Asakusa at night is a completely different scene from daytime, and what is interesting is that the crowded areas such as commercial streets look different from those surrounding areas that are not even fully paved with electric lights.
After delivering today's milk, Taketori Che found a roadside ramen stand to eat ramen.The grey-bearded ramen chef added a lot of ingredients to her. The char siu is soft and glutinous, the soft-boiled eggs are sweet, and the dried bamboo shoots are crisp and chewy... Both the ramen itself and the noodle soup base are made with care.
Anyway, overeating in the game will not make you fat, Taketori Che eats with peace of mind and moves his index finger, but his eyes can't stop looking at the streets outside where people come and go.
Then she saw it.
An astonishingly long blood bar passed by in the crowd.
The data bar is really long, almost occupying the width of the entire street in Taketori Che's eyes!In addition, the grade mark on the side is "???" in an unknown state.
So the girl opened her system panel blankly, and found that her level was level 91...
Then, in the eyes of my nearly full level, there will be such a length of blood bars and indistinguishable data levels, which can only explain one thing - the guy in the crowd is either the Shangxianyi whose information is unknown so far, or the ghost king Ghost dance Tsuji no misery!
It can't be some sweeping monk who has lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years!
Facing such a powerful enemy, it is extremely dangerous to look directly with the eyes, and the sight will startle these powerful enemies with keen perception.Taketori Che hurriedly picked up the empty wine bottle left by the neighbor who had just left, pretending to admire the brand name on the bottle, but in fact he was observing that guy through the reflection of the glass bottle itself and the surrounding lights.
——It was a black-haired man wearing a black top hat with a white background and a new style of western clothes. His pupils had an ominous blood red color, and he seemed to be talking and laughing with his wife and children, and he didn't notice what was going on here. Ramen street stall.
But the second he saw this guy, the "hunting genealogy map" in the system symbolized that the black mist that was the core ghost king finally dissipated, and the evil ghost mask disappeared.
The king of ghosts... This guy is the king of ghosts, the "ancestor of ghosts" for thousands of years, ghost dance Tsuji Wumi!
At this moment, the blazing night many years ago appeared in front of the girl's eyes. The scene of the mother's broken body and the father's remains nailed to death on the tatami was like yesterday.
Her left hand hidden in the sleeve reached under the counter tremblingly, holding the handle of the cane—only the handle of the sun wheel knife only separated by a layer of wooden protective sheath, could barely extinguish the flames of anger and mania in her heart at the moment.
Taketori Che wanted to rush out almost for a moment, but the ramen chef in front of him noticed her strange expression, and was afraid that she would eat the overlord's meal, so he pretended to ask her if she wanted a bottle of wine too.
Thanks to the sensitivity of the ramen master, who awakened Taketori Che's rationality, she did not make any suspicious or dangerous actions.
She smiled—a polite smile that almost forced herself to twitch the corners of her mouth—and put down the bottle, declining the drink offer.Then she casually took two mouthfuls of the remaining ramen, handed the meal money to the other party, got up and patted the dust off her gown, leaned on crutches, and limped towards the stream of people.
If someone pays attention to this humble milkman all the time, he will find that although the child's legs and feet seem to be inconvenient, his walking speed is far beyond ordinary people.
Although Taketori Che's cane was touching the ground, she didn't dare to activate her "Three Types: Mingming" to investigate Onimai Tsuji Mumi, and she didn't even dare to get too close to the opponent. She just resorted to the tracking practiced in reality Tricks, hide in the crowd and follow this guy from a distance.Finally found this guy's foothold and observed secretly for an hour, making sure that the other party would not leave before leaving immediately.
From Taketori Che's perception just now, the other party's wife and children are obviously human beings, and there is no bloody smell on their bodies, which shows that Wu Mi is most likely using the identities of the mother and daughter as a cover.
Knowing the importance of this matter, Taketori Che quickly found a safe place and wanted to write a letter to Yoya Shiki, but stopped when he picked up the pen.
No... At least get a little more evidence.Moreover, it is not safe enough to send letters by manpower or by crows.
The girl turned around and ran back to the commercial street, and rushed into the photo studio that was not yet closed, intending to buy a camera and come back.
But to her disappointment, the cameras of this era are not only bulky and expensive, but also make popping noises, glaring white light, and even wisps of white smoke when taking pictures... If you point such a silly thing at Ghost Dance Taking pictures with Tsuji's face, accompanied by the explosion of the disposable spotlight "Bang!", Taketori Che can guarantee with his knees that his save file for the third week will definitely be blown up on the spot.
Forget it, anyway, Taketori Che has learned the simplest character sketch in modern society anyway, at worst, he will go back to the Demon Slayer and copy it according to the character image in the system.
She turned around and wanted to leave this place, but found that she had inadvertently come to an area that she had rarely passed by before, and where there were relatively few wealthy households.
Taketori Che casually released the "type" used for investigation, but to her surprise, a small unremarkable "stone" suddenly appeared on the calm "water surface".
In other words, something in this area blocked her perception.
The girl was stunned for a few seconds, and then she was overjoyed, knowing that she probably won the lottery tonight.
She followed the guidance of "Three Types, Ming Ming" all the way, and finally found the destination she was looking for in a place that looked like a gray and white wall.
In the eyes of outsiders, this may be just a wall, but when Taketori Che restarted the "Comprehensive Breathing·Changzhong" and looked at it intently, this illusion that was supposed to be some kind of blindfold finally showed a flaw in front of her eyes!
Taketori Che waved the wooden cane without hesitation, smashing this flaw.
In the next second, a small two-storey western-style building quietly appeared in front of her eyes, and the moonlight in the courtyard was as bright as water.
Taketori Che rushed in, she was afraid that if she ran a little slower, the vigilant Mrs. Zhushi would run away.
After all, to be able to live under the ghost king's nose for so long without being discovered, there are still two brushes.
Sure enough, before Taketori took two more steps forward, the surrounding scene changed in an instant, from the originally peaceful and quiet hut to the burning ruins of war, and countless horrifying phantoms crawled out of the ground...
"I didn't come to fight!" Taketori Che clenched the wooden cane in his hand, but did not draw the knife out of its sheath.She shouted loudly, she knew that the manipulator of the illusion would definitely be able to hear her words, "I am the 'prison pillar' Akihara Shiina of the Demon Slayer Squad, and I am here on behalf of the goodwill of the Demon Slayer Squad and the main production Yashiki Yoya, Please see Mrs. Zhu Shi!"
The illusion in front of him seemed to be frozen for a few seconds, and someone snorted coldly from an invisible place: "An uninvited person is a bad guest!"
"If I were a villain, I would draw my sword at this time." Taketori tried to show the most amiable smile in his life, "What should I do to make you believe me?"
"If you cut your own neck we'll believe you're here to negotiate..." the voice continued savagely.
"Yushiro!" A soft and magnetic female voice yelled at the illusion operator, "Don't be rude to the guests, I can feel that Miss Akihara has no malice."
Yushiro seemed to want to defend something: "But..."
However, as the words fell, the illusion in front of Taketori Che's eyes gradually dissipated, and he returned to a normal small bungalow.
Standing at the door of the bungalow were Mrs. Tsuyoshi in a kimono and Yushiro in a white shirt boy.
But the smells that pass from them all indicate that they are ghosts rather than humans.
Mrs. Zhu Shi has a beautiful appearance, but the most attractive thing is her gentle and compassionate gaze, which is different from the general tyrannical evil spirits who only know how to hunt and kill humans.Even the bad-tempered Yushirou from before didn't have much blood on him, which also shows... If Taketori Che insisted on breaking the illusion just now, it might really be all right.
After all, the strength of an oni is related to the number of humans it has eaten. If Yushiro seldom eats humans, then his frontal combat strength must be very weak.
"Hello." Mrs. Zhu Shi didn't have much smile on her face, but she just looked at her sadly. If you look carefully, the lady's expression seems to be a little nervous, "This Miss Prison Zhu of the Ghost Killing Squad , you said just now... you came here on behalf of the goodwill of the Ghost Killing Squad and your master?"
Taketori Che took a deep breath, although he didn't know how Ershumuri Zamon Tanjiro and Ubuyashiki Yoya persuaded each other to cooperate, but since there was such a probability of success, it means that Mrs. Tsuyoshi still cooperated possible.
Therefore, she bowed slightly to the lady, and first stated her position: "Exactly, if I wanted to eradicate the two of you, I would have done it when the illusion dissipated just now."
The irritable boy Yushiro became furious when he heard it: "How dare you? If you want to hurt Mrs. Zhushi, you can step over my dead body first!"
"..."
Taketori Che secretly thought, I have never heard such a strange request, since you insist on thinking like this, then I have no choice but to hack you to death...
Fortunately, at this moment, Mrs. Zhushi once again said helplessly to the young man: "Yushiro! Ms. Akihara is just making an example, don't be so rude to the guests."
"Okay, okay, since Mrs. Zhushi asked." Yushiro was forced to agree.
In fact, Taketori Che was not too angry, she could understand Yushiro's tense nerves and anxiety by putting herself in another place.
Suppose a formidable enemy broke into your house without prior notice, and threatened yourself and important people... If it was the girl herself, she would definitely go up and cut the enemy to the last bit of blood before asking why the other party attacked her house.
Afterwards, Mrs. Zhushi asked Yushiro to repair the flaw in the blindfold at the entrance of the courtyard, and she invited Taketori Che into the room for a detailed discussion.
Although I didn't get the instruction of Yuya Miyayashiki in advance, but who wouldn't brag about it?Therefore, her eloquence was eloquent and her thoughts were in an orderly manner, which frightened Mrs. Zhushi and Yushiro who rushed back to listen later.
"Did Your Excellency Ubuyashiki really say that?" Mrs. Zhushi was very surprised, "Together develop a secret medicine for Wu Mi..."
"Yes, the Demon Slayer Team needs your strength." Taketori Che said sincerely, "Our goal is the same as yours, that is, to kill the ghost king. Our fundamental interests do not conflict, and there is even a lot of room for cooperation. .So I hope you can think carefully about my proposal."
Mrs. Zhushi looked distressed, and Taketori knew that the other party needed time to think about it, so he stood up with a smile and said goodbye.
When he heard this sentence, Yushiro was surprised: "Aren't you afraid that we will take the opportunity to escape?"
"Of course I'm also worried." Taketori Che replied with a smile, "But, rather than a little doubt, I hope to show enough kindness and sincerity to the two of you. I believe that the two of you will not give up this century-old A rare chance to cooperate and escape."
That's right, it doesn't matter if she runs away, anyway, she has already set the save point before entering the door... root!Book!No!Afraid!
But Mrs. Zhushi, who didn't know what to do, was still moved by her sincere remarks, and even Yushiro, who had been violent and opposed to cooperation, didn't say anything.
"This matter is very important, and I still need to think carefully before making a conclusion." Mrs. Zhu Shi said when she sent her away, "But within three days, we will definitely reply to you. Please bring this talisman paper, Then we can use it to find you, Yushiro?"
Yushiro, who received the order, with a dark face, handed over a piece of white talisman paper with a simple red eye symbol drawn on it.
That's his blood ghost technique.
Taketori Che took the talisman paper and looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it only had the tracking function, he also told frankly: "I will return to the station for the specific progress of this matter and report it to the lord in time. Therefore, I cannot carry this paper with me to avoid Leaked information, but it can be given to my crow. It can find me through it."
Yushiro's expression became darker, as if he was aggrieved by this distrust.But Mrs. Zhu Shi is a mature person after all, knowing that before the cooperation is fully reached, the two parties will maintain an appropriate distance to maintain mutual trust, so she nodded and agreed immediately.
After bidding farewell to the two special ghosts, Taketori Che called the "macho" crow, tied this piece of paper to it, and then told the macho to go around the area around Tokyo twice. Don't come to the Ghost Killing Squad station to find yourself—unless Mrs. Zhu Shi agrees to cooperate, so that the people from the "hidden" army can transfer information to myself in the station.
The fierce man pecked at her finger, agreed and flew away, the little figure disappeared into the night.
Taketori Che took a deep breath, the reason why the operation was so cumbersome was to keep the most top-secret Demon Slayer Squad base secret.
Raising the level of confidentiality a little bit is good for both parties.
At least Mrs. Zhu Shi will not think that this matter is a trap because she feels that she has exposed some secrets too frankly.
After releasing his crows, Taketori came to the foothold of the "Hidden" troops in Asakusa, told them to be careful for the past two days, and then rushed back to the base of the Demon Slayer Squad by himself.
The reason why the intelligence department is not allowed to monitor Wu Mi and Mrs. Zhu Shi is because they are afraid that these people will startle the snake and cause unnecessary influence.
Yuya Ubuyashiki received the cipher text from Asakusa half a day in advance, so she knew that something important must have happened for Taketori Tetsu to come overnight—otherwise, why would she suddenly give up her disguise as a milkman? ?
Sure enough, the two pieces of information that Taketori Che brought back were extremely valuable.
Mrs. Zhu Shi will not talk about it, but as a ghost, she got rid of Wu Mi's control and wholeheartedly wants to stab Wu Mi back. This is a situation I have never heard of and is a scientific research talent worth fighting for.And more importantly... the ghost king's information!
"Onimai Tsuji, have you really seen him? Shiina!" Yoya Ubuyashiki asked a little excitedly, "Are you sure that is Wuyou!"
"Yes, my lord. My 'type' made me hear a ghost calling him 'Master Wu Mi' in person. So on the way back, I have already drawn his appearance based on my memory."
Taketori Che casually told a little lie, not saying that he drew it according to the "hunting genealogy map", anyway, it is enough to draw it realistically, isn't it?
The emaciated leader of the Ghost Killing Squad took the scroll of portraits, and when he opened it, he gasped for breath.
Although he was drawing with charcoal, Taketori Che only had two or three strokes to outline the oppressive and evil temperament of Onimai Tsuji Mumi, especially his eyes, which symbolized a lot of blood and ominousness.
Just a black and white charcoal drawing is like this, how vicious must a real person be?
Ubuyashiki Yoya stared at the face on the portrait that was somewhat similar to his face before he got the curse, and suddenly understood how Taketori Che could distinguish the Oni King.
"Thank you for your hard work." He sighed and said, "As for Wu Mi's relationship with me..."
"My lord, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it." Taketori Cheru keenly noticed Yoya Ubuyashiki's sighs, and quickly stopped him.
In fact, I still really want to hear gossip...
Yoya Miyashiki smiled softly, with a soft voice: "Thank you for your concern, Shiina, but there is no need to hide anything. He was originally from our Miyashiki clan, in other words, he is of the same family as me .”
In the Heian era thousands of years ago, there was a young man from a prominent family who suffered from serious illness for many years.
One day after seeking treatment from many famous doctors to no avail, a doctor gave this young man a different prescription.
But the new drugs didn't work, and the young man was getting weaker and weaker by the day.He couldn't bear it anymore, and angrily killed the doctor who was still defending himself, claiming that the treatment course had not been fully completed.
Not long after the doctor died, the young man who was terminally ill became healthy day by day.
His strength has become stronger, his physique has improved, his eyesight has grown, and his speed has increased... At the same time, he can no longer step into the sun, and his desire for meals has changed from normal food to human.
Because from the very beginning, his treatment sessions were not complete.
The innocent doctor's new prescription is actually useful, but because of the execution of the doctor, the troubled doctor Onimai Tsuji Mumi will only become a dark creature for the next thousand years.
"The appearance of the ancestor of the ghost made our Ubuyashiki clan suffer a lot of curses, and those who died because of him passed on most of the grievances to our clan." Yoya Ubuyashiki lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, "We began to appear people The reduction of the number of children and the death of young children. Later, many adults could not live to be 30 years old. Everyone was panicked and didn't know what was going on. It wasn't until a priest guided us that we knew it was the crime of Onimai Tsuji. The crime has affected the whole family."
Taketori Che listened to the story very carefully, it was all important information, something he hadn't heard of in the previous two weeks.This time, if it didn't happen that he was the "Pillar" and brought the information about Wu Mi, I am afraid that Yoya Ubuyashiki would not have told him the whole secret.
"Fortunately, the priest also told me that if I want to get rid of the root of the curse, I must kill Wu Mi. But the only way to cure the symptoms but not the root cause is to intermarry with the priests who serve the gods, so as to continue the blood of the family. Otherwise, we would have died The family name was cut off a thousand years ago..."
Taketori Che suddenly realized: "So Mrs. Tianyin is from a priest family?"
"Yes, Shiina, you are right." Yoya Miyayashiki smiled unconsciously when talking about his wife, obviously loving his wife very much, "I met her on a blind date back then, and I will curse the family I told her all frankly and said that if she didn't want to get married, I would give up immediately. But Tianyin not only stayed, but also helped her through so many years of ups and downs. I am very grateful for that... "
The little girl blinked her eyes, envious of this loving couple.But this is all off-topic, Ubayashiki Yoya asked her to keep the story of the thousand-year entanglement between the Oni King and the Ubayashiki family a secret, and not tell outsiders.Because he was worried that the spread of this matter would shake the morale and morale of the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Squad.
——The Ghost Killing Squad insists on killing ghosts, not for the benefit of one family, but for the safety of thousands of ordinary people.
This is the original intention of Ubayashiki Yoya, and it is also the sin borne by the past generations of Ubayashiki.As long as they don't die for a day, they will cleanse this sin and pain from generation to generation.
Of course Taketori Che agreed, it's rare for his boss to trust him to say a few little secrets, so he can't just say something stupid like I just want to leak the secret, right?
"I have already ordered to go down and hold the 'Pillar Meeting' that was scheduled to be next month in advance. At the latest, the day after tomorrow, you will be able to see other pillars." Yuya Miyashiki comforted, "At that time, you will be required to attend the meeting. Is it possible to make an information explanation about Wu Mi?"
"No problem, my lord." Taketori nodded, and then asked a little anxiously, "Well... as for Mrs. Zhushi, will you agree to cooperate with him?"
Because she was the one who set the bridge for this matter, the girl hoped to succeed.
Yuya Ubuyashiki pondered for a moment, "Shiina, you know that many people in our ghost killing team have deep hatred for ghosts, including you."
"So, when you suggested to me to cooperate with ghosts to deal with Wu Mi, I was very surprised."
Taketori was a little embarrassed, but he insisted on explaining: "Ms. Zhushi is different from other ghosts, I can feel it. And under her guidance, Yushiro has never eaten anyone since he became a ghost due to critical illness." , just spending money to buy human blood to maintain life..."
Yuya Ubuyashiki nodded gently, "Yes, it is precisely because of its particularity and self-discipline, otherwise I would not have considered this matter seriously. For thousands of years, there has never been an oni who has escaped the control of the Oni King... Well, this matter should not be publicized for the time being. I will let Kanae the 'Style' Butterfly return to Asakusa overnight with you to deal with this matter. That child Kanae is very gentle to people and ghosts. This is a fact recognized by everyone. And she is one of the pillars with the highest level of scientific research among us. If even she approves of Mrs. Zhu Shi, then I have no other opinions."
After hearing this, Taketori Che was overjoyed. In the second week, the two sisters "Huazhu" and "Chongzhu" started scientific research cooperation with Mrs. Zhushi and made a lot of big news...
"Yes, I'm going to find Master Hua Zhu and go back together!"
"It's just hard work for you to run back and forth, Shiina."
"It's not hard, as long as you can defeat Wu Mi, you don't have to do anything hard!" Taketori Che grinned, and the little Huya looked a little playful under the light.
Seeing the retreating figure of the other party, Yoya Miyayashiki thoughtfully picked up the sketch on the table, opened it to look at it for a while, and tightly clenched the edge of the drawing paper with his fingers, as if to hold The key that symbolizes "change" in destiny.
"Wu Mi... Wu Mi! I have a hunch that the day to break the deadlock will not be too far away!"
After delivering today's milk, Taketori Che found a roadside ramen stand to eat ramen.The grey-bearded ramen chef added a lot of ingredients to her. The char siu is soft and glutinous, the soft-boiled eggs are sweet, and the dried bamboo shoots are crisp and chewy... Both the ramen itself and the noodle soup base are made with care.
Anyway, overeating in the game will not make you fat, Taketori Che eats with peace of mind and moves his index finger, but his eyes can't stop looking at the streets outside where people come and go.

——It was a black-haired man wearing a black top hat with a white background and a new style of western clothes. His pupils had an ominous blood red color, and he seemed to be talking and laughing with his wife and children, and he didn't notice what was going on here. Ramen street stall.
But the second he saw this guy, the "hunting genealogy map" in the system symbolized that the black mist that was the core ghost king finally dissipated, and the evil ghost mask disappeared.

But to her disappointment, the cameras of this era are not only bulky and expensive, but also make popping noises, glaring white light, and even wisps of white smoke when taking pictures... If you point such a silly thing at Ghost Dance Taking pictures with Tsuji's face, accompanied by the explosion of the disposable spotlight "Bang!", Taketori Che can guarantee with his knees that his save file for the third week will definitely be blown up on the spot.

The illusion in front of him seemed to be frozen for a few seconds, and someone snorted coldly from an invisible place: "An uninvited person is a bad guest!"
"If I were a villain, I would draw my sword at this time." Taketori tried to show the most amiable smile in his life, "What should I do to make you believe me?"

"Did Your Excellency Ubuyashiki really say that?" Mrs. Zhushi was very surprised, "Together develop a secret medicine for Wu Mi..."
"Yes, the Demon Slayer Team needs your strength." Taketori Che said sincerely, "Our goal is the same as yours, that is, to kill the ghost king. Our fundamental interests do not conflict, and there is even a lot of room for cooperation. .So I hope you can think carefully about my proposal."
Mrs. Zhushi looked distressed, and Taketori knew that the other party needed time to think about it, so he stood up with a smile and said goodbye.
When he heard this sentence, Yushiro was surprised: "Aren't you afraid that we will take the opportunity to escape?"
"Of course I'm also worried." Taketori Che replied with a smile, "But, rather than a little doubt, I hope to show enough kindness and sincerity to the two of you. I believe that the two of you will not give up this century-old A rare chance to cooperate and escape."
That's right, it doesn't matter if she runs away, anyway, she has already set the save point before entering the door... root!Book!No!Afraid!
But Mrs. Zhushi, who didn't know what to do, was still moved by her sincere remarks, and even Yushiro, who had been violent and opposed to cooperation, didn't say anything.
"This matter is very important, and I still need to think carefully before making a conclusion." Mrs. Zhu Shi said when she sent her away, "But within three days, we will definitely reply to you. Please bring this talisman paper, Then we can use it to find you, Yushiro?"
Yushiro, who received the order, with a dark face, handed over a piece of white talisman paper with a simple red eye symbol drawn on it.
That's his blood ghost technique.
Taketori Che took the talisman paper and looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it only had the tracking function, he also told frankly: "I will return to the station for the specific progress of this matter and report it to the lord in time. Therefore, I cannot carry this paper with me to avoid Leaked information, but it can be given to my crow. It can find me through it."
Yushiro's expression became darker, as if he was aggrieved by this distrust.But Mrs. Zhu Shi is a mature person after all, knowing that before the cooperation is fully reached, the two parties will maintain an appropriate distance to maintain mutual trust, so she nodded and agreed immediately.
After bidding farewell to the two special ghosts, Taketori Che called the "macho" crow, tied this piece of paper to it, and then told the macho to go around the area around Tokyo twice. Don't come to the Ghost Killing Squad station to find yourself—unless Mrs. Zhu Shi agrees to cooperate, so that the people from the "hidden" army can transfer information to myself in the station.
The fierce man pecked at her finger, agreed and flew away, the little figure disappeared into the night.
Taketori Che took a deep breath, the reason why the operation was so cumbersome was to keep the most top-secret Demon Slayer Squad base secret.
Raising the level of confidentiality a little bit is good for both parties.
At least Mrs. Zhu Shi will not think that this matter is a trap because she feels that she has exposed some secrets too frankly.
After releasing his crows, Taketori came to the foothold of the "Hidden" troops in Asakusa, told them to be careful for the past two days, and then rushed back to the base of the Demon Slayer Squad by himself.
The reason why the intelligence department is not allowed to monitor Wu Mi and Mrs. Zhu Shi is because they are afraid that these people will startle the snake and cause unnecessary influence.
Yuya Ubuyashiki received the cipher text from Asakusa half a day in advance, so she knew that something important must have happened for Taketori Tetsu to come overnight—otherwise, why would she suddenly give up her disguise as a milkman? ?
Sure enough, the two pieces of information that Taketori Che brought back were extremely valuable.
Mrs. Zhu Shi will not talk about it, but as a ghost, she got rid of Wu Mi's control and wholeheartedly wants to stab Wu Mi back. This is a situation I have never heard of and is a scientific research talent worth fighting for.And more importantly... the ghost king's information!
"Onimai Tsuji, have you really seen him? Shiina!" Yoya Ubuyashiki asked a little excitedly, "Are you sure that is Wuyou!"
"Yes, my lord. My 'type' made me hear a ghost calling him 'Master Wu Mi' in person. So on the way back, I have already drawn his appearance based on my memory."
Taketori Che casually told a little lie, not saying that he drew it according to the "hunting genealogy map", anyway, it is enough to draw it realistically, isn't it?
The emaciated leader of the Ghost Killing Squad took the scroll of portraits, and when he opened it, he gasped for breath.
Although he was drawing with charcoal, Taketori Che only had two or three strokes to outline the oppressive and evil temperament of Onimai Tsuji Mumi, especially his eyes, which symbolized a lot of blood and ominousness.
Just a black and white charcoal drawing is like this, how vicious must a real person be?
Ubuyashiki Yoya stared at the face on the portrait that was somewhat similar to his face before he got the curse, and suddenly understood how Taketori Che could distinguish the Oni King.
"Thank you for your hard work." He sighed and said, "As for Wu Mi's relationship with me..."
"My lord, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it." Taketori Cheru keenly noticed Yoya Ubuyashiki's sighs, and quickly stopped him.
In fact, I still really want to hear gossip...
Yoya Miyashiki smiled softly, with a soft voice: "Thank you for your concern, Shiina, but there is no need to hide anything. He was originally from our Miyashiki clan, in other words, he is of the same family as me .”
In the Heian era thousands of years ago, there was a young man from a prominent family who suffered from serious illness for many years.
One day after seeking treatment from many famous doctors to no avail, a doctor gave this young man a different prescription.
But the new drugs didn't work, and the young man was getting weaker and weaker by the day.He couldn't bear it anymore, and angrily killed the doctor who was still defending himself, claiming that the treatment course had not been fully completed.
Not long after the doctor died, the young man who was terminally ill became healthy day by day.
His strength has become stronger, his physique has improved, his eyesight has grown, and his speed has increased... At the same time, he can no longer step into the sun, and his desire for meals has changed from normal food to human.
Because from the very beginning, his treatment sessions were not complete.
The innocent doctor's new prescription is actually useful, but because of the execution of the doctor, the troubled doctor Onimai Tsuji Mumi will only become a dark creature for the next thousand years.
"The appearance of the ancestor of the ghost made our Ubuyashiki clan suffer a lot of curses, and those who died because of him passed on most of the grievances to our clan." Yoya Ubuyashiki lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, "We began to appear people The reduction of the number of children and the death of young children. Later, many adults could not live to be 30 years old. Everyone was panicked and didn't know what was going on. It wasn't until a priest guided us that we knew it was the crime of Onimai Tsuji. The crime has affected the whole family."
Taketori Che listened to the story very carefully, it was all important information, something he hadn't heard of in the previous two weeks.This time, if it didn't happen that he was the "Pillar" and brought the information about Wu Mi, I am afraid that Yoya Ubuyashiki would not have told him the whole secret.
"Fortunately, the priest also told me that if I want to get rid of the root of the curse, I must kill Wu Mi. But the only way to cure the symptoms but not the root cause is to intermarry with the priests who serve the gods, so as to continue the blood of the family. Otherwise, we would have died The family name was cut off a thousand years ago..."
Taketori Che suddenly realized: "So Mrs. Tianyin is from a priest family?"
"Yes, Shiina, you are right." Yoya Miyayashiki smiled unconsciously when talking about his wife, obviously loving his wife very much, "I met her on a blind date back then, and I will curse the family I told her all frankly and said that if she didn't want to get married, I would give up immediately. But Tianyin not only stayed, but also helped her through so many years of ups and downs. I am very grateful for that... "
The little girl blinked her eyes, envious of this loving couple.But this is all off-topic, Ubayashiki Yoya asked her to keep the story of the thousand-year entanglement between the Oni King and the Ubayashiki family a secret, and not tell outsiders.Because he was worried that the spread of this matter would shake the morale and morale of the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Squad.
——The Ghost Killing Squad insists on killing ghosts, not for the benefit of one family, but for the safety of thousands of ordinary people.
This is the original intention of Ubayashiki Yoya, and it is also the sin borne by the past generations of Ubayashiki.As long as they don't die for a day, they will cleanse this sin and pain from generation to generation.
Of course Taketori Che agreed, it's rare for his boss to trust him to say a few little secrets, so he can't just say something stupid like I just want to leak the secret, right?
"I have already ordered to go down and hold the 'Pillar Meeting' that was scheduled to be next month in advance. At the latest, the day after tomorrow, you will be able to see other pillars." Yuya Miyashiki comforted, "At that time, you will be required to attend the meeting. Is it possible to make an information explanation about Wu Mi?"
"No problem, my lord." Taketori nodded, and then asked a little anxiously, "Well... as for Mrs. Zhushi, will you agree to cooperate with him?"
Because she was the one who set the bridge for this matter, the girl hoped to succeed.
Yuya Ubuyashiki pondered for a moment, "Shiina, you know that many people in our ghost killing team have deep hatred for ghosts, including you."
"So, when you suggested to me to cooperate with ghosts to deal with Wu Mi, I was very surprised."
Taketori was a little embarrassed, but he insisted on explaining: "Ms. Zhushi is different from other ghosts, I can feel it. And under her guidance, Yushiro has never eaten anyone since he became a ghost due to critical illness." , just spending money to buy human blood to maintain life..."
Yuya Ubuyashiki nodded gently, "Yes, it is precisely because of its particularity and self-discipline, otherwise I would not have considered this matter seriously. For thousands of years, there has never been an oni who has escaped the control of the Oni King... Well, this matter should not be publicized for the time being. I will let Kanae the 'Style' Butterfly return to Asakusa overnight with you to deal with this matter. That child Kanae is very gentle to people and ghosts. This is a fact recognized by everyone. And she is one of the pillars with the highest level of scientific research among us. If even she approves of Mrs. Zhu Shi, then I have no other opinions."
After hearing this, Taketori Che was overjoyed. In the second week, the two sisters "Huazhu" and "Chongzhu" started scientific research cooperation with Mrs. Zhushi and made a lot of big news...
"Yes, I'm going to find Master Hua Zhu and go back together!"
"It's just hard work for you to run back and forth, Shiina."
"It's not hard, as long as you can defeat Wu Mi, you don't have to do anything hard!" Taketori Che grinned, and the little Huya looked a little playful under the light.
Seeing the retreating figure of the other party, Yoya Miyayashiki thoughtfully picked up the sketch on the table, opened it to look at it for a while, and tightly clenched the edge of the drawing paper with his fingers, as if to hold The key that symbolizes "change" in destiny.
"Wu Mi... Wu Mi! I have a hunch that the day to break the deadlock will not be too far away!"
