It's getting light.
In the modern world, Gu Mo and the witch have already left the industrial area.
He didn't know that because of the information he revealed not long ago, Inuyasha asked about things related to Totosai, and Totosai also talked about the truth about the time when General Inu was backlashed by the demon sword, which also triggered Sesshomaru's desire. Thinking that there was a chance to obtain the whereabouts of Cong Yun Ya again, he began to pay attention to this magic sword.
In a sense, it can be regarded as one of the manifestations of the butterfly effect. His intrusion is taking effect, affecting the fate of the world bit by bit.
But even if he knew about it, Gu Mo probably wouldn't care too much... He also wouldn't stay in this world for a long time, and he didn't worry about Sesshomaru targeting him at all. After all, he had already thought about this possibility. It was something that I had already considered before going to get Cong Yunya.
Unless he never returns to the Warring States Period, never encounters a big dog, and never plans to use Cong Yun Ya, otherwise, it will be a matter of time before he is exposed.
And now he is not afraid of the big dog traveling through time and space to block him. Moreover, Totosai still doesn’t know the whereabouts of Cong Yunya. He, Mingga, Sheath and others only heard that Musashi Country has a well that can swallow monsters, so they also I don't understand the principle behind it, but when Cong Yunya has no one to control him, he still decides to throw the demon knife in.
Later, Cong Yunya indeed disappeared from the well, and I don’t know where he went. Even if Sesshomaru pressed him, Totosai would never tell him the whereabouts of Cong Yunya... because he really didn’t know. I know, even if I beat him to death, I wouldn't say anything.
After leaving the industrial area, we retraced our steps and returned to the shopping mall we had planned to visit earlier.
Although they had just killed a group of demons and demons that were ready to move, both of them acted as if nothing had happened and did not take what had just happened to their heart.
Kikyo's performance is a matter of course. She has shot and killed more demons and monsters. The monsters in the modern world are not as rampant as they were five hundred years ago, and the number of attacks is extremely limited. Even without using the best and most powerful magic weapon Arrows are not difficult for her.
As for Gu Mo... emmmmm, it doesn't provide enough experience, and the drops are still some useless skills and useless junk materials. Is there any reason for this wave of monster spawning to be worthy of him taking a second look? ? Sorry, that's the focus of creatures like players.
Walking in the shopping mall, the miko looked around with calm eyes at the various shops and the flow of people around her.
"It's still relatively early, and you've also heard what the previous driver said. The economy has not been very good in the past few years. Otherwise, there would probably be more people here... Of course, this mall can at least continue to open. , overall it’s pretty good.”
Gu Mo was walking beside her and explained so casually.
The witch nodded lightly without saying a word. She had already been amazed before. Now when she really walked into this place, she understood what the concept was like here - the spacious space, the bright lights, the circulating air, the overall atmosphere. It has a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere layout, as well as special stores selling a variety of rich products.
These were sights she had never seen before.
The counter was filled with glittering gold and silver jewelry, the store was filled with clothes of various styles, and there were restaurants in the distance, etc. These all made her beautiful eyes linger... This place really was An unimaginable place from the world view of a shrine maiden from the Warring States Period five hundred years ago.
Previously, what I saw when driving by was the macroscopic impression of modern cities, but now I understand the finer details, and I have a deeper impression of this era.
She turned her head and looked at a clothing store next to her. There were all kinds of beautiful and brightly colored clothes inside, but it felt a bit deserted. Not many people came and went... neither did Kikyo. He said he was excited or something, but just stared blankly, a little lost in thought.
She just didn't know how many times she had sighed in her heart. Maybe in this era, these are really common things that people are used to. People come and go and are too lazy to take a second look at them. However, in her own era, just this The clothes in the house may not be enough to attract the daimyo to send troops to rob them, and they would not hesitate to launch a war to seize the wealth.
How about as this person said, time is always moving forward, at least the future prospects are bright.
While she sighed softly, she finally felt somewhat comforted in her heart.
"Miss Miko, do you want to take a look at the clothes? Don't stand here, come in quickly." It was probably the miko who was looking at the clothes in the store, dazed, and was misunderstood by the salesperson in the store. The woman suddenly He walked out with a bright smile and started selling very enthusiastically.
"No, no need..."
Kikyo reacted, and when faced with the enthusiasm of the saleswoman, she took a small step back, a little overwhelmed, and softly refused.
"Would you like to buy some clothes?" Gu Mo was quite interested in this, "Maybe it would be better to change into this witch costume, at least it won't be so eye-catching."
"No need..." Kikyo shook her head, still resisting this, but her tone was more determined. Then she nodded slightly to the enthusiastic salesperson and walked forward without speaking, leaving only the disappointed latter behind her.
The saleswoman couldn't hide the look of disappointment on her face. It was the first time she saw such a stunning person, and her appearance was obviously that of a girl, but she also had an indescribable sense of stability and gentleness. Walking in a shopping mall, you can naturally attract attention from all directions.
She finally became interested in her own store. If she could get it in, she wouldn't have to actually buy the clothes, even just try them on a few times. As soon as she stepped into the store, there was a living billboard. There was nothing better than this. Very convincing...
And it would be even better if we could bring this little brother in together...
The salesperson looked at Gu Mo with resentful eyes, and found that the other person just shrugged, and quickly followed the miko in front, waving her sleeves without taking away a single cloud.
…………
"This is for buying daily necessities...don't you need it?"
"That's a cosmetics store over there, do you want to take a look?"
"It seems to be a movie theater there..."
The witch's way of shopping is quite special. Unlike ordinary girls, she has no desire to shop, nor does she wander back and forth in an area over and over again, comparing and contrasting, unable to make up her mind for a long time. I couldn't bear to leave just like that.
She just wanted to understand this era and had no desire to go shopping. Even Gu Mo was very enthusiastic about sales, but she always refused... She didn't need these things, so she just went shopping in a circle. After coming down, they browsed the entire mall, but the two of them still looked empty-handed.
It was past nine o'clock in the morning, and the two returned to the first floor of the mall.
Gu Mo was a little helpless, but this was expected, so he quickly cheered up and continued to ask: "Where are we going now? Is there anything else you want to see, Kikyo?" ?"
"This..." Kikyo showed obvious hesitation.
"How about I make the arrangements?" Gu Mo raised his hand and said enthusiastically. He quite liked the current rhythm. Anyway, he was not particularly eager to participate in the ups and downs of the Warring States Period. For the Jade of Four Souls I don’t think much about it, and it doesn’t matter even if I don’t go back.
Shaking her head gently, the miko spoke softly: "Let's talk about this later... Can you find a quiet place now? I have something to ask you."
Is it finally here...?
A flash of understanding flashed in Gu Mo's eyes, but he didn't think it was strange. Instead, he smiled and said, "Then let's find a quiet place to sit down?"
Kikyo nodded slightly.
Two minutes later.
In a cafe, sitting at a booth near the window, the miko looked around helplessly at her surroundings. Is this the quiet place this person was talking about? Although it is indeed quite quiet, there are relatively few people in the store, and the occasional customers sit far away, so they probably can't hear the sounds here.
However, Kikyo still felt unaccustomed to it, and she sighed softly. Perhaps this was also a characteristic of this era.
"What's wrong? If you don't like it, we can move to another place." Gu Mo held up the cup from the opposite side and took a sip of the hot coffee. After noticing the look on the witch's face, he put down the cup and said seriously.
"No, that's no problem..." Kikyo shook her head.
"That's good... By the way, can you drink something?" Gu Mo glanced at the cup on the table in front of the witch. He didn't know if the witch could accept the flavor of modern drinks, but compared with this, he suddenly remembered a more critical issue.
It seems that I have never seen Kikyo eating. Her current body must not have this function.
"Can."
Kikyo replied calmly, there is a difference between being able to do something and not being able to do something. She does not need to eat, but it does not mean that she cannot eat. There is no conflict between the two.
"That's good……"
Gu Mo nodded, then glanced out the window and asked casually: "So, Kikyo, what do you want to ask...about Naraku, about me, or about the future - I mean, the future relative to the Warring States Period? "
"As expected, you know Naraku..." The miko was not surprised, but just lowered her eyes.
"I know, the wild thief Ghost Spider you once rescued had evil intentions towards you. When you left the village with the Jade of Four Souls that day, his evil thoughts attracted many monsters and used his own The body and soul made a deal with the monsters, and finally merged with countless monsters to become a new monster... oh, I should say a half-demon."
Gu Mo thought seriously, recalled the clues and information he knew, and spoke one by one.
"Half-demon?"
Kikyo raised her eyebrows. There was no big difference between what this man said and what Feng said. The only thing he added at the end was something that needed attention.
"That's right, he's not a complete monster yet, he's still a half-monster... Even if his body is made up of many sprites and ghosts, it can't change this." The young man opposite continued to think and said slowly, "Ghost Spider His heart is still alive in his body, so fifty years have passed and he has not changed much."
Although he is an extremely vicious and evil villain, he did not become a difficult final boss from the beginning.
In fact, if the Four Souls Jade had not reappeared, Naraku would never have been able to rise, and he would have been like that for the rest of his life... Even if he relied on the power of the Four Souls Jade, he had spent a long time optimizing his body. After transformation, he finally grew to a particularly ferocious stage.
But having said that, if I take away some of the fragments of the Four Souls, wouldn't it mean that the Jade of the Four Souls will never be complete in this world?
This is the distance between the dimension and the universe. It is not like in the original plot. The so-called last fragment was taken away from the world by a big monster, and everyone can still chase it to the underworld to find it... It is true that as long as Gu Mo doesn't When I came back, the missing part of the Four Souls Jade was really gone.
If you think about it this way, maybe it is really impossible for Naraku to stand up this time?
"If you are a half-demon, you should lose your power one day every month..." Kikyo thought about this information, and said softly while considering its possibility and credibility.
"Half-demon does have such a weakness, but Naraku's situation is very special. He seems to be able to freely choose which day to become weak..."
Gu Mo thought hard and vaguely remembered some key information——
"Furthermore, half-demon loses all power and turns into a human on that day, but he is different. He will use that day to reorganize his body."
"Reorganize the body?"
"Yes, his body itself is made up of thousands of monsters. To put it nicely, it means that quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. To put it poorly, it means that a bunch of rabble barely has a leader, and the characteristics and abilities of different monsters are given to him. Different powers, but undoubtedly more conflicting properties and powers.”
So Naraku used the inevitable days of weakness every month to reorganize his body, combine the powerful parts of these monsters, discard the weak parts, and optimize the order over and over again to make himself stronger.
Kikyo frowned, and then stared at the person opposite: "So you know so clearly because, to you, this is something that has already happened?"
"In a sense, it is like this..."
"So everything you said is true?"
"What do you mean? But everything I said should be true. At least I didn't tell any lies in front of you." Gu Mo looked directly into the witch's eyes very calmly. He didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, he said His words and performance made the latter look away unnaturally.
"..."
"..."
Next, the air became a little quieter.
The miko lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, and she did not continue to ask any other questions. She did not know whether she was not curious about her future destiny, or whether she had already lost interest in everything.
Gu Mo raised the cup and took a sip, looked at her and asked tentatively: "What are you going to do next, are you going to deal with Naraku? If that's the case, I can provide a little help, but I'm not sure if that's the case. It works, this guy is very cunning..."
——The appearance must be a puppet substitute...
——Likes to play tricks and tricks to make others fight, while he reaps the benefits...
——Even in the later stages, when the power became particularly amazing, activities still mainly relied on remote control of clones and conspiracies...
Basically from the beginning to the end, the appearance rate of Naraku's body is really very few. Such an old and sinister person who is afraid of death is definitely a very qualified villain. Even Gu Mo, who is familiar with the plot, feels that it is a headache. He is like a tiger eating melons. , I feel like I don’t know where to start, and I don’t know where to start if I want to target it.
"..."
The witch shook her head slightly and remained silent.
Now she has basically confirmed what happened back then, but she has fallen into a deep confusion. She has rarely lost her sense of direction. She doesn't know what she should do, what else can be done... Can she kill Naraku again? No matter what, there is no way back to the past, and Higurashi Kagome's presence reminds her of this all the time.
The same goes for the Shikon Tama. The girl named Kagome is also collecting them and purifying them, perfectly replacing her own responsibilities...
The same goes for the village. He has been dead for fifty years, and the people he once knew have long since passed away. The village is no longer the village he protects, and he should not appear again...
Even my sister, who was a little girl back then, has now become an old man with chicken skin and gray hair. I failed to take good care of her back then. There is no point in going back now. It will only disturb her peaceful old age...
"What happened to them...actually it has nothing to do with me anymore. I'm just a person who died fifty years ago..."
These thoughts kept flashing in her thoughts. The witch lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a smile slowly appeared on her face that no one could see.
only……
Somewhat sad.
"If you really think so..." Gu Mo, who had been paying attention to Kikyo's appearance, tried to speak in a very soft tone, "Then you should have a freer soul than when you were alive, why not follow your own What if you want to live your life as you please?"
The witch looked up at him calmly.
Gu Mo didn't evade at all and looked at her very seriously.
"Kagome?"
"How will you be here?"
But at this moment, there was a sudden shouting sound outside, which seemed to be very shocked.
The two of them turned to look at the same time, and found three girls in sailor uniforms standing outside the window. When Kikyo turned to look, they looked at each other, as if confirming something, and then hurried away. Then within a few seconds, the glass door of the cafe was pushed open, and three girls walked in quickly from the outside.
Together they quickly came to the booth near the window, stood in the aisle and looked at the miko, chattering away to express their concern.
"Why did you come out today and didn't call us?"
"That's right, we are worried about you... By the way, how is your athlete's foot?"
"By the way, there is also the gout last time. Is it better now? It won't affect school. Everyone is worried about you."
"..."
"..."
Kikyo was slightly silent.
Gu Mo, who was opposite him, also silently raised his cup and took a sip. Then he put his elbows on the table, cupped his chin and looked out the window, letting out a long sigh.
I got the wrong person... But the appearance of the two is indeed too similar, but I can't imagine how Kikyo looks in school... Hey, wait...
