As we all know, winding zero is a human being

The newspapers on the bright side may not publish the words that cannot escape a feudal superstition, except for the supernatural section, although in the tacit understanding of insiders, they know that it is a real thing.

The streets and towns of Yoshihara seem to have been closed for rectification because of the unspeakable incidents that happened there, and there are orthodox and serious public servants walking around it every day.

As time went on, there was an endless stream of literati and poets who came here to collect their fame, and under the promotion of caring people, the laws and regulations were also introduced, and they did not stir up any splashes in a low-key manner.

But this has nothing to do with Zero, who is smiling and thinking about where to go for a drink. He can see the business-like expressions of the girls, and now he is a little angry, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

The most basic guarantees and rights make them seem to have gotten rid of the identity of commodities.

But what's the use if you can't get out of the vermilion door?

The ruins destroyed in the battle were bulldozed and new houses were rebuilt. Three days after Yoshiwara was unsealed, this street returned to its former prosperity as expected by everyone.

Some people left, some people came in, and saw the oiran walking on the oiran road from a distance, leaning against an old welcoming willow, shaking his head, feeling that the new oiran didn't even look like the fallen concubine at that time. Nothing compares.

Didn't you see that he didn't even bother to give one more adjective?

The night time passed quickly in this small street, the bustling camouflage faded away, and the streets in the second half of the night revealed their true colors.

The pitch-black streets and the winding pavilions are like a monster that is opening its mouth to choose someone to eat.

After playing around, Zero couldn't find the reason why he turned a corner and came to Yoshiwara suddenly. He deviated from the main road and listened to the unusually clear voice in his ears. The banks of the Rashomon River.

On the one hand, it is really chaotic here so that there is no fun but only desires, and secondly, Taro and Xiaomei, the prostitutes who want to get rid of their origins, were born here.

Just mentioning this name in front of the two of them will make them angry, and they will go back and forth. Even though they have lived in Yoshiwara Koko in Edo for a long time, it is right that Zero is actually very unfamiliar with this place.

His figure is very inconspicuous among the guests who will come here to have fun, and the lazy Jian Shifan is very sloppy, so I advise him that if he is just curious, he doesn't have to go inside .

This is considered a good intention, so Zero nodded to show that he heard it.

It's just that he still felt that he had to come here, so he didn't stop because of it.

Zero's silent state combined with such behavior made Jian Shifan feel bored, and soon some guests chatted and opened the curtain and came out, which means that at least there is an extra seat inside .

And in the expected gaze of Jian Seban, who was ready to watch a good show, a thin arm that looked paler than him stretched out and grabbed Zero's sleeve.

Maybe that's why the town near the city wall is called the Rashomon Riverbank?

The washed and whitish kimono can still see the bright color before it fades, the black hair is messy and even the bun has not been combed, and the cheap cosmetics make her look a little too white.

One click, two clicks, no tugging.

He raised his eyes to meet the wandering girl in the room.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"If there is nothing else, is it okay to let go?" Zero asked kindly.

However, his reminder seemed to make the atmosphere a bit more awkward, and You Nu suddenly let go of her hand and closed the curtain, and then she cursed in a low voice in her hometown's slang after separating the sights that could meet.

The voice was so piercing that when he walked to the base of the wall and encountered idlers who didn't know what they were doing in a dark corner, Zero had no intention of probing, and walked along the long city wall. go.

This is the most common thing on the banks of the Rashomon River that is not worth paying attention to. After seeing these things, I casually say that what the prostitute Taro and Xiaomei said is really good, and there is really no need to understand these things.

Huh?Why did he suddenly think of the prostitute Taro and Xiaomei again?Is it because of the familiar voice of the little girl in front of you?

The arm was hugged again, how could the troublesome one become him.

However, when Ling lowered his head in the dim environment and saw the pair of incomparably beautiful golden eyes and long white hair, he stood still as if he was stuck.

The thin girl looks like she is only 12 years old, and this is indeed the age when she became a ghost. She is not as glamorous as she was when she was a fallen princess, but she is also amazingly beautiful.

So... Does this mean that the prostitute Taro died, but Xiaomei survived?

Zero didn't know whether it would be better for the brothers and sisters to accept the current situation, presumably caused by the prostitute Taro, or it would be kinder for them to be together.

Even now, Xiaomei who saw him was still pale and gritted her teeth without saying a word. She heard the sound of falling to the ground with a plop behind her, and then she saw Zero and slowly pushed the knife back into its sheath.

The bright blade seemed to stimulate her memory, Xiaomei opened her mouth, and big teardrops fell from her eyes one by one.

Zero lowered his head and raised his hand to take it, his eyes were fixed on the warm water mark, so he didn't speak.

Her body was still trembling, Xiaomei finally cried out as if she couldn't help it, and when she cried, she cried loudly, and she threw herself into Ling's arms out of breath, so she didn't notice his strange state at all.

After she pulled Ling's finger in one direction, she seemed not quite sure if it was there, and looked at a loss and panic:

"elder brother……"

With a confused mind, Xiaomei seemed to want to drag him to find someone, so he had no choice but to squat down.

"The prostitute Taro is dead." Zero held Xiaomei's face and looked directly at her, "He is really dead, dead forever."

And you are alive.

"Is it because of the drug from the Demon Slayer Squad that it hindered the prostitute Taro?" Zero asked with a slight smile, "I don't mean to blame you, I just want to understand..."

Just hearing his first sentence, Xiaomei's eyes suddenly widened, and the sudden movement of struggling was not incomprehensible.

And breaking free from his arms, she looked confused and frightened: "Who are you...?"

"Oh?" Ling didn't pay attention to her small movements, and just touched the top of her head once and for all like before. He didn't quite understand the meaning of Xiaomei's question, but it didn't mean that he wouldn't raise those bad words. Thoughts.

He slowly reached out and raised Xiaomei's chin, "Who do you think I am?"

However, Xiaomei was really stunned by his scare. She seemed to understand that she was going elsewhere, and a look of panic gradually appeared in her eyes.

After racking her brains and thinking, Xiaomei took a step back, trying to make herself look more obedient: "...My lord?"

zero:"?"

Although everyone knows that the ancestor of the ghost has a lot of mimics and vests, but it is not necessary to mimic him.

He was a little puzzled, did Xiaomei's brain become more difficult after turning back into a human...?

A bit of a comedian's confusion is something that has never appeared on Oni Wu Tsuji, and when Xiaomei realizes this, she feels that her guess is extremely funny.

But she didn't have the energy to get angry at all, instead she whimpered and cried louder.

She didn't know why she was crying like this tonight, obviously she didn't cry when she saw the prostitute Taro turned into ashes and scattered in the starry night, and she didn't cry when she was alone to avoid the follow-up search of the Ghost Slayer Squad.

"do not Cry."

Zero frowned and didn't know why he just felt panicked, so he wanted to wipe Xiaomei's tears.

Just as she stretched out her hand, she was opened by the girl. Xiaomei was so out of breath from crying, she simply sat down on the ground after opening his hand.

This little temper is really troublesome. Who got used to her?

Oh, it's him and the hooker Taro, that's all right.

After the war, Yoshiya escaped from one of the Winding Lands, and the Ghost Slayer Squad also arranged for members to lurk there to search, so from time to time, Zero soon heard the sound of neat footsteps approaching here.

And the leader of the team is no surprise, he is currently mainly in charge of guiding the team members in terms of medication and pharmaceutical preparations.

But Die Die Ren was a little surprised to see him here, she laid her hand to prevent the swordsman following her from moving forward, she looked at Xiaomei's performance as if she had been bullied by someone, and asked in a subtle tone: "This is the Was it the Winding Land that we turned back into humans during the battle?"

Xiaomei looked up at Butterfly Shinobu with tears in her eyes, maybe because of Zero by her side, she didn't care much about being found by them after hiding in Yoshihara for so long.

And being stared at with such a complicated expression by the little girl who looks only 12 years old, Butterfly Shinobu also found that what the sister and the lord said before are also being fulfilled one by one.

Zero stared at Die Die Ren for a while, and he didn't need to answer the question he asked knowingly before: "The task of encircling and suppressing Shangxian Land has been successfully completed. If one of their brothers and sisters dies, the other will not eat people anymore. You are still in Yoshihara. You are preparing Kill them all?"

Butterfly couldn't bear to feel that his expression was not right, she put her hand on the scabbard: "How can this be said to be exterminated? Mr. Zero, even if she becomes a human being, she can no longer hurt others. Need to take her to-"

However, before she could finish her sentence, the change in the wind made Die Ninja shrink her pupils and wanted to draw the sword, and Ling Zhongzhong, who appeared beside her in the next moment, grabbed her wrist and pressed the special Japanese wheel knife firmly. went back.

Butterfly couldn't break free or retreat at such a close distance. She subconsciously stopped the movements of the swordsmen behind her, because she didn't seem to notice the murderous intent.

Glancing at the black eyes so close that he couldn't see his own figure, Die Die Ren felt that he was angry.

With a very delicate mind, she soon seemed to think of something, and Die Ren suddenly raised her head and asked in a persuasive tone: "Is there any relationship between the brothers and sisters of Shangxianzhilu and Mr. Zero? But why does it seem that you just took this child?" Did you bully cry?"

"……Bully?"

Zero seemed to hesitate for a moment.

What Die Die wanted was this momentary pause, and she took out the needle tube hidden in the waist bag under the white feather, and she poked the needle tube towards Zero's exposed neck on the other side with her backhand.

Even though he reacted quickly and pulled the distance away, the liquid in the needle tube still shot in one third of the way.

Zero crushed the needle tube expressionlessly: "Do you know that doing this will be very troublesome...?"

But Die Nin shook his head: "It seems to me that you haven't figured out what happened, Mr. Zero."

Although it was a pity in her heart, she said in her heart that it was enough to only type in so much, and her original intention was not to accept all of Ling and Xiaomei here.

Under the improvement of Butterfly Ninja and Miss Zhushi, the effect of the medicine developed very quickly. The heart was slowly contracting to push the liquid to all the limbs, and Zero immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

He didn't know how he returned to Xiaomei's side in the trance-like pace, and when he saw the clear nostalgia in the eyes of the girl who was looking at him, he only felt as if something was broken.

Zero squatted down and hugged her thin shoulders, and when he looked up again, his eyes were all red: "...The prostitute Taro is dead?"

Xiaomei's eyes also turned red, but when she heard the name again, she still felt that half of her soul had been taken away.

And looking at this, Xiao Mei Ling felt distressed and stuck a word in her throat and couldn't say it anymore.

So what kind of thing was that bastard earlier? Can it be released?
