Sandwiched between the two masters, I am no longer a human being

Ayin traveled to the Taisho era and realized the first human truth.

Getting stronger comes at a price.

... Having said that, sacrificing the sense of taste is too ruthless. What kind of torture is this for the rabbits of the big foodie empire.

--No.You can't admit defeat, you have to follow the spider and show the backbone of a woman!

She bid farewell to Mrs. Zhu Shi, holding the token she gave herself in her hand, which was used to confirm her identity with the leader of the Ghost Killing Squad.

She stayed in Chiba County as a morgue for more than half a month, filled her food reserves to the brim, and before the doctor knew who stole the blood bag, she resigned to the dean .

"Really..." I knew from the dean's face, "Not many people are willing to do this job. I don't force it, so how about it, I will settle your salary, and then you can leave."

With tears in her eyes, A Yin shook hands with the dean vigorously.

In fact, she is willing, she really is willing!

If it wasn't for becoming stronger and living, who wouldn't want to stay here as a rice bug waiting to die!

After planning the itinerary, Ayin set off in plain clothes.

She didn't follow the shortcut route Zhu Shi had drawn for her, but took a few detours.

It is very far from Chiba County to the pick-up location of the ghost killing team. If you don't take transportation, it will probably take at least a month for the ghost's footsteps.

A Yin was not in a hurry to get on line with the Ghost Killing Squad.She is very clear that she is just out of the novice village, and she has the name of being a master, but the blood ghost technique cannot exert one percent of its effectiveness due to the suppression of the boss.

Once the Ghost Killing Squad found out her true identity, she was there to send it off.

Ayin didn't rush the schedule, she trekked across mountains and rivers, walked slowly and long distances, and specially rushed to the small towns and villages where there would be strange rumors. Generally speaking, such places are prone to breed curse spirits.

She is the Pokémon Trainer of the Taisho Era.

During the day, she huddled in the hotel, and specially chose to go on the road at night, stopping and going.

.........

Somewhere in a remote town.

The pale-skinned snow-haired girl stopped outside the hotel. This hotel has three floors, the first floor is the tavern, and the second floor is the place to stay.

As we all know, places like taverns have been places where information circulates since ancient times. If she wants to inquire about something, she will get more information from the boss.

A Yin walked into the tavern and ordered a few random dishes.

... Anyway, she can't eat human food, so she can only wrong herself.

After ordering, Ah Yin did not sit in her seat and wait, but walked to the counter and met the eyes of the proprietress who was doing the accounting.

"This guest..."

"Hush." ​​A Yin leaned on the desk, she lowered her voice, "I want to ask you something."

She took out a cloth bag and shook it, and there was the crisp sound of jingling coins inside.

There was a flash of understanding in the proprietress' eyes, and she also lowered her voice: "What do you want to know?"

"I heard on the way here that there is a village near this town. Is it haunted?"

"I knew you would ask this." The proprietress shook her head helplessly, she picked up the rag and continued to wipe the dusty desk, "you foreigners, most of the time you came here because of the rumors about us of."

Huh?

Ayin blinked in surprise, she put the cloth bag on the table, and asked curiously: "Apart from me, have any other foreigners been here?"

No wonder she was surprised. Although the Taisho era is the beginning of modern times, in some remote areas, there is no electricity or traffic, the terrain is closed, and there is basically no communication with the outside world. People's living habits are the same as they were a hundred years ago.

This small town is not to that extent, but as far as she can see, the town is located under a big mountain, and there are several mountains in front of it. The traffic situation is worrying, and it belongs to the kind where few foreigners are seen all year round. .

And the villages adjacent to the town are even more remote, with more than a dozen households in a village, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are few people.

She came to such a closed place for the purpose of subduing the curse spirit. After all, she heard the long-standing rumors here on the way.

Now the proprietress told her that not long before she came, there were other foreigners here?

A Yin's expression became subtle.

Excluding the tiny probability of passing by, the biggest possibility is that they also came with a specific purpose.

Think about the legend of this village being haunted by ghosts again. Damn, she won't run into the ghost killing team head-on, right?

A Yin lowered her head timidly, and she hurriedly asked: "The foreigners you mentioned, can you describe their appearance and clothing to me in detail?"

Luckily, the Ghost Slayer team all have uniform uniforms with obvious characteristics.

The proprietress turned her head and recalled for a moment, "Let's think about it... just two days ago, because these two people are out of tune with our town in terms of clothing and temperament, and they can be seen as foreigners at a glance."

The expression of the proprietress suddenly changed. She is actually not very old, only in her twenties. At this time, she is looking yearning, with bright stars shining in her eyes, and the expression of being immersed in a dream does not seem to be contrary to her. and.

Her tone was obviously a little excited, like a girl who couldn't wait to share gossip with her good sister, she couldn't help leaning into A Yin's ear, and said to her: "I dare to guarantee it with my six years of experience in running a tavern. These two outsiders are definitely young masters from a big family!"

"The two are equally handsome in appearance, but in fact each has its own merits. There is no doubt that the family background is superior."

"One of them has long white hair, um... the same hair color as you, little girl, wearing a white-blue bathrobe made of high-quality materials that are hard to change. It seems that there is a jade pendant on his waist. I can't understand the pattern on it, it's probably a status symbol."

"The strange thing is that this person obviously has a pretty jaw and lip shape, but he still uses a blindfold to cover the upper half of his face, so he can't see the whole picture. It's a pity."

"The other young man has black hair and a low ponytail on the back of his head. He is also wearing a bathrobe, but the color is darker and there are not many complicated patterns. It seems different."

"His eyes are also black, and he treats people very gently and politely. Compared with him, the one with white hair looks arrogant and alienated..."

Talking about excellent marriageable men seems to be an eternal topic for girls. Seeing that the proprietress can talk about it, Ayin smiled and gestured "stop".

Please, she really has no interest in how good-looking and high-quality these two young men from other places are.

After tentatively confirming that these two foreigners are probably not from the Ghost Slayer Squad, Ah Yin calmly breathed a sigh of relief, and the idea of ​​running away overnight was also dispelled.

A Yin changed the subject and began to ask about rumors of ghosts in nearby villages.

"Ah, that, I don't believe it's some kind of ghost." The proprietress didn't seem to care, she poured a cup of tea for herself and A Yin with a smile, "Compared with ghosts, I'd rather believe that it was heard by the gods The wishes of the people have come to fulfill their wishes."

The tea in the cup rippled, and the tea stems floated up and stood erect in the center of the tea.

"God?"

Ayin raised her eyes and repeated in an unpredictable tone.

"Yes. Because there was a murder in the nearby village half a year ago."

The proprietress floated in the memory, the smoke curled up, her face was hidden in it, it was hard to see clearly.

"The deceased was a couple. They had no children, and their material conditions were strangely favorable. Because of this, people in the village—including this small town—knew their names, and many people wanted to curry favor with them."

"But just six months ago, they died at home strangely. The police officers in the town went to investigate, and found out their basement vault. It was full of gold, and everyone was shocked. This is by no means The wealth that should appear in ordinary villagers, after the police officers handed over the gold, they also began to investigate deeply."

"In the end, guess what, this couple is actually related to the disappearance of children that shocked the whole city a few years ago. During that time, children disappeared every few months, and everyone was in danger. This case even in our place I have heard about it, and it is said that it has not been investigated for several years, and finally a clue was found in this couple."

"That's what they do. They hide in the village and use their own house as a hideout. Because the place is sparsely populated, most people don't come here, so they interact with people from the outside and sell the children they get..."

Speaking of this, the proprietress frowned in disgust, it was hard to imagine how there could be such a heartless person in this world.

"You also know that this couple is unforgivably sinful people. No one will show mercy to their death, but they are very happy."

A Yin keenly grasped the point, "Who killed this couple?"

"I don't know, no one knows who did it, and the police officers are helpless. It seems that the clues have been broken from the traces at the scene, and even the incision on the dead man's head... It doesn't look like it was done by humans."

"The villagers didn't believe that ordinary people would cause such a terrible scene, so rumors of ghosts gradually spread. And I would say that this should be a manifestation of the gods, and it is also because of this incident that they came to the world to punish evil and promote good."

After all, the proprietress sneered: "If this is really the work of a ghost, then this is simply a good ghost in the world."

"It's a pity that there are still a few people who have this kind of thinking. People are afraid of this kind of unknown, so the rumors spread more and more outrageous, and finally became a major feature of this place, specially attracting you foreigners who don't know the truth."

Not necessarily.

There are also foreigners who come here by staring at the "unknown".

After getting the information she wanted, A Yin cheerfully added money to the proprietress. She rested in the hotel, and when it got dark, she packed her luggage and went up the mountain road.
