The end of the curtain

?Yuanzhi first year, [-] □ □ years, April——

The twilight is falling, and the last ray of the setting sun dyes the erratic flowing clouds with a layer of bright blood red. At this time, the ancient capital is filled with a strange atmosphere, and pedestrians are in a hurry.

Because Heian-kyo has been handed down since the Heian period 1000 years ago, it is a "moment of encountering magic" when the twilight sinks.

The so-called magic moment refers to the time when the yin and yang in the world are biased towards the cathode, and when the sun is not so strong, there will be ghosts hiding in the dark during the day awakening and disturbing the world with ghost power.But because the thousand-year-old ancient capital has always been guarded by the four gods who have formed an enchantment to suppress evil spirits for thousands of years, so ghosts are not so rampant.

And there is another magic moment, that is midnight.

After thousands of years of baptism in Kyoto, many innocent civilians died in vain due to wars, and evil spirits and resentful spirits were secretly generated.Even if all the ghosts and ghosts in the world are wiped out for a while, what will never disappear is the human heart that breeds evil and darkness.

Gloomy, the sky full of residual ashes.It is not necessarily the prosperity of the day, but it always feels gloomy and blurred after the sun sets.It's like a memory of a long time in the past, gradually disappearing from the original appearance, only the outline of the past can be vaguely discerned.

Looking at flowers in the fog, looking at flowers through the mirror.

It has been a long time since Xiaoxue and Jiazi left Kyoto last December to April now. It can be said that there is no news.According to my understanding of them, even if Xiaoxue and Jiazi had a bad memory, they would not forget to write back.

Then, not long after, Kako came back.However, I didn't see Xiaoxue's figure.And Jiazi actually asked me who Xiaoxue was.Then I did a checkup on her, Jiazi, there was a blow to the head, and the accumulated blood caused selective amnesia.

Selective amnesia... But Xiaoxue should also come back, she does have the ability to protect herself, Jingxin Zhiliu is not so easy to deal with.

I couldn't find any clues from Jiazi, and I felt more and more wrong, but there was nothing I could do.If I had followed them, at least I would have been able to know their situation.Although Xiaoxue is not my biological sister at all in my soul, but deep down, I can't help but care about her very much.When I was young, only our two sisters had the best relationship...I want...to find a chance and go to Osaka...

I was walking alone in the dark alley, and the setting sun gradually faded away the edge of everything.Not many people passed by, nodding their heads silently, and the scarlet color swept across from the side, leaving half of the silent shadow behind.

Woo~woo~~

A gust of cold wind blew gently as if avoiding something, and the degree of caution seemed to be testing something.

A few fallen flowers and leaves are remnant, dancing obliquely and windingly in mid-air.

Inexplicably, I began to feel throbbing in my heart again. This kind of feeling that I didn't have in modern times before, now clearly appeared again.It was an intuition that seemed to be born with a sense of danger.

--Danger?

"Little girl." An old voice suddenly sounded from behind, neither far nor near, with a faint ethereal.I turned around subconsciously, but when I looked back, I saw an old woman standing behind me with a sinister smile.There was an unstoppable smile between his brows and eyes, not out of good intentions, it always felt like it was due to excessive ecstasy.

"what……"

Half of the face is a dark shadow, looking at her I always have an indescribable weirdness.

I suppressed the turmoil in my heart, forced myself to calm down, and moved back a few steps without showing any traces. I smiled and said, "What's the matter?" Like ordinary people.The occasional inexplicable intuition told me horribly——she is a ghost!

"The little girl is so beautiful...and the spiritual power on her body is so strong..." The smile on the old woman's face gradually became treacherous, and the greedy look that could not be concealed before became more and more restored. Slowly stretched it towards my face, "□□Grandma likes you so much..."

I was frowning slightly and looking at the hand that stretched out to me, thinking whether to block it, but when the term "□□grandmother" came to my ears, I was suddenly startled-□□mother-in-law?Is it grandma?I know that it is a kind of ghost of Hyakki Yakari in the Heian period of Japan.It is said that □□grandmother likes to coax young girls to smear her face with a layer of white powder she made herself.Afterwards, the girl's entire face will fall off, and then the first grandma will claim it as her own.

The girl's fate was to die horribly with blood on her face!

Doctors are supposed to be atheists but...

Seems to have seen my intention to dodge, Grandma □□ no longer concealed her intentions, she was full of greed: "If I suck your spiritual power and take away your face, I will definitely be young again!" Stay forever...haha..."

"..." Only a fool would stand there stupidly! !I suddenly realized that there was no one around at this time, also, how could there be anyone now.I turned around and lifted up the obstructive skirt of my kimono and was about to run away, but my grandma was one step ahead of me and reached out and grabbed my sleeve, holding me tightly.

Damn women's kimonos are so troublesome, next time I must wear men's clothes!

— Let go, don't touch me! !

Damn women's kimonos are so troublesome, next time I must wear men's clothes!

— Let go, don't touch me! !

I felt disgust and resistance from the bottom of my heart, but I didn't like to call for help, I just tried hard to break free from the control of my grandma.But the strange thing is that I clearly don't have any panic or panic in my heart, but I just don't want to let my grandma get in touch.

...Kill her...Kill her...

This idea popped into my mind suddenly, and I was shocked.Why...why do I have the idea of ​​killing...even though she is a ghost, but...I don't want to kill at all, I am a doctor.The morality of a doctor is to save lives and heal the wounded, not to kill people at all...

I didn't think so much about me in my mind, and my body had already taken a step ahead, as if it was out of my control, and I reacted unexpectedly even myself.

After a brief trance, I subconsciously and quickly pulled out a dagger from my sleeve that I didn't even know where it came from.A backhand pierced through the wind fiercely, and the sharp dagger gleamed coldly under the reflection of the setting sun, stabbing at the first grandma almost invisible.

The moves are ruthless and deadly beyond my expectations, unambiguously precise without muddling, pointing directly at the heart and neck, all the moves are done in one go.

□□Grandma obviously didn't expect me to attack with a backhand. Although she was surprised, she quickly dodged away. She gave me a vicious look, snorted coldly, and flew out a green light with her hand , smashed the dagger in my hand viciously, and then flew towards me——

"Ah——!!!" An extremely miserable scream pierced the twilight sky suddenly, and the expression of the grandma in front of her became more and more hideous, and her expression was seriously distorted due to extreme pain, and finally Gradually turned into a green smoke, slowly dissipating.

Behind the diffuse smoke, I saw that tall figure with a cold and disdainful sneer from the corner of his lips. The handsome man was standing in the blood-colored sunset, and his blood-red eyes were so beautiful. It is soul-stirring, glowing with evil charm.

... Kazama, Chikage?

"Is the assassin of the Sakurai family only so capable?" He raised his chin haughtily, retracted the sword in his hand in a casual tone, and walked towards me slowly.

Chikage Kazama, how did he appear? □□Grandma, he... killed...

"Miss Sakurai, it's time for the contract to be fulfilled. It's time to serve the Kazama family." Chikage Kazama's voice came lazily, with an incomparable coldness, which made me even more baffled.What kind of contract, I don't know at all... "You have to figure it out for yourself—"

After all, Qianjing Kazama turned away gracefully, the golden clothes fluttered up and down in the wind of residual leaves, I saw the sweeping room with sleeves left, full of loneliness that no one could understand.

Although I didn't know why, I hesitated for a moment, but I still said: "...that... please wait a moment!" After a pause, there was no timidity or weakness.

His footsteps were slightly stagnant, and he didn't turn his head with his back to me. I couldn't see his expression—"Thank you very much." Even though he didn't turn his gaze to me, I still said softly said.

Then, the remaining leaves whirled all over the sky under the crimson twilight—until the people disappeared.
