…
on the street.
Tanjuro and Beimingyu were guarding Yiwozao who was immersed in hallucinations.
soon.
Da da da!
The sound of footsteps and tiles could be heard on the roof across the street.
"Mr. Kamado——!"
Purgatory Anjuro shouted, his feathers were blown by the wind, and he ran and jumped from the roof: "I'm sorry! We are late!"
boom!
He suddenly landed on the street, his legs squatting slightly to relieve his strength.
"Has it been solved?" Xingjuro raised his head and looked at Tanjuro who turned to look at him energetically.
After looking around, Xingshou Lang's eyes rested on Yiwozuo, half of his body turned into ashes.
——It’s the winding ghost!
This look...
He raised his bright eyes.
Are you already half dead?
Although he was a little confused, seeing how calm Tanjuro and Beimingyu looked, he acted very naturally.
"That's it!" Xingjulang stood up in a flash, crossed his arms, smiled and nodded loudly.
Snap.
Tomioka Giyu followed closely behind, tapping his feet lightly on the ground and appearing expressionless.
He glanced at the Chacha Maru on Tanjuro's shoulder in surprise.
Then, after his eyes stayed on Yiwozao for a while, Tomioka Giyu looked at Anjuro next to him strangely.
Tomioka Giyu asked in a low voice:
"...The current situation is...?"
Xingshourou turned around very happily, his thick red flame hair swaying, and he showed his white teeth with a cheerful smile:
"have no idea!"
Uh-huh! He gave a thumbs up:
"But it must be okay!"
Tomioka Giyuu was stunned.
——?
Cold sweat slowly dripped from his forehead, and he felt that the eldest son of the Purgatory family in front of him was, compared to his father...
A little... too talkative.
Thinking about it, he withdrew his eyes.
Still, it feels pretty good.
Sensing that Tomioka Giyuu seemed to be in a lighter mood, Mingming Island cast a doubtful "look" at him.
At this time.
In front of several people.
Yiwozuo, who was standing there, suddenly trembled.
Creak!
The sounds of flesh creaking came and went, immediately attracting the attention of several people present.
rustle…
The last trace of pink gas on the ground disappeared, and the tip of Yiwozao's nose was twitching, as if he was struggling to endure something, and the right half of his body regenerated rapidly.
As the ground liquid dries up completely.
Yi Wo Zuo's dazed eyes quickly became clear.
He blinked in a daze and froze on the spot.
This is...my place.
Looking up, the pale bright moon was reflected in his eyes.
The blackened vision met the eyes of Tanjuro and others one by one.
The vast white area just now, the huge Sakura dragon, and the vivid red sword all disappeared in an instant.
Take a deep breath.
"I... came out?" Yiwozuo shook his head and whispered softly, his expression still a little confused:
"What was...just about..."
While talking to himself, he lowered his head unintentionally and glanced at the right half of his body that was regenerating from the ashes.
The pupils suddenly shrank.
——The vitality has indeed passed away!
——What I saw just now is all real!
That means that the knife...
Halfway through his self-questioning thoughts, Yiwozuo suddenly remembered what he was going to do and raised his head suddenly.
His eyes glanced left and right, and finally locked on Tanjuro. He subconsciously opened his stance and clenched his fists.
In his field of vision, Tanjuro's body quickly became transparent.
He has already entered the so-called supreme realm!
[Destruction Kill·Luo Needle]!
Creak!
All the muscles in my body suddenly became tense!
He noticed Yiwozuo's starting movement.
"Don't even think about it...!" The monk of Mingming Island shook his clothes, raised his strong arm, and subconsciously threw up the meteor hammer and broad knife in his hand.
"Wait a minute."
Tanjuro whispered as he stood in front of Mingming Island.
The still red Kakimaru in his hand lowered the blade - he was ready to kill Yiwozao at any time.
Turning around, he looked at Beiming Island:
"Believe me."
Seeing this, Wei Mingyu fell silent for a moment and slowly put down the Sun Blade in his hand.
at the same time.
"Can't be wrong!!" Yiwozao gritted his teeth and stared at Tanjuro, he yelled:
"Defeat that guy, the human holding that sword!"
"That's you!"
boom! !
The ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked, and Yiwozuo stepped hard on the ground, his whole body alert to the maximum.
Absolutely right!
In his eyes, Tanjuro's appearance was reflected extremely clearly.
This guy is the one I saw in the illusion just now——
Defeat that behemoth human!
Possessing vitality far beyond that of a ghost, he can freely control such a terrifying and ominous blade!
In other words, what I guess——
The guy who killed Shang Xian Yi must be him!
Thinking of this.
Yiwozuo's fighting spirit, which had been suppressed just now, rose again, although he could not fight such a creature in person.
But he can - choose a more powerful target!
Clench your fists!
[Destruction Kill·Destruction Style]!
boom! !
He stepped out, and his bare feet slammed onto the street mixed with dirt and stones. The beads on his ankles suddenly vibrated under the force and made a clanking sound.
"Roar--!!"
Yiwozuo opened his arms and bent his upper body slightly. The movement of his muscles was clearly visible under the floating short shirt.
The blood ghost technique explodes with all its strength, and hundreds of years of martial arts are poured into this moment!
Charge up!
boom--!
An invisible force burst out from all over the body! Enveloping the entire ghost in Yiwozuo, the energy that keeps rising rapidly brings about a sudden wind! Spread in all directions!
The rising airflow even blurred the roaring appearance of Yiwozuo!
opposite,
Hearing Yiwozao's words, Tanjuro and Anjuro and others jumped back a few steps.
He frowned and looked at Yi Wo Zuo with some confusion.
Yiwozuo's voice echoed in his ears.
That guy? Holding the sword?
As Tanjuro jumped out of the range of Yiwozao's charged attack, he turned his head strangely and couldn't help but frown.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the envelope written by Zhu Shi in his hand again as if to confirm.
[It varies from person to person]——
He just guessed that what Yi Wo Zuo saw was most likely his own memory when he was a human.
In that case, the Yiwo Zodiac sign who has rediscovered himself should be in a state of self-loathing and regret, and try to commit suicide.
but now.
Tanjuro looked at Yiwozao again, and was even more puzzled when he saw the other person's full power explosion.
He couldn't help but think in his heart.
——What exactly did Yiwozuo see?
Expansion! !
The dirt floor on the street was lifted up by the sudden surge of air and floated in mid-air like anti-gravity.
Yiwozuo stood in the center of the airflow, his eyes turned white, and the evil ghost's fangs stretched out ferociously.
Wow——! !
Bang! Bang!
The further expanding airflow blew the wooden doors on both sides of the street, making a decaying sound.
"Kamamon." Wei Mingyu stepped on the edge of the eaves. He turned his head to face Tanjuro, and the airflow bursting out in the middle of the street blew the tips of his hair.
Two lines of clear tears flowing from his eyes were blown away by the sudden wind.
The sound of the words was weakened by the wind that clung to the ears.
It could barely be seen through the shape of his mouth that he seemed to be asking when to attack.
Tanjuro's eyes were also focused on Yiwoza in the middle of the street. The flower earrings under his earlobes were being blown by the air and kept swaying.
Tanjuro didn't wait for a response.
on the street.
"Hoah——!!"
Yiwo Zuo roared ferociously. He had already accumulated all his strength at this moment. He stepped on the ground and poured all his strength into it, preparing to turn into an afterimage and charge forward.
tread!
Just took the first step!
next moment!
Creak——!
The soles of his feet stepped on the ground, twisted awkwardly, made a harsh sound, and abruptly stopped moving forward.
"Pfft! Cough?!" Yiwozuo suddenly choked in his throat.
He failed to take the second step and even stumbled in a weird posture.
He looked behind him with extremely surprised eyes.
His body stagnated and his sprinting movement paused.
Expansion!
The huge airflow rising around him seemed to have suddenly stopped, disappearing completely in an instant.
The dirt and gravel floating in the air jumped suddenly.
Snap, snap, snap.
The gravel seemed to have lost its power to float, and fell to the ground feebly.
On both sides of the street, the swinging house doors gradually calmed down.
Yiwozuo kept looking back, spreading his legs like a horse, and stood in the middle of the street with a frozen expression.
Like a sculpture, it stands motionless.
There was only a thin white mist left, wrapping around the surface of the body and gradually drifting away.
"The ghost stopped!"
Xingjuro opened his eyes that were narrowed by the wind, raised the blade, and repeatedly tightened the handle of the knife with his fingers, looking eager to try:
"Is now a good opportunity?"
"Be careful, it might be a trap." Tomioka Giyu stood beside him, his eyes lowered, ready to draw his sword at any time:
"Stay alert, Inferno."
aside.
"This is..." Wei Mingyu put down the hand covering his ears. Seeing this, his alert mind froze, and his body in a defensive posture slowly stood up straight.
Perceiving.
The murderous aura and fighting spirit that filled Yi Wo Zuo's body disappeared almost in an instant.
It was as if a madman suddenly turned into a very sane and normal person.
"He gave up the fight..."
Why?
Wei Mingyu frowned.
Puzzled, he turned to face Tanjuro.
Tanjuro observed Yiwozao's appearance and saw the same surprised and confused expression on his face.
The flower earrings swayed slightly.
He smiled and breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's it, it's ready."
Withdrawing his eyes, Tanjuro nodded towards Mingming Island:
"Go down."
Hear the words.
"Nawu..." Wei Mingyu's hand holding the chain of the meteor hammer dropped, and he silently recited the Buddha's name in his heart:
"So...the purpose of this is...?"
Tanjuro did not put Kakimaru back into its sheath. His eyes stayed on Yiwoza, and his tone was calm but decisive:
"Instigate rebellion."
Wei Mingyu was stunned for a moment,
incite defection?
——?
In surprise, he turned around completely and "looked" at Tanjuro's side face and the slightly raised levator anguli oris muscle of the other person, and he was stunned.
Before he could react.
Tanjuro has already jumped down from the roof in a hurry.
——When Yiwozuo commits suicide, it will be too late.
…
In the middle of the street.
Yiwo Zuo turned around and looked at the illusory figure holding his hand in surprise and did not move for a moment.
"ha…"
The girl's fair arms were hastily exposed outside the pink kimono. She held Yiwoza's arm tightly, as if she was afraid of losing it.
She breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to herself:
"...Great, I finally caught it."
She subconsciously worked hard to breathe. After realizing that she no longer had tuberculosis, the girl's face turned slightly rosy and she slowly raised her head.
The pink eyes have flower-like white pupils, which are very beautiful and special.
The corners of his eyes were slightly red, as if he had just cried.
Those eyes, reflected in the moonlight at this moment, turned around in confusion, with normal skin color——
——The one named "Komaji" looks like a boy.
…
The pale moonlight shone down on the streets where rubble and ruins were piled up everywhere.
Yiwozuo turned around blankly and looked at the girl behind him with her hair tied up and wearing a silver snowflake hairpin.
"...that's enough."
She raised her head, with a pleading tone, and the tip of her nose was a little sore.
After seeing Yi Wo Zuo's face full of "sinner tattoos", the girl could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes.
In my memory, the tattoo that Mr. Komaji received for stealing medicinal materials and fighting only existed on his arm, and it only had three lines.
No one can give Yiwozuo, who has turned into a ghost, more tattoos representing sinners.
Now, the tattoos spread all over the body...
It's telling.
——[I am a sinner].
Thinking of this, tears flowed down the girl's cheeks, and she pursed her lips:
"Please stop, Mr. Komaji."
The flower-like pupils trembled:
"Already, there is no need to become stronger."
These words were like magic, the moment the girl's timid voice fell.
The reluctance and fighting spirit remained in Yiwozuo's eyes.
Dissipate completely.
boom!
A stone fell heavily in my heart.
What follows is countless questions.
Komaji?
Who is Komaji?
"You..." Yi Wo Zuo frowned in disbelief, just about to ask the other party's identity.
But the words were stuck in his mouth and he couldn't say them out.
Yiwozuo was stunned.
Why--
Why does he think words like "Who are you?" are hurtful words.
His brows were furrowed tightly, and his golden eyes were bloodshot.
No - after all, as a ghost, how could he feel compassion for humans?
"…open!"
Yiwozuo, who had just recovered from his daze, blinked hard and subconsciously wanted to pull his arm out of the girl's hand.
The girl's body seemed to be very weak. She staggered a bit but still did not let go.
Instead, he raised his head, stood on tiptoes with difficulty, and whispered:
"I, I am Lianxue."
She was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, her face became sickly rosy, and she explained in a trembling tone:
"Let's not do any more bad things."
He took two hard breaths:
"Okay?"
before.
Yiwo Zuo saw that Lianxue's face seemed to be red due to the rise in body temperature, and she was sweating profusely.
In my mind, familiar scenes began to overlap countless times.
He was slightly startled.
…
Then he quickly reacted.
Oops!
He quickly reached out and wiped the sweat from Lianxue's forehead, and Yiwozuo's expression became anxious.
If this continues, the condition will worsen!
Yiwozuo subconsciously turned his head and looked around.
——Towels and hot water at...
The moment his eyes touched the broken rubble around him.
He came to his senses and froze in place.
