【Touken Ranbu】Construction of Socialist Honmaru

Chapter 1 1. Self-made Kenmoto Maru

Death is not something unacceptable.

But it was only when the rose-red blood surged in the water and the breath disappeared little by little, that I realized how strong my will to survive was.

I don't want to die.

The world below the surface of the water is sad and silent like another planet, Lu Guang's strange light and shadow are reflected in my pupils, and countless sea foam rises from around me, like a lonely curse.

The breath is disappearing.

The water choked into my throat, depriving me of the few oxygen outrageously and unreasonably, my body convulsed uncontrollably, and I presumably would turn into a floating corpse on the sea in a short time, swollen and white floating on the sea.Maybe seabirds will make me a nest, maybe giant sharks will eat me for dinner.

help me.

A small voice asked from the sky, "Are you willing to be a God judge?"

"You'll have it all back, for a small price."

"I would like to use this body to interrogate the gods."

The water seemed to be entering the lungs, and it only took 5 minutes to die from drowning. I struggled to hold my throat and spit out those three words with great effort.

"I am willing."

This is my only lifeline.

"Then, the contract is established." I heard someone answer.On the sea, quietly leave.

The endless seawater submerged me, I closed my eyes as I sank slowly, and the world of blood and water finally became silent.

"Master God Judge, Lord God Judge." Something was brushing back and forth on his face, Lin Mu skillfully pulled it into his arms and plucked his hair, the very tough guy didn't even open his eyes.

"Idru, let grandma sleep for a while," Lin Mu muttered to himself, the strength of his hands became more gentle, "Miaoxianbao is in the refrigerator..."

"Oh! Lord God Judge! Don't do it!" Someone on the quilt was struggling hard, and after a while it gradually became smaller, and there was a soft grunt in the air, "Oh...it can't be like this..."

"Miss Lin Mu, you should wake up." A calm male voice whispered in his ear, in stark contrast to the chattering noise.

If you provoke a dream in the morning, you will be kicked by a donkey! And it is a dream of a design dog!

Lin Mu reluctantly opened his eyes, but what caught his eyes was nothing but white and a man in a suit with a fox mask.

There was a small ball of glutinous rice cake like a fox piercing his abdomen, and his hand was shamelessly placed on the little fox's chubby buttocks.

Lin Mu rubbed it again as if nothing had happened, let go of the little fox and got off the bed.

Memories flooded in like a tide, Lin Mu leaned against the window sill, silently looking at the room and the masked man.

"You saved me?" Lin Mu lowered his tone when the situation was unclear.

"No, you saved yourself." The masked man replied with a calm voice.

[I would like to use this body to interrogate the gods. 】

That voice played back and forth in memory, Lin Mu asked after a moment of consideration, "I thought it was a joke?"

How can humans interrogate God?A big face is not such a big face.

As a good young man who grew up under the influence of socialism, Lin Mu has always believed in the existence of God. This person saved himself?So do you want to make a fortune, or take this opportunity to persuade yourself to join some cult?

"Master God Judge, this is not a joke." Xiaotuanzi Fox, who had been squatting obediently on the quilt, replied cheerfully, wagging his tail.

Fox can speak human language?Ventriloquism?Lin Mu looked at the masked man in surprise.

"It's 2205 now." The masked man signaled Foxnosuke to play the data, "Or do you think that death was just a joke?"

"You know it well." The masked man said softly, recalling Lin Mu's life.

I know.Indeed, the power that could save me under the circumstances at that time could never belong to the world of 2017.

Lin Mu was speechless, and walked to the bedside to watch the material played by Fox.The woman named Lin Mu had already died in the shipwreck in 2017, and there was no body left, and no one except the teacher gave condolences.

"It's really a life of failure." Lin Mu ran his hand across his photo, and the person in the photo pursed his lips and looked serious. It was his 20-year-old self, who just came out of a fledgling body and was bone-chilling.

"How is the teacher?" Lin Mu asked, "Where's my cat?"

"The living are passers-by, the dead are returnees, the heaven and the earth are going against each other, and the eternal sorrow is the same." The masked man straightened his cuffs, "They are all dead."

In the face of history, all the sufferings are worthless, individuals are meaningless, princes, generals, generals and common people are nothing more than a handful of loess after a hundred years.

"I know," Lin Mu sorted out his words and clenched his fists, "I want to know what happened to them afterwards."

"Your teacher adopted your cat," the masked man spat out four words, "Spend your old age peacefully."

"That's good..." Lin Mu suddenly burst into tears, she knelt down and covered her face, letting the tears run down her face, "That's good."

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Lin Mu was born as an orphan, and the warmth and coldness of people she has seen since she was a child is more common than drinking water. She wiped away her tears and looked up at the masked man, "If you have any requests, please tell me."

"Become a god judge." The masked man took out a document from his briefcase, and handed it a pamphlet to Lin Mu, "Sign your name, and Foxnosuke will teach you the rest."

Lin Mu tremblingly took the document and brochure and began to study it. She read it very carefully, word by word, and meticulously. This was her only bargaining chip for the rest of her life.

"The only thing that can be traced back is the sword..." Lin Mu smoothed the document, squatted on the ground powerlessly, "The worldview revealed in it is really shocking."

"You have no choice." The masked man stretched out his hand to pull her up, his finger bones were long and neat, "This is the price for your life."

"I see." Lin Mu tidied up her clothes and straightened her back. This is her habit. No matter what the situation is, she can't underestimate herself, "I will do well."

"Then let me guide the judge." The little fox who had been squatting on the quilt jumped onto her shoulder, "My name is Foxnosuke 4102."

4102.Is this meaningless gibberish, or does it mean that 4101 people have accepted the same fate before?Lin Mu walked out of the ward with the fox in his arms, and said something to himself at the door, "Why me?"

No one answered.The wind that passed through the curtains lifted the corner of her clothes, Lin Mu faltered, and left here without looking back.

From now on, don't ask about the future.

Foxnosuke took her to a quaint Japanese-style room.There are five exquisite swords placed horizontally on the wooden frame, with a cold light.

This is roughly the original knife mentioned in the brochure.Lin Mu put the little fox down and knelt down in front of the sword.

"Well, sir, please choose one." The little fox wagged his tail, "The first knife is California Qingguang..."

"No need to introduce." Lin Mu interrupted Fox's words, patted its head, "I've read the brochure."

"I choose Yamabuki Kirihiro." She pointed to the third knife, which was surprisingly beautiful, with lines as smooth as water.

The little fox blinked and jumped onto Lin Mu's lap, "Are you sure? You are not the best person to get along with Yamabuki Kunihiro in terms of personality alone."

"I'm sure."

Being good or not is not the most important thing.There are so many sweet swords in the world, but gray is more reassuring.

"Then please pour spiritual power into it to wake up the sword man." The little fox said.

The air was awkward for a moment.

Lin Mu moved his lips, trying to break the embarrassment, "I can't."

"Is it about the dantian?" Lin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I've never learned martial arts."

"No, no, no...how about putting your hand on the knife first?" The little fox had never seen such a situation before, "Well, I'm actually an apprentice fox."

Does that mean you are unreliable?Lin Mu sighed, feeling that her future was bleak... She casually put her hand on the knife, wondering if she should chant a spell such as Gunara, the God of Darkness or something.

A miracle happened.Something passed between the fingers, and the sword turned into a large cherry blossom, and a blond boy with blue eyes was revealed in the cherry blossom.

"I am Yamabagiri Kunihiro. I was forged based on the reliance of Ashikaga castle lord Nagao Kennaga. It is an imitation of Yamabagiri. However, I am not a fake. I am Kunihiro's number one masterpiece...!"

The boy told her that his eyes were as bright as the spring water in Bibotan in March.

Lin Mu's eyes were dazzled by the spring water in March, and her mood suddenly improved, "I'm Lin Mu."

Yamabuchi Kunihiro looked at her in surprise, then pulled the hood to cover himself, "You can't tell others your name!"

"Oh, Lord God Judge... this, this, this..." Fox Nosuke grabbed her leg nervously, "The real name is Taboo."

This was an afterthought... Lin Mu rubbed his forehead, "It's okay, anyway, I'm a poor man with nothing now."

She smiled at Yamabachi Kunihiro, "And exchanging names is a basic etiquette."

"You can't tell the gods by name." Yamabuchi Kunihiro made a muffled voice from his hood, "Don't tell others next time."

But you look like a boy of 17 or 8 years old.Such a child...is he also a god?Lin Mu shook his head, "Forget it, thank you for reminding me."

"Then I'll take you to Honmaru." The little fox climbed onto Lin Mu's shoulder quickly, "Your days as a god judge have begun."

Lin Mu agreed, and left the room according to Honosuke's instructions. This is a modern building, where countless men and women in professional attire work, some with masks, some without.There were also some girls dressed as witches or people in strange costumes coming and going. Lin Mu even saw a person with pointed ears like an elf.

Races vary.

So what are the selection criteria?Spiritual power?Lin Mu followed Foxnosuke without looking sideways, and secretly wrote down everything he saw.

After passing through a teleportation array, Foxosuke brought Lin Mu and Yamabuki Kunihiro to a vermilion gate.

"Here is your Honmaru." Fox Nosuke jumped off Lin Mu's shoulder, motioning her to open the door.

It would be a lie to say I'm not nervous.Lin Mu took a deep breath and pushed the door open forcefully.

……

The look almost didn't make her close the door and try again.

I don't know whether to describe it as miserable or dilapidated.Behind the door is a huge courtyard, which covers a large area and even has meandering water.Walking a few steps, you can see the mountains not far away. Backing the mountains and relying on the water was originally an excellent layout, but the grass and trees in this yard are withered, and there is a disturbing black air faintly entwined.

The house was originally supposed to be large and shaped like a mouth, but now more than half of it is twisted and broken, and only one arm of the building is still complete.The ground was broken and strewn with fragments of many swords, and the ground was stained with blood.

Lin Mu couldn't help but took a step back, Yamababa Kiri Kunihiro held her arm, and put the knife half out of its sheath across her chest.

The temperature belonging to another person made Lin Mu calm down a little. She leaned down and picked up Foxnosuke, "Is this for us to rebuild after the disaster?"

"I, I, I don't know..." Fox's tone was filled with tears.

Lin Mu didn't want to embarrass this little glutinous rice cake, she touched Fox's head, "Then can you contact your superiors for feedback?"

"Okay!" Foxnosuke nodded quickly, brought up a blue screen from the bell around his neck, and made a call.

After a while, a man in a suit wearing a fox mask appeared on the screen, as if he was the one who gave Lin Mu the file just now. He was sitting in the office, still wearing a neat suit.

"Maybe you can explain it?" Lin Mu picked up Foxnosuke and motioned him to look at the dilapidated place.

"That's right." A flat voice came from the opposite side.

"There is no way to live in this place." Lin Mu's voice also cooled down.

"You can turn it into a place where people can live." The masked man knocked on the table, "Let's consider it the first test, we will make certain considerations based on your performance."

It's like someone is playing the game of starvation, casually manipulating other people's lives.

It's really irritating.

Lin Mu suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked as calmly as possible, "There is no water, electricity, or food. I don't even know the range allowed for walking. Even if you want to consider me, you have to give me a big gift bag for beginners, right?"

"It is stated in the contract that the government will provide certain resources." She dug out the document, pointed to one of the items and emphasized, "If you break the contract now, then there is no need to think about it."

The man on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Then, as you said, give a newbie a big gift package."

The connection was cut off immediately.

Decades of good upbringing made Lin Mu restrain himself from swearing.A blue light suddenly flashed from the ruins, and Foxnosuke reminded her, "Maybe it's the gift pack for beginners."

Gadgets are a quick learner.Lin Mu rubbed its head, took Yamabasaki Kunihiro's hand and walked to the temporarily intact house.

There was no blood on the floor.Maybe it was originally used as a warehouse, but now there are a lot of charcoal and steel piled on it, as well as a few bags of grain and bedding.

"That's the whetstone and cooling material," explained Kunihiro Yamababa, next to her.

"Master God Judge can use these to forge swords." Foxnosuke added with a smile.

He also forges swords, and even eating is a problem.But the presence of charcoal represents fire, and if there is fire, at least you will not be hungry.Lin Mu checked and found that everything was still in place, sighed and rolled up his sleeves to start working.

"Che Guo." Lin Mu looked at Yamaba Kirihiro seriously.

"Ah."

"First of all, we need to see how many houses are still available, and then clean them up." Lin Mu patted him on the shoulder, "You are the only boy in the family, you may have to do some physical work, understand?"

"Understood." Yamabuchi Kunihiro replied in a low voice, "...this kind of work is just right for me."

So Lin Mu and Yamabuki Kirihiro led Shiji Fox to explore the ruins.

The kitchen and connected toilets are all good, and there is even water, Lin Mu is relieved, this is much better than expected.However, there is only one house that can live in, and the rest are the warehouse and a forge just now.

Let's say that although the sparrow is small and has all five internal organs, Lin Mu is having fun while suffering.

The number of Daomen keeps increasing, and now only Qieguo and himself are okay, how should we live when there are more people in the future.Lin Mu walked around the yard, observing the situation while thinking about his next plan. The plants, trees and flowers in the yard were basically dead, only a few camphor trees and persimmon trees were still alive.Maybe it was too shocking, but looking at these half-dead woods actually produced a little bit of comfort.

There are sword fragments everywhere in the yard, which is really not good for mental health... Lin Mu stopped and bent over to pick up a severed knife. There is no comparison at all.

What a pity.

"Qie Guo." Lin Mu knelt down and collected the pieces, "Collect them and dig a pit to bury them."

Yamabuchi Kunihiro himself is a sword, seeing this scene is even sadder than Lin Mu.He replied hoarsely, "Okay."

The two spent most of the time finding all the broken knives, and dug a small tomb in the corner of the yard.The cracked swords were stacked together, and Yamabuki Kunihiro even found "himself" among them.

He didn't tell Lin Mu, but buried the fragments silently.

In the end, Lin Mu found a wooden sign from the ruins and stuck it on it, and borrowed Yamabuki Kunihiro's knife to carve the word "Jianzhong" crookedly.

She and Yamabuki Kunihiro paid homage to the tomb twice seriously.

"Plant a cherry blossom tree on it in the future." Lin Mu said suddenly, patting the dust off his body.

Yamabagiri Kunihiro nodded vigorously.As a result, his cloak became even dirtier, but he didn't realize it.

"It doesn't matter." Lin Mu stretched out his hand to help him pat the floating dust off his body, "I am not as strong as you, and Qie Guo will never have to worry."

What are you worried about?The sun shone on Lin Mu's body, showing some fluffy light, Yamabuchi Kunihiro looked at the girl's brown eyes, and his heart suddenly moved.

"I am me." Kirihiro Yamabusa stretched out his hand to imitate Lin Mu's movements and wiped off the ashes on her body, "I will protect you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Yamababa Kiri Kunihiro immediately lowered his head to hide the smile, but the upward curve of the corner of his mouth could not be hidden.

In this afternoon he and his master became acquainted, and this was the beginning of a life.
