"I'll be right away." Zhang Fan hurriedly climbed out of bed, quickly packed his clothes, and ran out of the room.
He put on his shoes at the door and followed the sound in the direction of Mieko Oda.
People in Fuso Country have a habit, that is, they generally like to take off their shoes before entering the house and place them at the door.
Since it was after 5 o'clock in the morning, the sky outside was not completely bright yet.
Arriving at the courtyard, Zhang Fan saw Mieko Oda waiting for him at the door.
"How did you sleep last night?" Mieko Oda looked at Zhang Fan with a smile.
At this time, she looked particularly happy, as if something happy had happened to her.
"It's okay, I just have a little head pain." Zhang Fan shook his head and explained helplessly.
He went to bed too late last night and woke up so early in the morning. As a result, he was in poor spirits, his brain was groggy, and he felt dizzy.
He was very tired and sleepy, and he wanted to get back into bed to catch up on his sleep. However, when he thought that Shirai's last wish had not yet been fulfilled, Zhang Fan had no choice but to cheer up and grit his teeth. He planned to wait a day or two to return to the wealthy palace. , and catch up on your sleep.
Now, all I can do is endure it.
"You must have not slept well. After meeting the old man, you can come back to catch up on your sleep."
Since talking to Zhang Fan last night, Oda Mieko's heart has been opened up. Now just looking at Zhang Fan, she feels happy from the bottom of her heart and really wants to stay with him from now on.
"I have fulfilled Shirai's last wish, and I have to go back. To be honest, this time I came to your Fuso Country, I did not come alone. I came with a friend for a trip, and I have to go home then."
Zhang Fan sighed and said truthfully.
"Then...okay." After hearing this, Mieko Oda's eyes dimmed a lot, and her expression became sluggish.
She didn't want Zhang Fan to leave.
...
Follow Mieko Oda out of the courtyard gate and onto the street.
At this time, the street outside was deserted, without a single pedestrian. The surrounding environment was deathly silent, and there was no light at all.
Perhaps this town is too remote, and there is not even a street light in the nearby streets.
"Are you sure that under such circumstances, the old man can still come out to exercise?" Zhang Fan asked with a bitter look on his face as his mouth twitched.
"Yes? Why not? What this old man specializes in is reverse contrast. Let me tell you the truth, last summer, when it was raining heavily, he would hold an umbrella and come out to exercise." Mieko Oda explained in a dumbfounded way.
Listening to her story, a picture emerged in Zhang Fan's mind.
That was an old man with a strong body and ligated muscles. He was wearing a black Kungfu training suit. He was practicing Kung Fu on the dark streets with a steady pace and domineering attitude. For example, he was squatting on horseback, doing somersaults, and then doing a kick. What kind of "Eighteen Palms for Subduing the Dragon"...
Well, this old man should still have a bald head, wearing black sunglasses on his face, a snow-white beard on his chin, and a lecherous look.
Ahem, I was thinking too much and accidentally thought of Kame Sennin in Dragon Ball.
"Fanjun, why are you giggling?" Mieko Oda turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone and took a photo of Zhang Fan's face. Seeing that he was smiling weirdly, she couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing, nothing, I just remembered a joke." Zhang Fan came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly.
"Let's go, look at the time, the old man should be out soon."
"His home is right in front."
After finishing her words, Oda Mieko quickened her pace and led Zhang Fan over.
In less than ten minutes, they finally arrived at the door of the old house.
"Waiting, he should be out in about ten seconds." Mieko Oda looked at the time and realized that the time was about to come, so she reminded in a low voice.
"Uh... good guy, is there a time limit for this?" Zhang Fan was stunned, feeling too... flashy.
"Okay, okay, he's coming out, 3...2...1...is coming out." Mieko Oda shouted softly.
After she finished reciting the last number, the door of the quaint old house opened with a creak.
Seeing this, Zhang Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Is Kame Sennin finally coming out?
The door opened, and a stooped, limping old man stumbled out.
The old man was wearing a loose white coat. His face was old, his skin was dry, and it was covered with wrinkles like dead branches. His hair was sparse, with only a few scattered hairs. In addition, he made a six-point gesture with his left hand and a seven-point gesture with his right hand. , his eyes are slanted, his mouth is crooked, and his lips are dripping with laughter. At first glance, he looks like a typical stroke patient.
Zhang Fan: "???"
Is this the healthy, healthy old man you call?
Are you kidding me?
Judging from the appearance of this old man, he must have had a stroke for many years.
"Did we find the wrong person..." Zhang Fan asked Oda Mieko with his eyes widened and his head stiff.
"No, it's this old man. Even though he appears to have suffered a stroke, he is actually very healthy." Mieko Oda said seriously.
"Your eyes... I feel a little sick..." Zhang Fan twitched the corners of his mouth and whispered.
"I like you." Mieko Oda pondered for a while and said.
Zhang Fan: "!!!"
.......
"You stand here and don't move around. I'll go up and buy you an orange... Ahem, I'll go over and ask."
Zhang Fan was speechless and almost recited a certain paragraph from Mr. Zhu Ziqing's back.
However, even if it is said out loud, it should be okay. Mieko Oda probably has never learned the back view, so she may not understand what this joke means.
Zhang Fan let out a breath of turbid air trapped in his chest, walked forward slowly, and stopped in front of the old man who had suffered a stroke.
"Home...Hello, old gentleman, I want to ask you about someone." Zhang Fan said with a smile.
"Who are you... asking about?"
Although the old man who had suffered a stroke had suffered a stroke, his speech was unambiguous and very smooth.
"Do you know a woman named Shirai?"
Zhang Fan lowered his voice and asked. But after asking this question, his brows wrinkled unnaturally, and then his body subconsciously took a few steps back, keeping a few steps away from the other party.
Just because he smelled a strong smell of feces from the other party's body, as if he hadn't taken a shower for a long time, and it was so disgusting that he felt sick.
Is this old man living alone now? !
"Shirai?"
After hearing this name, the old man's expression suddenly changed, and then he began to cough violently, and the ticking cough flowed down the crooked corners of his mouth, and was contaminated by the wind.
For example, he was very sensitive to the name Shirai, and the moment Zhang Fan said it, he became extremely excited.
"She...she is...my sister. What are you asking her for...?" The old man breathed heavily, and more and more saliva flowed from his mouth, and he was excited. ask.
"I am her friend." Zhang Fan replied.
"She... has been dead for eighty-three years. How can you... be her... friend?" The old man's sparse brows suddenly wrinkled, and they were already open. The mouth with bare teeth asked.
"Um...I'm actually an onmyoji. I've seen Shirai's ghost. She asked me to come to you." Zhang Fan curled his lips and explained.
In Fusang Kingdom, there is no such thing as Taoist priests, so those who catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits are generally onmyojis.
The previous Shumei Muraki was an Onmyoji.
"Are you... an Onmyoji?"
Although the old man speaks smoothly, he still has some leaks when speaking, so his voice is intermittent and he always gasps for breath.
"Yes." Zhang Fan nodded.
"Prove it to me." The old man's face was gloomy. It was obvious that he did not believe Zhang Fan's words and wanted him to prove it to him.
Hearing the sound, Zhang Fan sighed and shook his head bitterly.
In fact, at this time, the so-called proof has no meaning. It would be better to summon Shirai directly and let the siblings meet in person.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan glanced back at Oda Mieko, and then turned his head. Without any hesitation, he directly opened the ghost frame and summoned Shirai.
Since he had rested for a night, his current survivor's blood volume had almost completely recovered, and he could finally summon Shirai to appear normally.
Following a burst of spatial distortion, Shirai appeared in a red dress and slowly stood up from the ground.
"Sisters, I'm here to help you fulfill your last wish. Look, is this old man your brother?" Zhang Fan said with a smile.
Shirai heard the sound and turned his head slightly to look at the old man. When he saw his appearance, his body couldn't help but stiffen, and then he began to tremble uncontrollably.
Obviously, at this time, she had recognized her brother, and her heart was full of excitement.
"Boy, where is your proof...?"
The old man could not see Shirai's appearance because he was just an ordinary old man and did not have the power to see the supernatural directly.
Even if Shirai was standing face to face in front of him, he wouldn't be able to see it.
At most, I feel that the surrounding ambient temperature is much colder.
"Don't worry, I have summoned Shirai, and she is next to you now." Zhang Fan first glanced at Shirai, then returned his eyes to the old man, and explained with a wry smile.
"What did you say?"
Hearing this, the old man felt goosebumps all over his body, and even his scalp became numb.
That year, after her sister died, she turned into a terrible ghost and killed many people.
Even at the back, the onmyoji of Fuso Kingdom couldn't do anything to her.
Even if the heartless man ran to a distant city, he would not escape death. Her sister would find him and kill the whole family.
At that time, when his sister had an accident, he was still very young, and a lot of information was told by his parents.
After so many years, he never expected that his sister would still be lingering in the world.
"I don't believe it..." The old man shook his head and did not choose to believe Zhang Fan's words.
He had not met his sister Shirai, and it was difficult to convince him just based on the words of the young boy in front of him.
"You mean you want to see it with your own eyes? I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it and may have nightmares at night."
"Forget it, I've wasted a lot of time. Since you want to see it, I'll show you as much as you want." Zhang Fan sighed, looked at Shirai, and said, "Sisters, your brother wants to see you so much, so just Let him see enough."
"You two, brother and sister, have a good reunion. If you have anything on your mind, just tell us. We will go back after your last wish is fulfilled."
After saying this, Zhang Fan turned around and walked towards Oda Mieko, taking her some distance away.
The last thing he wants to see now is this touching scene of a happy reunion. If he sees it too much, he will easily feel uncomfortable. He is afraid that he will not be able to help but miss his parents.
So, let’s just stop watching it.
Apart from these, Zhang Fan is actually worried about another problem.
He was worried that after Shirai met his brother, he would have the idea of regaining his freedom like Master Hachisha.
Although Zhang Fan would agree to Shirai's idea of regaining his freedom, he still hoped that Shirai could stay by his side to help him.
After all, it is so convenient for Shirai to kill people. He can just tell her name to whomever he wants to kill. No matter how far away the enemy is from him, he can kill him remotely even across the continent of South America.
"I really didn't expect that you could even subdue a terrifying ghost like Shirai. You are so powerful." After walking away, Oda Mieko looked at Zhang Fan with admiration and said in surprise.
"It's okay, it's not that great. When you participate in more maze scenes in the future, there will be all kinds of ghosts and monsters. As the saying goes, as long as you are brave... No... As long as you work hard, there will always be bread and milk." Zhang Fan took out the mineral water from the system backpack and took a sip, and said seriously.
"You are so lucky. I am not as lucky as you. I am chased everywhere by ghosts every time." The admiration in Oda Mieko's eyes became more intense, as if she swayed at this moment, She became Zhang Fan's little crush.
There seemed to be light in her eyes, and the light was so dazzling that Zhang Fan couldn't open his eyes.
Moreover, the light is filled with densely packed Venus.
This scene made the corners of Zhang Fan's mouth twitch even more.
Dede, after I return to China, Gao Luo will never come to Fusang again.
Your hungry eyes, your wild desire, really want to eat me alive.
Why do I have a feeling that you did something indescribable to me after I fell asleep last night?
Shouldn't...
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan hurriedly ran to the corner. When Mieko Oda wasn't paying attention to him, he took off his pants and took a closer look. He found that there was nothing strange about a certain part, and he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
It seemed that I was overthinking it, as my little brother didn't show any signs of being very excited.
"Yaoyao, this Miezi didn't do anything evil to me last night, right?" However, just to be on the safe side, Zhang Fan casually asked Yaoyao.
"Why are you plotting evil against you? Do you think you are some kind of sweetheart? You think too highly of yourself." Sai Yao sneered again and again, and once again ridiculed Zhang Fan.
"If you say that, I feel relieved."
Zhang Fan smiled awkwardly and did not continue.
...
I don't know how long it took, but when the time came to about 6:35, Shirai floated back strangely. She stood beside Zhang Fan and fell into silence.
"Sisters, has your last wish been fulfilled?" Zhang Fan asked tentatively.
When asked, Shirai did not speak or nod. She did not respond to Zhang Fan's inquiry.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Fan let out a long sigh and had no choice but to take Shirai back into the ghost frame.
But after taking her back, Zhang Fan selected Shirai's information and looked at it. He saw that her other information had not changed at all, except that the amount of blood lost during the appearance had changed from 60 points a minute before to 20 now. point.
A full reduction of 40 points.
In other words, her last wish was indeed fulfilled.
So cool, so cool.
Shirai's current appearance consumes 20 blood points per minute, which means that Zhang Fan can summon her to fight for a long time.
"Fanjun, why are you giggling again?" Mieko Oda came from a distance and looked confused when she saw the smile on the corner of Zhang Fan's mouth.
"What is a silly smile? This is a happy smile."
"Okay, Shirai's last wish has finally been fulfilled. It's almost time for me to leave. Anyway, thanks to your help this time." Zhang Fan took a deep breath and began to say his final farewell to Mieko Oda.
"Ah? Are you leaving?"
"But we finally met, can't you treat her a few more days before leaving? I still want to take you around." Mieko Oda was extremely disappointed.
"Let's wait until later. I will come over to play with you when I have time. This time I really have to leave." Zhang Fan waved his hand helplessly.
"But it's so far away, how are you going to come here? How are you going to come to me..." Mieko Oda asked anxiously with red and swollen eyes. Before she finished speaking, she threw herself into Zhang Fan's arms without warning. inside.
"Forehead......"
Zhang Fan had nowhere to put his hands and was extremely speechless.
Am I really that attractive that you like me so much?
Oh, what a sin, what a sin!
Zhang Fan had a severe headache.
To be honest, he really had no idea about Mieko Oda.
Perhaps, Sai Yao should be allowed to use the power of charm to erase her memory.
"I actually have a ghost that can teleport over long distances." Zhang Fan explained.
"I don't believe it." Mieko Oda shook her head.
"believe or not."
Zhang Fan sighed.
In this way, Oda Mieko held Zhang Fan for a long time before letting him go and said: "Since you have to leave anyway, I also know that I can't keep you, so I specially prepared some gifts for you. You can give them to me." Take it with you as a token of my love for you." Mieko Oda wiped away her tears, and after saying this, she ran towards her home without looking back, as if she was going to get something for Zhang Fan. Prepared gifts.
A few minutes later, Oda Mieko ran out holding a box of [Wagashi]-[Note: pastries].
But when she arrived at the location just now, she was stunned on the spot. She saw that the area was completely empty, and Zhang Fan had long since disappeared.
"Wow!"
There was a crash, and the pastry in Oda Mieko's hand fell to the floor. The next second, she fell to her knees with tears streaming down her face, sobbing bitterly.
The gift she carefully prepared was not given out after all.
Zhang Fan left, and he left without even saying his final farewell.
"Can I still see you? Can I still see you?" Mieko Oda murmured bitterly, as if all her strength had been drained from her body, as if she was lost.
After an unknown amount of time, Oda Mieko stood up staggeringly, carefully picked up the wagashi scattered on the floor, and put them back into the box.
"We will definitely meet again. When I settle... my family affairs, I will go to China to find you..."
Oda Mieko's eyes gradually became firm, as if she had made some determination.
"But when she was about to turn around and go home, she inadvertently glanced at the ground and saw a long black incense stick stuck in the ground.
"What... is this?" Oda Mieko bent down and picked up the black incense. After observing it for a while, she couldn't tell what it was. With a slight thought, she put it back into the system backpack to check the information.
As a message popped up, information about this long black incense also appeared - [Ghost incense, from the second level scene of the Hell Demon Palace, a one-time amulet. Once lit, it can forcefully summon gods once, and then summon the underworld. Scary ghosts from the underworld come to help, and the effect lasts for one minute. 】
...
7:22 am.
Zhang Fan finally returned to the hotel where Liu Keke and the others were staying.
Lying on the bed, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she ran very fast just now and just missed coming back. Looking at Oda Mieko's posture, she really wanted to eat her alive.
In fact, Zhang Fan felt more sympathy and guilt for Mieko Oda. As for the so-called love, it did not exist at all.
There is absolutely no possibility or possibility between him and Mieko Oda.
If you stay with her all the time, it will only harm her and do her no good.
If nothing else happens, this farewell to Mieko Oda will be the last time the two of them see each other.
Zhang Fan won't be able to use the amulet Guixiang for the time being. He already has Wang Ye, so he should leave it to Mieko Oda for praying to the gods.
Out of the relationship between friends, Zhang Fan thought about it and left the ghost fragrance to her as a way to repay her help.
This time, Zhang Fan rushed back to the hotel from Mieko Oda's hometown, and bought a health-restoring amulet from the system mall.
Of course, this amulet is only one-time use. After use, it can restore all blood volume, which cost Zhang Fan nearly 30 points.
"Take a nap for a while. I'm so sleepy. I didn't sleep well last night."
Zhang Fan lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes, intending to catch up on some sleep.
only......
Not long after he closed his eyes, suddenly, there was an inexplicable knock on the door, and then, the voices of Liu Keke and others shouted into the room from outside.
"Zhang Fan, open the door quickly? Are you back now?" Liu Keke shouted.
"Hey Wocao, I'm so convinced. I just lay down." Zhang Fan cursed and reluctantly got up, got down with a bitter look on his face, and opened the door.
But the moment the door opened, the four Liu Keke girls rushed in and squeezed in.
"What's going on with you kid? We just called you and you didn't say anything for a long time. What on earth did you do?"
Wang Xiaoqian frowned and shouted cursingly.
"I didn't do anything. I've been sleeping in the house. I slept very hard last night, so I didn't hear you calling me." Zhang Fan made up an excuse without blushing.
"You said you slept in the house all night? Why don't I believe it?" Wang Xiaoqian looked at Zhang Fan's face with a strange expression, as if she had seen something that surprised her.
"Yes, I'm just sleeping." Zhang Fan pursed his lips and explained.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you sleep in your room all night, then what the hell is that lipstick mark on your forehead?"
"Okay, you are so unruly. You stayed up in the middle of the night and went to the custom shop below to find a girl..."
Wang Xiaoqian seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes widened a bit.
Zhang Fan: "???"
Lipstick marks?
You said there are lipstick marks on my forehead?
hiss--
Zhang Fan looked shocked and hurriedly took out a mirror from his system backpack and looked at it intently.
When he saw what he looked like now, he took a deep breath and his face became extremely gloomy.
Holy shit!
Mieko Oda, are you fucking cheating on me?
You secretly kissed me while I was sleeping last night? ! ! !
