmanship and fighting skills to deal with gangsters and hooligans, so she is not afraid of being robbed.

In the middle of the night, the rejuvenated girl jumped out of the window, wearing a long knife and a broken knife remade into a Wakizashi scabbard, and ran all the way. Using her rich experience in tracking prey in the mountains and forests, she finally found the ghost.

But unexpectedly, this time the ghost did not succeed in cannibalism, and was instead decapitated by a stalwart swordsman in white feathers with flames!

The evil spirit turned into fly ash, roared unwillingly and disappeared.

Taketori Che looked at the back of that person in a daze, her eyes were too hot and undisguised, the person turned his head after beheading the evil spirit—it was a young and bold face, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, very energetic .

The most striking thing was his hair, which was exactly the reddish-gold color that Taketori had been looking for.

Wait, if grandpa is telling the story of his youth, he can't be so young after decades, right?

"Oh! You must be talking about my grandfather!"

Half an hour later, Purgatory Kyojuro, who claimed to be a member of the "Demon Slayer Squad", sat in her room and laughed boldly.

"He was the 'flame pillar' of the team back then, and later passed it on to my father, who then passed it on to me... Oh, it's a title within us."

Taketori Che doesn't care about these, she just wants to know how to avenge her parents.So she told this man about her tragedy as concisely and restrainedly as possible.

Purgatory Xingshoulang's smile slowly faded after hearing this, and his expression became serious: "From your description, it is very likely that Lingtang is 'thin blood'."

"Thin blood?"

"Yes," Mr. Purgatory nodded, "In this world, some people's blood is different from ordinary people. Although this is no different for humans, it is very rare for ghosts. Suppose they eat a 'thin blood 'The owner is equivalent to achieving the effect of eating fifty ordinary people's strength growth..."

Taketori Che silently clenched his fists.

"You are also thin-blooded, right? Fortunately, you have been wearing wisteria flowers for many years so that you have not attracted stronger ghosts." Yan Zhu, the heroic ghost-killing team, said, "Why don't you come back to the ghost-killing team with me? We will treat you Physical and blood tests, at that time, it is up to you to decide whether to go or stay."

After so many years in the rivers and lakes, whether it is Taketori Che or Akihara Shiina, of course they can see that the purgatory Kyojuro in front of her has good intentions. She immediately nodded in agreement and thanked him loudly for his help.

"Hahaha, you don't need to thank me!" The young man stood up, laughed and patted her on the shoulder, "He who saves himself, he will always save him! I still have tasks to perform, and someone will contact you later. You go back to the Ghost Killing Team for a test, and when the time comes, you just follow the other party."

Taketori Che nodded obediently, and watched the other party leave through the window.

In the night, the figure of the young man with golden red hair rushing to the next destination quickly became small due to the distance, but just like those few people who guard thousands of human beings in the dark, they used My own flesh and blood struggled to ignite a lamp that illuminates others.

The black-haired girl was lying on the window sill, and she didn't know what to think of, but her eyes gradually became firmer.

At the same time, in Taketori's "field of view", the whole camera begins to pull up towards the sky, overlooking the sleeping town like a bird.A burst of clear opening song sounded, accompanied by several large black and red characters slowly floating in the starry sky as if burned by flames.

【Assassin's Creed: Taisho Age】

Taketori Che: ………

What are you doing with the Animus system!Really come to "Assassin's Creed: Taisho Era"? !What kind of opening song is also decently matched, and if you listen carefully, it is still some empty ear like "cooking lard bones"!

It's a pity that she is now trapped in the body of Akihara Shiina, and she can't speak out all her complaints!

It's a pity that no matter how Taketori Che complained about this matter in his mind, the story in Akihara Shiina's memory is still moving forward steadily without haste.

The promised girl stayed in this small town for another two days, until the person responsible for escorting her—a crow came to her.

"Northeast direction, northeast direction!" The crow quacked in human language, "Test, keep up! Test, keep up!"

Taketori Che:?

Oh my god, the crow has become a spirit.

Maybe it's a crow with only supernatural powers?

Even so, she followed the guidance of this overly clever little animal and found the whereabouts of the Ghost Killing Squad all the way.This foothold was an unremarkable tea house by the main road, surrounded by wisterias, which was convenient for travelers to rest—so Taketori Che entered without attracting anyone's attention.

Before she could thank the animal navigation guide for her help, the crow flew away on its own, very proud.

Fortunately, a little brother dressed in black, covered his face, and wrote "hidden" on his back appeared in front of her and told her to wait for the medical staff to come and check at the foothold for a few days.

Taketori Che obeyed the arrangement very patiently. After all, he had waited for two years, so what if he waited two or three days longer?

Sure enough, two days later, a beautiful sister with black hair and purple eyes and a white feather with a butterfly pattern went online here. Taketori Che couldn't help but look at the purple-red hairpins on both sides of the other's hair.There is no other reason. It is rare to see someone with good looks who can control such a big exaggerated hairpin...

"Ah, you are the child mentioned in Mr. Purgatory's letter, right?" The elder sister said with a very gentle smile, "I am Butterfly Kanae from the Demon Slayer Squad, and I am here to do a thin blood test for you."

"Hi Miss Kanae, I am Akihara Shiina." Taketori Che replied calmly, but he was still a girl after all, so he asked a little childishly, "What did Mr. Purgatory say about me in the letter?"

"Eh?" Sister Kanae obviously didn't expect her to be so upright when they met for the first time, she immediately took a serious look at the child and suddenly laughed.

"He said—you have a peaceful fire burning in your eyes."

Through the test, Akihara Shiina was determined to be of "thin blood".This bloodline should come from the mother whose biological parents are unknown, but neither Akihara Shiina now nor Taketori Che in a hundred years later will have any resentment about it-because when that gentle woman let Akihara Shiina come to this place That day in the world began, and to a certain extent, it also fulfilled Taketori Tetsu's coming to the world.

They are their own ancestors... We are blood relatives passed down through the blood.Taketori Che had some insight.

Then she thought of her mother, the woman who died in reality.

It is undeniable that during the first few years when Taketori Che was born, she felt that her mother was the coolest woman in the world.

After all, how many girls can live a peaceful life? But, go to the battlefield as a war reporter?

Her father is also a gentle and knowledgeable man. He works diligently, loves his family, and tells bedtime stories to his young self... It is true that her parents are kind and peace-loving people.

But they all died.

That's why there is today's Taketori Che.

At this time, Akihara Shiina didn't know what the "player" in her consciousness was missing, she just communicated quietly with Butterfly Kanae.

"Miss Akihara, you have two choices now, the first one is to wear wisteria flowers..."

"I want to join the Demon Slayer Squad." Taketori Che replied without waiting for the other party to finish speaking.

Butterfly Chanae: ...how could she still grab the lines.

But she still said seriously: "Miss Qiuyuan, are you sure? Do you know what kind of monster we are fighting against, and what kind of risks and sacrifices we have to face?"

Taketori Che nodded: "In the past two years of wandering around, I have seen three ghosts."

Butterfly Chana Hui showed surprise: "Huh?"

"I was inexperienced when I was the first ghost. I was chased by it and jumped off the cliff, and almost died. Fortunately, a passing hunter took me back to recuperate. I will go to the place where it haunted before after a week. The ghost has disappeared without a trace." Taketori Che calmly narrated his journey, his brows were calm, "I learned how to behave when the second and third ghosts were born. I went around in circles and used my own blood to attract ghosts. I took their attention away, and I managed to kill them by the time the sun came up."

The girl under the age of 13 narrated the matter in a calm tone as if "I went to the vegetable market to buy two Chinese cabbages today", as if it was really ordinary and anyone with a little bit of courage could do it Same.

But Butterfly Chanae can hear the thrilling meaning from those hidden details.

An ordinary girl with thin blood on her back, she knows a few sword skills at most, she doesn't master breathing techniques, and she has to deceive ghosts until daytime (every ghost will remember the precise time when the sun rises)... Among them The physical strength, wisdom and courage that have been put in are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Therefore, the "Style" of the Ghost Killing Team was very serious and also praised gently: "Mr. Purgatory is right, you are a very courageous child."

However, Taketori Che was not proud of it. She inexplicably thought of the charred corpse of her father and the tattered corpse of her mother who had been bitten to pieces, and the piercing pain flashed away from the bottom of her heart.

"No, I just hate that I'm not brave enough at certain moments," she replied.

Now that the matter of joining the Demon Slayer Team has been confirmed, the gentle Butterfly Kanae said that she would write to Purgatory Kyojuro. After all, it is a newcomer he discovered, and it depends on the other party's specific arrangements.So for the past few days, Taketori Che continued to live in the foothold.

The girl agreed, anyway, she could earn some pocket money by helping the tea house for a few days. Businessmen and travelers from all over the world would always bring new information and gossip when they passed by here.

But it is said that Purgatory Kyojuro, who will make arrangements for her soon, came here a week later. At that time, Taketori Che had already mixed up to the point of working for customers to check out money. She once wondered if she was caught by this The group of ghost killers forgot.

"I'm sorry it took so long to pick you up, Qiuyuan." He apologized first when we met, his face full of heroism and enthusiasm seemed a little depressed and depressed at this moment.

Taketori Che realized something was wrong.

"It's okay, Mr. Purgatory, I know you are busy with work." After a pause, the girl asked, "What happened?"

"... Kanae is dead." Mr. Purgatory said heavily, "On the fourth day after leaving here, I met a ghost on a new mission...and died on the spot!"

Taketori Che was stunned.

For a moment, she remembered what the other party had said when she solemnly asked for her opinion.

【"Miss Akihara, are you sure? Do you know what kind of monster we are fighting against, and what kind of risks and sacrifices we have to face?"】

……So this is ah.

As a ghost killing team, you must have the consciousness to die in the next second.

Although Taketori was mentally prepared, when she first heard that such a tragedy happened to someone she knew and met, she still couldn't help feeling sad and hurt for him.

The "one session and one meeting" between people is really one session and one meeting.

Just when the girl hung her head and said nothing, she suddenly found her shoulders sank. It turned out that it was Purgatory Xingshourou who stretched out his hands to hold her shoulders, and encouraged her: "I know you are in a bad mood, Qiu Yuan, but ...The flame that Kanae ignited for us will never be extinguished! It is because of her and those people's sacrifices that we need to keep our enthusiasm and cannot stop burning!"

Taketori Che's eyes widened slightly.

Years of mercenary career allowed her to initially distinguish whether what others said was the truth or casual words, and the man in front of her really believed it.

So she finally showed a smile: "Yes, Mr. Purgatory, please let my insignificant flames burn more violently."

Purgatory Kyojuro nodded in relief, and took her to the dojo for training.

The dojo is located in a deep mountain. There are natural hot springs in this mountain. The scorching ground makes it impossible for any grass to grow here, but it has become a good place to practice the breath of flame.

"This is the dojo under the name of our Purgatory Family, which can be used to train all the most basic items." Purgatory Xingshoulang said like a responsible tour guide, "If nothing happens, you will be here before you leave the teacher Trained and learned."

Taketori Che stared blankly at the young man smiling at him for a few seconds, then suddenly knelt on the ground and saluted: "The disciple has seen the teacher!"

"Hahaha! Okay, get up!" Purgatory Xingshoulang helped her up, "In fact, you should be trained by a trainer who is proficient in the breath of flames, but unfortunately our lineage... has some special circumstances, so I will temporarily assume this responsibility."

"Because I am usually busy with work, I have less time to teach you, so my younger brother Senshouro will teach you the basics, and you can also ask other seniors who came to the dojo for advice on actual combat."

Taketori Che nodded first, then suddenly realized other questions: "Well, Teacher Xingjurou...do I have any other brothers and sisters?"

"Not really." Purgatory Xingshoulang patted the back of his head shyly, "I became a 'Yan Zhu' not long ago, and I didn't have time to accept other students... Besides, I'm only sixteen this year."

Taketori Che: "...Really?"

you're lying!Teacher, you are only 16 years old?Look at your hulking body, look at the face of this energetic young man with bushy eyebrows and big eyes—you tell me you are only sixteen?You said that you are 26, which is almost fine!

"Hahaha, of course it's true, how could I still lie to you!" Purgatory Xingshourou laughed and patted her on the shoulder, his gestures were extraordinarily heroic.

The little girl was almost slapped directly into the ground by the teacher's heroic palm.

All right, you can say whatever you want.

After all, I, Taketori Che, is just a weak and helpless beautiful girl no matter in reality or in the game world.
