As we all know, winding zero is a human being

Zero originally thought that there was nothing in this life that could surprise him anymore, but the moment he opened his eyes, he was severely slapped in the face.

Clanking trams slowly pass by on the tracks in the middle of the street, and at dusk, electric street lights emit a warm yellow halo on the side of the street.

Okay, okay, science and technology are developing in the progressive world, jumping from the ancient times in the real sense to this alternate modern era, everything in front of him should not be said to be trendy, but it still makes him feel extremely novel.

The horn of the car blew several times behind him, and he turned his head and gave way out of the way.

The glass window on the side of the street also clearly reflected... his short figure everywhere.

"Isn't it too much this time?" Zero headache said, "I want to fix it quickly, so you can fix it for me?"

Something was wrong when he came out of the field of vision. It was difficult for him to assess his exact age from the strange attire reflected in the window glass.

The fusion of Japanese and Western styles seemed strange to Zero. Under the indigo coat was a standard white shirt that sold for nine pounds and fifteen pence, and over the coat was a sage gray haori , and actually stepped on a pair of black round-toed leather shoes.

The refreshing short hair is okay, where did he steal this student hat with a big brim?

Even the people walking on the road have such a wonderful mix and match style, and when they see him looking at him strangely, they will heartily raise... a kind smile.

Well, stop reminding him of the fact that he's a legal wife now.

[This time, the age of the host is randomly selected between ten and 15 years old, but the host finally got the lowest value, maybe it has something to do with mentality? ]

Is this blatantly calling him only three and a half years old?

He found a vacant seat at the booth of an open-air coffee shop on the street. The loose change in his pocket was enough for him to buy a glass of milk. He held this cup of warm milk and slowly drank it, sometimes sharply and without trace. Avoid the eyes of those around you:

"You said that as long as I have another good opinion, I can happily end the contract with you?"

[Uh, host, theoretically yes. ]

"Theoretically?"

[...You, the host, don't you think about staying? ]

The Zero Discovery System may have secretly learned the technique of stepping on mines from Tong Mo.

He still doesn't understand what this favorability is linked to, and how he can repair his body that is as empty as a sieve.

After living for so many years, Ling didn't even think about going back. Even in this situation, he has no choice.

Looking at the sinking night, Zero did not plan to stay longer on this open-air street. The neon lights lit up the high-rise buildings in the distance, and it was strange to put together the machiya and brick-and-mud bungalows that were the same as in Edo. And harmony.

Past and future are taking over.

Picking up a person who looked easy to fool by the side of the road, he realized that the land under his feet was indeed the predecessor of Edo, and the name after the name change made him suddenly enlightened.

The name Tokyo is not unfamiliar.

The glass of milk quickly ran out, and no matter how low-key he was at his age, it was always easy to arouse suspicion when he appeared alone on the street at night. The policeman on the street walked up to him and asked coaxingly: "Little guy, where are your parents?"

Zero raised his head and showed an honest smile: "How do I know this?"

"……what?"

The patrolman didn't expect to hear such an answer, so he was a little dumbfounded, and Zero was also worried. It was really difficult for him to deal with the situation now.

[Drip—the next strategy task target has been announced for you. ]

[Strategy objectives have been updated. ]

[Name: Ayaki Lei]

[Reminder: Insects fear entering carefully. ]

Zero maintained a smile and put the name down for the time being.

It's a joke, how he can survive in this situation is still a problem, so how can he care about this guy who is probably a ghost?Father love?

Tokyo at night is even more worthy of its name as the city that never sleeps in this era. Pedestrians are in a hurry, and even a few blond-haired, blue-eyed, high-nosed foreigners are mixed in, and there is nothing wrong with the style of painting.

After staring wide-eyed and small-eyed for a long time, the patrolman had no choice but to let him follow him, and while Ling was stroking his chin and thinking about whether there was social protection for widows and orphans in this period, he heard a voice coming from behind: "Ah, I found it! Why are you running around like this? ?”

Zero surprise turned around.

Has the system been so considerate this time to arrange a normal family relationship for him?

[...It is recommended that the host run quickly. ]

Oh, it's a human trafficker. Sure enough, the system is as hot as before, so it's fine.

The man wearing a traditional yukata haori hugged Zero involuntarily, rubbing him in his arms as if he didn't want him to talk.

Knocking his head on the cold chest that smelled faintly of blood, Zero's smile froze.

He said why there are so many children on the street, but he is the only one who dotes on him. It turns out that he was given a death multiple-choice question here at the beginning.

That's right, in such an era, the population density is already high, and there will be one, two, three, four, five... ghosts in Tokyo, it seems reasonable?

The patrolman looked at the man vigilantly: "Who are you to this child?"

Zero noticed that the arms holding him contracted unnaturally, supporting the man's shoulders, he seemed to see something golden and red out of the corner of his eye.

"Where have you been, Dad?"/"I'm the kid's uncle."

Two voices sounded at the same time, and the ghost holding him and the patrolman were stunned at the same time: "?"

What kind of thing are you playing that should cooperate with him?

Zero's forehead jumped a cross.

"Uncle, where did Dad go?" Nonchalantly using the voice of sweetness max to let the script follow the ghost's train of thought, Zero stared at the ghost heartbroken and still a little dazed, so he simply grabbed his collar.

The ghost finally came to his senses: "Ah, right now, right now I'll take you to find your father..."

It's okay, it's enough for us to take advantage of it once, and if we call him again, we will report it.

The patrolman in black uniform didn't seem to be so easy to fool, he dutifully questioned them again, and only let them go away suspiciously with Ling's unchanged smile.

The patrolman is a very conscientious and good patrolman, so don't get involved in this messy matter that is constantly being cut and messed up.

After leaving the crowd, the ghost simply stopped pretending. Even if Tokyo is prosperous, there are still a few dark alleys. The drainage pipes of high-rise buildings are arranged along the base of the wall, and water droplets slowly seep out of them.

The smile that was about to crack was a bit ugly.

"What a well-behaved little guy, it saved me a lot of trouble, and I'm not even willing to eat you..."

[Host don't pretend to be dead, why doesn't the host run away? ]

"This opening is a bit wrong. Isn't this going to delete the number and start over?"

[? ? ? ]

[Yes, there is another way, the host thinks twice, if none of the current target favorability reaches the target, there is no way to leave without pain. ]

"Any other way? What did you say?"

[That, the host, you understand. ]

Oh he doesn't understand.

Ling silently sniffed the stench of ghosts getting closer and closer to him, he casually thought that there is actually a way that anyone can think of to break this crisis.

It's just that he can't speak well.

If he succumbed to the status quo and called out the ancestor of ghosts, then what was he doing before.

It's too embarrassing.

Zero chatted happily with the system: "Besides, ordinary people still have a temper. I'm really not sure about the next time I meet with Ghost Dance Tsuji. Do you think he will want to kill me?" ah?"

[...What, the system really said that the host should try to keep as little contact with Tong Mo as possible? ]

"I was offended."

When the ghost saw that there was no sign of fear at all, it stopped within a short distance instead: "Hello? What's the matter with you little ghost?"

"Ah?" Zero suddenly came back to his senses, "You are busy, why are you not moving?"

ghost:"……?"

After thinking about the situation, it seemed that he really didn't respect the fruits of other people's labor. Zero cleared his throat, and went about his business in a moody manner: "Help——there is a ghost—eating people——"

Ghost: Even more strange.

It was you who asked him to respond, and now you are the one who feels uncomfortable when he yells.

Looking at the ghost with a distorted expression with zero dislike, he took two steps back speechlessly.

[Right, right, host, don't give up the treatment, run away now? ]

"Look at it."

[Eh? ]

Since there are ghosts in Tokyo...how could it not be the place where the Ghost Killing Squad focuses on patrolling?

And during the time when Zero was thinking and ran for a few steps with his short legs, the ghost really came to his senses, as if the script was finally normal and laughed grinningly: "It's too late to run now, even if you call your throat— —”

Ah, a famous scene and a famous line, and as we all know, as long as the villain says this line, the role of saving the scene is not far away.

Sure enough, he heard a sonorous and forceful voice coming with heat waves: "Breath of Flame · One Shape · Shiranui!"

That ghost was really good, or maybe the swordsman who came to the rescue was too strong—the golden-red hair color made Ling a little dazed, and the characteristics of the Purgatory were indeed recognizable and tenacious.

The swordsman of the Purgatory family, who just wiped out the ghost with one move, confidently did not look back at the corpse of the ghost that turned into ashes and disappeared: "Huh? You don't seem to be very scared! Boy!"

He doesn't look too young anymore, and the ones in the Ghost Killing Squad who can live to this age are from the purgatory family, and they are basically a pillar.

It's this cheerful personality, with such a big difference in appearance and age, who can give people the feeling of being friends. He can only say that he really deserves to be a swordsman from the Purgatory family...?

Well, in fact, he is not so young and naive anymore in his heart.

Ling looked up at him, and said slowly: "Ah, I'm too scared, and I don't have the strength."

The swordsman of the purgatory family stroked his hair heartily: "That's not right! Do you know me, young man?"

[Good guy, is the host waiting here?The host saw him on the street so he was sure he would intervene in this matter? ]

The swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Squad are always so sharp, but Zero really doesn't know him, so he doesn't feel guilty: "Why, I just think that someone will stand up when they see bad guys abducting children, right? "

"Sure enough, young man, you did it on purpose!" The swordsman of the purgatory family suddenly became serious, "Then why don't you tell the policeman the truth and ask for help?"

"Do you know that this man is a ghost?"
