I turned out to be beautiful and miserable?

It was completely rejected.

Kawakami Xingmu was a little bit disappointed, but he still adjusted his mood and said sincerely to Shitou Muichiro with a smile, "Okay, I understand. Shitou-kun's mission must work hard."

After that, he turned around and was about to leave, but Shitou Muichiro grabbed his wrist again, the palm of his hand holding the knife was covered with thick calluses, which didn't match the youth's exquisite appearance like a boudoir girl: "If you want together."

"Eh?" Although I don't know why Shitou Muichiro suddenly changed his mind, it was obviously a good result for Kawakami Xingmu: "That's really troublesome for you."

Shitou Muichiro shook his head, his face was still expressionless, his words were pitiful, and he stared at something in a daze after a while.

It was not until the evening of that day that Xingmu Kawakami understood the reason for his sudden change of mind——

Shitou Muichiro's next mission to slay ghosts is at a certain banquet in the town. Not to mention the strength of the ghosts that can sneak into the crowd, just sneaking into the banquet is not an easy task, especially Shitou Muichiro is still a The character that doesn't talk much with others at all.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." When Kawakami Xingmu looked over, his blue eyes remained unmoved, but he nodded slightly to himself.

Kawakami Xingmu, who is also not very good at communicating with people: "..."

Forget it, think about the good, at least there is a light in this place, so I won't be unable to see anything.

The place they were in was not a small town, and there were officials and samurai from the shogunate, as well as gorgeously dressed businessmen and ladies, and everyone was likely to attend the evening banquet.

Even if the rumors of cannibals made people panic, they couldn't refuse the extravagance of the night.

"Just knock out the guards and go in." After being rejected by the fourth person, Tomu Ichiro completely lost his patience. Even though his big eyes didn't fluctuate, Kawakami Xingmu could read a trace of disgust from it

——I knew I would not bring you here.

"You will be hunted down by the government, right? Everything should be kept low-key." Xingmu Kawakami smiled apologetically, but he didn't agree with this proposal.

"So you will be hunted down like this?" Shitou Wuichiro opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then whispered: "No wonder..."

"Huh?" Xingmu Kawakami vaguely guessed something, but asked again uncertainly.

"Nothing." Muichiro Tokito put his hand on the handle of the knife, shook his head lightly, and answered irrelevantly: "I didn't do anything to those who caused trouble."

Kawakami Xingmu: "..."

So in almost every city, have you been treated as a terrorist by the government because you are too high-profile to kill ghosts?

Although it is clear that being able to become a pillar is enough to explain Tokitomu Ichiro's strength, but I still can't help but worry about the child's ability to survive.

"Well, are you going to the banquet tonight?" A little boy carrying a flower basket stopped the two of them and asked timidly.

"Yes." Kawakami Xingmu, who has always been gentle to human beings, pursed his lips and smiled, bent down to look at him with his knees propped up, and said, "The sun is almost setting, little brother, you'd better go back quickly."

"My stepfather won't let me go back if I don't get the money." The little boy shook his head, bit his lower lip, struggled for a while, and then seemed to have made up his mind: "I have an invitation to a banquet, and I can sell it to you at a low price oh."

"How do you have such a thing?" Kawakami Xingmu frowned, this kind of thing should only be available to the upper class.

"Don't you think I stole it?" The little boy's eyes hidden under the brim of the hat were black and shiny, staring at Xingmu Kawakami and asked word by word.

"? Why do you think so?" Kawakami Xingmu tilted his head in doubt: "I don't know what happened, do I?"

How can jump to conclusions.

"I got it from a lady." The little boy seemed to be in a better mood, and even his voice became lighter: "Because the tailor was lazy, her dress hasn't been finished yet. So she decided not to go, so she gave this thing to me."

"So are you still willing to buy it?" After saying this, the little boy frowned again and asked cautiously.

"Of course." Kawakami Xingmu nodded, and generously took out his purse: "Go and have a good meal, and then go home. Remember not to give the money to Ji."

"Yeah." The little boy nodded vigorously, and then ran quickly on his short legs.

Kawakami Xingmu raised the invitation letter in Shitouichiro's hand: "We can go in together."

Shi Tou Wuichiro didn't have much empathy, but instead asked very seriously: "Is a piece of paper really worth that much money?"

He just saw that Kawakami Xingmu gave out almost all the money in his purse, and the remaining money should barely survive until the Zhu meeting, right?

"Because we may never meet again in the future, I want to help him as much as possible." Kawakami Xingmu shrugged, his smile was as gentle as a spring breeze.

But Xing Mu didn't think so, he himself was yelling at the system incomprehensibly: [Yes, it's just a piece of paper, why do you have to give so much! 】

The system was very happy to see the stingy host bleeding profusely, every code was full of joy, so it didn't answer Xing Mu's words.

——Anyway, this is not Xingmu's money in essence.

Shi Tou Wuichiro couldn't understand it very much. From the expression on his delicate and beautiful face, it is not difficult to see that he has regarded Kawakami Xingmu as a different kind: "We help him get rid of ghosts, and they should give him money, right?"

"Hmm..." Kawakami Xingmu didn't know how to explain this. After all, there have always been only a few people who know about the existence of ghosts. The ghost killing team has been silently guarding in the dark for thousands of years. "It will be difficult to explain. , Anyway, money is useless to me, so why not leave it to those who need it more.”

He was doing tasks almost every day, and he always ate very cheap rice balls.As for his family... He was abandoned by his parents since he was a child, and he has never thought of looking for them, so he doesn't need to leave it for them.

"Okay." Shitou Muichiro still didn't understand very well, but he was too lazy to argue with others, and finally nodded slightly to show that he understood Xingmu Kawakami's thoughts.

-

Finding a hidden ghost in the banquet is not too difficult, the real difficult job is to protect these people who may be hurt by ghosts at any time.

In today's society, except for samurai, everyone else is not allowed to carry a knife. Kawakami Xingmu hid the knife in the banquet hall before the banquet officially started, and then both of them changed their uniforms and left. go in.

This is a very purposeful banquet. The businessmen looked at the high-level government officials with bright eyes. The romantic young man swept the ladies present to decide the next target, and the ladies hoped to find a rich family. Sir.

The two teenagers who have been on the front line of killing ghosts all year round have never seen such an occasion. They took the fruit wine brought by the waiter at a loss, then quietly hid in the corner and looked at the group of people.

It's a pity that their demeanor and appearance are far superior to others, and they are destined to be unable to keep a low profile. After a while, Xingmu Chuankami received many invitations to dance.Shitou Wuichiro's side was even more exaggerated, almost surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

Simply because the coldness on his face was too threatening to prevent him from being dragged away.

The moon was gradually hidden by the clouds, and the banquet gradually reached its climax. The faces of the people who had drunk three rounds were flushed, and they completely took off their "upper class" identities and entangled together.

For a moment, Xingmu Kawakami couldn't tell whether they were humans or ghosts.

But he reacted quickly, picked up the knife hidden under the tablecloth, looked at Shitou Ichiro vigilantly and said, "It's a blood ghost technique."

Although this group of people is definitely not a good person, their behavior will never be so exaggerated, so this is the only possible reason.

"Can you tell where the ghost is?" Tokitomuichiro drew out the knife smoothly, and frowned slightly.

Kawakami Xingmu shook his head, "I can only feel it in this banquet hall."

"Then let's find them separately." After throwing this sentence, Shitou Wuichiro was about to run to the other side, but was stopped by Kawakami Xingmu.

"No, someone has to protect these people."

Shitou Muichiro looked at him and didn't speak, but Kawakami Xingmu still received the message he wanted to convey - I don't want to.

"Okay, I understand." Kawakami Xingmu sighed softly, and walked towards the crowd: "Leave me to protect them, and Mr. Shitou must find the ghost as soon as possible."

I couldn't feel it when I was far away, but once I got close to the crowd, Xingmu Chuankami felt uncomfortable.

Apart from the actions of these people like primitive people, what is even more exaggerated is that he clearly felt the breath of ghosts, as if covering everyone.

Cold and ominous, he didn't like it at all.

Just as he was about to go further inside to search for clues, Xingmu Kawakami saw a tentacle stretching towards a girl from a distance, and he immediately accelerated his pace and chopped down the thing.

After the sticky and disgusting tentacles fell to the ground, they thumped twice unwillingly.

Immediately afterwards, such tentacles appeared behind everyone, and the sticky tentacles quickly wrapped around their bodies, ready to engulf them.

Although Kawakami Xingmu, who had killed so many ghosts, would not be frightened by this scene, he still had goosebumps all over his body. He adjusted his breathing, moved faster, and chopped off all the tentacles almost instantly.

"Ghost hunter?" A sharp voice came, obviously excited: "I can claim credit from that adult after eating you!"

Then a ghost just jumped out from behind the curtain - no wonder it couldn't be found just now, its body was so pitifully small that it was easily hidden in the crowd.

Just as Kawakami Xingmu was about to use the breathing method, the circuit in the banquet hall, which was ignored by careless workers, suddenly short-circuited, and then fell into darkness.

It's very dark here, there is no moonlight, Kawakami Xingmu... can't see anything.
