Yiqi Yizhen stood outside and knocked on the door.

"come in."

The voice of the judge sounded.

The door opened and closed, and the figure of the man appeared before the eyes of the judge.His eyes are like the purest amber, and his short hair, which is as blue as the sky, is as gentle and docile as his gentle and courteous demeanor——the only four-flowered sword in this pill, once it is turned into a human being True to his name, he is a gentleman who is rarely seen once in a lifetime.

"I have something important to discuss with you."

"Is it about your brother?"

The nonchalant and straightforward tone of the judge made Yiqi Yizhen's humble eyes appear momentarily in a daze.

"……Yes."

He looked a little hesitant, but his tone was very firm when he spoke.

"Brothers can't stand the frequent expeditions recently, please make another decision."

"That's a task arranged by the government."

"but--"

His respect for the lord made him speechless.

——But the tasks completed by the swords recently have far exceeded the quota stipulated by the government.

"I have a lot of things I want to buy, so what if I don't do more. However, if you love my brother so much," the god judge closed the book in his hand, "it's not that I can't think about it."

Phase [-] raised his head in surprise, but fell silent when he met the undisguised malice in the eyes of the examiner.

"Now, I have a task in my hands."

She spoke very slowly, a little hoarse because of the slight excitement in her mouth: "It is more difficult than before, but the corresponding bounty is much, much higher."

"There is no sword equipment, no reinforcements. You will replace your younger brother. If you can complete this task alone, I can give your younger brothers a vacation at their own discretion. How about it, one strike at a time?"

He pursed his lips for a while.

"—if you can come back."

"I see," he finally said, "please leave it to me."

The screams blurred by the distance pierced the eardrums.

Wraiths walking between platforms, trapped in a corner of the city, can feel much more than this.She sat there day and night, watching countless sun rises and sunsets.

She saw the dust particles refracted when the first ray of sunlight passed through the air in the morning, and heard the slight tremor of the railroad tracks when the tram was approaching. Since the daily routine that was repeated day after day was nothing but numb, she naturally began to tend to those smaller changes.This is the source of her spiritual power, and also the key to her sharper hearing than ordinary people.

A few days after arriving in Honmaru, Chisato Horiguchi, who was not used to resting but had to adapt to the changes in her body, had always slept lightly, and her sleeping position was also unusually quiet.

That scream seemed too abrupt in the quiet night.

"What..." His eyelashes trembled slightly, and Chisato Horiguchi opened his eyes, "That voice..."

Her hand stretched out from the bed shrank back suddenly when it came into contact with the freezing temperature outside.

It's cold at night, was she so afraid of the cold before?

Thinking of this, Qianli wrapped the quilt up to his neck into a tight ball, and moved little by little to the side of the paper sliding door.

She hooked the pull bolt with one finger and unlocked it. With the light "click, click" sound of the paper door, she saw the black figure standing in the outer room.

Horiguchi Chisato raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You really haven't slept all this time, have you?"

California Qingguang turned his head when he heard the sound of the door opening inside. He was dressed neatly in the battle uniform. Although it was covered by darkness, there was generally no trace of confusion.The red and black uniforms usually look dazzling, but now they blend into the night.

The two did not originally live in the same room separated by paper sliding doors, but after the mysterious disappearance of the sword in Honmaru, Kiyomitsu and Foxanosuke learned that there were other fusangshen who had fallen into Honmaru wandering nearby. , they changed their minds one after another.Qianli has an indifferent attitude towards this, and since they asked for it, let them go.

"Sleep."

California Qingguang casually pointed at the corner.

"There."

Feelings sit and sleep?

Qianli was about to ask if there was a quilt, but when she saw the fur curled up on the neatly folded quilt, she couldn't help but dumbfounded. help.

"It's a good thing, otherwise we wouldn't be able to act so quickly." He looked in the direction of the voice, "There are other people in this pill."

"I don't need to say this kind of thing."

She reached out and closed the door again.

California Qingguang was taken aback, "What's wrong?"

"Do you want me to arrange my clothes in front of you?"

California Qingguang's ears felt hot, and before he turned his head and coughed, the other party's voice came through the wooden door wrapped in Japanese paper rather meaninglessly.

"It's rare for a guest to come. It's too impolite to greet you without packing up."

——Not necessarily a guest.

She also slept with her clothes on at first, and she always maintained the same sleeping appearance, the clothes were just wrinkled at the hem.Stretching the corners of his clothes, Horiguchi Chisato flicked his hair to make sure they were still as smooth as before falling asleep.

She thought about the hints of California Qingguang Tiantian, and he hinted to her that her spiritual power might have inadvertently affected this Honmaru.

Chisato Horiguchi didn't feel the truth, she controlled this inexplicable power and always let them grow freely.

But if it is true as he said, and if you think about it, the lost sword may not have been stolen, but ran away with its own legs-this is a very interesting guess.

"I remember this direction."

They walked through the corridor, and the two of them had quite the same opinion, but they also hesitated at the T-corner.

"For the first time, I feel that it's too bad that it's so big here."

"What a coincidence," Chisato Horiguchi rolled her eyes and turned around directly, "I thought so when I knew I had to clean up by myself."

California Qingguang looked suspiciously at the direction she chose, "Right?"

"intuition."

No, Qianli thought, in fact, it was chosen at random.

The darkness spread endlessly ahead, and the strap of the flashlight dangled from Chisato Horiguchi's hand.She brought this just in case, she has no plan to open it now, which is equivalent to directly exposing her position to the "enemy" who is still in the dark.

In the darkness where you can't see your fingers, you can only hear their deliberately low footsteps.

Is there really anyone?

Maybe it was just an inexplicable hallucination of the two of them?

But what hallucinations can make two people live at the same time?

The corridor is coming to an end, Chisato Horiguchi was thinking this, and took a step towards the wall to turn around.

Abrupt mutation.

A slight wind brushed against her face, and the person hiding in the darkness found an opportunity to stab her.

With a "ding", the weapons collided.

California Kiyomitsu sensed a change in the nick of time, and the unsheathed knife stably supported the Wakizawa who had been hacked in the dark.The two vibrating knives trembled under the contest of their respective strengths.

The subject who was almost attacked stood still, motionless.

This position is indeed hanging, the back of California Qingguang's knife is almost close to her cheek.Horiguchi Chisato glanced at the blade that exudes a threatening cold from the slightest point of view, and sighed.

"Really..."

She hooked the sling with her fingers, touched the button along the barrel, and said in an almost bored tone.

"I'm tired of seeing such unexpected attacks in my dreams and hallucinations."

Pushing down the button with a "click", the battery was connected to the circuit, Horiguchi Sensato turned his wrist, and directly shone on the face of the guy who attacked her.

"Well……!"

The man took a step back subconsciously after being dazzled by the strong light. When California Qingguang saw his face, he was momentarily stunned, but still took this opportunity to push upwards vigorously.Qianli also saw that it was a young man with a long ponytail. Before he was about to let go of the knife, he desperately grasped it, and forcibly took the three moves of California Qingguang.

But obviously, California Qingguang still has the upper hand.

Footsteps sounded in the distance.

"Cattail!"

Someone yelled in a low voice.

"Cattail," the name—

Chisato Horiguchi subconsciously wanted to shine in the direction of the person coming, and something like a wooden stick hit her wrist hard. When she let go of it in pain, the flashlight rolled to the ground.She then realized that it was the scabbard that had been used to attack her, because she heard the sound of the sword being unsheathed immediately, and there was a sting in the right cheek - the blade brushed her face and penetrated the wall.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhates a totally unrelated thought-the next wall has to be repaired again.

The flashlight lay there quietly, and when the person in front of her passed by the light, only the firm and shiny leather shoes and well-muscled calves covered with blue-black stockings were seen.

"...medicine research."

Horiguchi Chisato realized that it belonged to the boy who was just called "Natsuo" in a completely unfamiliar voice.He was already breathing unsteadily, and after a forcible fight, his voice was also panting.

The back of her left hand rubbed against the other cheek, stained with wet liquid.Qianli stared at the dark color on the back of his hand, licked it with the tip of his tongue, and tasted the salty rusty smell.

...The smell of blood will give her the illusion that she is still alive.

Natsuo, Yaken, and Chisato Horiguchi remembered the names Honosuke mentioned, and they were undoubtedly Natsuo Toshiro and Yaken Toshiro, the lost Wakizashi and the dagger.

"Qing Mitsu," Yaken Toshiro said in a low voice, "I don't ask you to join us, but don't hinder our actions."

If the lights are a little brighter now, you can see the coldness on California Qingguang's face.

"What if I tell you what I said?"
