Dark Fallen Honmaru Strange Talk [comprehensive]

The sunlight is fragmented by the leaves, and when it dazzles the eyes, it still makes people dizzy.

"The sun really came out early today..."

Complaining half-truthfully, Tsurumaru jumped down from the branch, and the leaves and bushes swayed and made a rustling sound.

"So," he said to himself, "where are we going today?"

After the god judge died, the spiritual power transferred to him was not enough to support the operation of the time-space converter, so naturally there was no way to talk about escaping to other eras.Not to mention that it is not only the government of time that can detect the fluctuations in time and space, but also those inspectors under the name of "historical inspection team".

The Honmaru was quickly seized by the Shizhi government, and the missing Sihua Taisao Tsurumaru Kuninaga from the Honmaru was also on the government's search list.However, the government's management has always been loose. Unable to leave this space-time gap, he wandered here for a long time without being found.

The gap between time and space is not small, but it is only that big in total.Tsurumaru, who has nothing to do all day long, even counted a total of 570 steps to walk from one end to the other—such an unchanging life is too boring for the thrill-seeking crane.

Tsurumaru chose a direction at random, then took two steps forward, and accidentally kicked something.

Hard to the touch yet wrapped in soft...cloth?Before he could see clearly, the black shadow had already flown out because of his movement, rolled twice in the air, and fell face down into the grass.

He blinked and walked over to pick it up.

"This one……"

Doll?

Tsurumaru Kuninaga looked at this small object with great interest. It was hidden among the weeds above his knees. If he hadn't accidentally kicked it, he really wouldn't have found it.

"That's amazing," he said to himself.

There was a light rain at night, and the soil in the forest was damp.However, this doll that was discarded here for some reason, except for the forehead and the corner of the clothes that hit the ground when it flew out before, the place that got the most mud on its body turned out to be the sole of the shoe.

He leaned over and brushed aside the grass.

The traces were not deep, and were diluted by the rain, but a few small footprints could still be vaguely recognized.

size……

Tsurumaru made a comparison.

Just like a puppet.

Interesting, he thought, he couldn't have come by himself, could he?

Although the footprints proved this point, the face of the puppet he held in his hand never moved at all.For that matter, was it that he couldn't move in the first place, didn't want to move, or... for some reason, couldn't move?

If it's the latter two, no matter which one it is, it seems to be very... interesting.

After staying here for so long, it was enough for Tsurumaru to remember the terrain clearly.If it is the vicinity and the direction of the footprints, the only thing that can be considered is the Honmaru.

He narrowed his golden eyes when he thought of the god judge he had met once before.

——What kind of surprises are waiting for him there?

"Didn't find it yet?"

Waking up early in the morning, seeing the dejected Awataguchi, Chisato Horiguchi asked, and as expected, he got a silent answer from them shaking their heads.

"I've searched everywhere I could." Yao Yan pulled on the glove and straightened the folds on it, "Sorry, General, I can't see any shadow at all."

"It's okay, I guessed it."

It would be a strange thing if something like this could be found casually, which was full of strange stories from the inside to the outside.

Horiguchi Chisato thought, if the doll hadn't happened to run into her room at that time and stood there straight as if waiting there specially, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to find at that time.

After dinner last night, everyone joined in the work of rummaging around in the Honmaru, and even cleaned up the place, but their target—that weird doll in kimono, just like The other two incidents, which were never seen again after being witnessed once, disappeared without a trace.

Its origins are also a complete mystery.

California Kiyomitsu said that Hasebe was once the permanent attendant of the former God Judge.Horiguchi Chisato also asked him if he had seen a doll similar to her description in Honmaru before.

Hasebe recalled it for a long time, and said uncertainly that he may have seen traditional dolls placed for decoration, but whether it is that one can only be confirmed by seeing the real thing.

——But the doll has been lost.

"very strange."

Goto ruffled his hair.

"Although it is said that it can run away on its own with long legs...but the main pill is so big, where can it run? Could it be that it ran outside?"

Chisato Horiguchi remembered what she had been interrupted before and could not finish speaking.

If it is true to her prediction, then something that "comes to life" like a doll should also be supported by her spiritual power.The farther away from this main pill, the thinner the spiritual power that can be sensed.Now there are two possibilities, either this conjecture was wrong from the beginning, or the puppet lacks spiritual power and cannot go far at all.

But how long the spiritual power can be used is also a question.Honmaru is located on the top of the mountain, and it is full of trees from top to bottom.If you are looking for a puppet that big in a large forest, then you have to find the Year of the Monkey, Horse and Moon?

So, Chisato Horiguchi made a decisive decision.

"Put the dolls in advance." She said, "We often have this kind of phenomenon, if you decide to give up looking for something you can't find, it won't take long before it will suddenly appear under your nose. "

Goto: "...Eh, why?"

Qianli just said it casually because he was too lazy to look for it again, and was stunned for a moment when he really asked the reason.

"It seems that there are some elves..." She thought seriously for a moment, "Took away the things as a prank, but later found out with conscience and sent them back."

She could still believe it when she was a child, but when she grew up, she knew that this was just a fairy tale for adults to lie to children.

Goto completely believed the explanation.

"So it is!" He suddenly realized.

Drug Research: "..."

Qianli: "..."

Something is aching in my chest, is it my conscience?

"In short, just find it here." She changed the topic, "If you have time, please pay attention. It's the best if you can't find it. It doesn't matter if you can't find it. If something happens, call someone over immediately. How many more people are there? It’s good to study the reason when you see it... But for now, let’s put the reconstruction of Honmaru first.”

"Yes, General."

"Is there anything the general wants to tell us?"

"No, anyway, everything needs to be repaired, you can figure it out, and do it little by little."

Hearing their response, Horiguchi Qianli said again: "Then you go, I will also go to see them repairing the roof."

It stands to reason that if the enchantment can be successfully opened, even if everything is not perfect and needs no repairs, it will not require a lot of labor like this.

There are more unknown supernatural events, maybe it should be like Fox Nosuke said, please ask the staff of the Toki Government to take a look?

Anyway, the swordsmith is coming soon, and the Government of Time will know when the time comes...

Undecided in her mind, she walked to the side without knowing it, and the "Ding Ding Bang Bang" sounded above her head.

"How about it?"

Chisato Horiguchi raised her head and asked.

"It's almost ready," she heard the sound of the candlestick cutting, "Fortunately, it didn't rain too much, otherwise it might really leak."

Qianli nodded, and then remembered that they couldn't see, and was about to say something when Hasebe called "Master".

He immediately climbed down the ladder.

She looked at Hasebe as if asking questions, and heard him say with a straight face: "I haven't asked before..."

"Master, who is the current servant?"

——This Honmaru is so small, and it is such a coincidence.

Following the sound of footsteps and seeing the person at the other end of the corridor, Horiguchi Chisato pointed to California Kiyomitsu who was walking over with a pile of books.

"Ah?" Seeing her finger pointing at him, California Qingguang asked blankly, "Why are you pointing at me?"

"Hasebe asked me about my valet."

Qianli recalled that he was not very willing to agree, "Didn't you say that before this kind of thing was done by Hasebu?"

"That's right, master," Hasebe was very moved when he heard this, "so please let me—"

"Eh—? So I said that?"

Hasebe: …………? ? ? ? ?

"Actually, I have found that being a servant is not as difficult as I imagined these days." California Qingguang raised the thick stack of books symbolically, "If the master has nothing else to say, I will go and write these first. Put it in the study."

Obvious refusal to cooperate.

Watching Kami Kiyomitsu leave, Horiguchi Chisato turned to Hasebe who had obviously suffered a huge blow.Although she understood that the other party was obliquely expressing that she wanted to be a servant, there was no way she could ask California Qingguang to take the initiative.

And he's actually doing pretty well.

"How about it, Hasebe." She thought for a while, and said, "I still have a task for you—I don't know much about the various materials left by Honmaru and the procedures of the Tokito Government. , can I give it to you?"

Late at night.

Hasebe picked up the cup next to him, suppressed the slightly rising sleepiness with strong tea, and continued to take the bound battle data on the right hand side, and recorded it on the form in front of him after summarizing.

This is a task specially entrusted to him by the master. Although there is no deadline, it must be completed as soon as possible.

The paper pages were flipping, and Hasebe confirmed that it was correct, and subconsciously touched the side——

Touched empty.

shouldn't be...

He thought, obviously there should be another one.

Hasebe thought for a while, and realized that maybe he left it in the office and didn't bring it.

There is only one book left to finish this part.

Getting up and walking to the door, he suddenly remembered the recent haunting of Honmaru.

... Never mind, the main life is important!

Holding the mentality of "life first", Hasebe bit the bullet and walked out.As a former valet, his room was not too far from the office.

Nothing unusual happened along the way, and he was gradually relieved.After entering the office, Hasebe also successfully found the volume of materials that he had left at the end of the bookshelf, and the date on it was just before the former interrogator left office.He took it down, his eyes were a little complicated for a moment, but he just stood there for a moment and walked back.

On the way from the office to his room, he had to pass through Tegaza. The moment Hasebe passed the door of Tegaza, his back froze.

The vigilance that was almost completely relaxed was at the same time as the alarm bells.

"Ha ha……"

He heard laughter from inside.

"Hee hee...hahahahaha..."

Laughter, which should be slightly comical, is terrifying because of the sound and the time and place of the moment.The voice was hoarse, as if it had been rough-sanded by rough sandpaper, but there was an invisible sharpness that pierced the eardrums.

"Who is there?"

Hasebe asked in a low voice, the laughter inside paused for a moment, and then rang out again as if no one else was there.

He stopped stretching his hand toward the door, remembering the preceptor's previous instructions.

But in the middle of the night, everyone else should be asleep, so who should he call?

Owner?Candlestick cut?California clear light?

What if they were called over and the voices were gone, as if he hadn't heard at all when he came—

Sure enough, let's confirm first...?

Master, Hasebe thought silently, give him strength.

He gritted his teeth and pushed open the door vigorously, and turned on the light without even looking inside the room.

With a sound of "snap", the lights flooded the huge hand field, Hasebe was startled, and found that there was no one inside.

The funny sound is still ringing.

Hasebe felt suspicious, he identified the direction of the voice, and walked towards the cabinet in the corner.

No, it wasn't the sound coming from the closet, it seemed to be further back, like from the wall——

He subconsciously looked at the gap between the back of the cabinet and the wall.

A pale woman's face was staring at him coldly.
