457. Running(1/2)
When night falls again, it is time for evil ghosts to move.
The smell of blood spreads in the night sky, with humans and evil spirits.
As the sword light flashed, bright red blood splattered everywhere, and then it turned into a bubble and flew away without a trace. Just like the punishment given to evil ghosts by God, their death represents complete dissipation and death without a complete corpse.
"Ha ha--"
A ghost hunter gasped violently, swung his knife to activate his blood, and then dragged his tired body covered with scars to leave here.
Although the mission tonight was completed, he also suffered injuries that he could not handle by himself.
Every step I took, blood dripped down the wound to the ground.
"Oh...it seems like I have to go back to the headquarters to report."
The ghost hunter sighed slightly.
He did not consider going to Butterfly House for treatment first, because although his injuries were a little serious, they were not fatal. The most important thing now is to report another important thing to the lord - the ghost is getting stronger and stronger!
Yes, since the battle on Hua Street, the ghosts that appeared at night were obviously getting stronger and stronger.
His level in the Demon Killing Team is "C". This level is not weak. It is easy to deal with some troublemakers on weekdays, but in recent days and nights, he has felt more and more difficult.
The evil ghosts appear stronger and stronger, and the frequency of appearance is getting higher and higher. This is not a good thing. I always feel like something is going to happen.
His steps were a little heavy, and blood dripped on the ground. Perhaps because of his injury, his perception of the surroundings had declined. He did not find that there were wriggling spherical objects drilling out of the ground where he walked.
They were eyeballs that were rooted with the ground, and countless black hairs connected them to the ground. The eyes of these eyeballs all fell on the backs of ghost hunters. They observed the blood on the ground and followed them all the way.
······
Infinite City.
The sound of the pipa echoed in the quiet city.
The girl was sitting upright on the tatami while playing with the strings of the pipa. Behind her was a wall that extended infinitely toward the upper part. Her dark hair was attached to the wall, spreading upward like a creeper.
The ground is at the end of the hair, and the ends of these hairs are connected by her "eyes". She used this method to quietly monitor the every move of the ghost hunters who were going out to obtain the information they wanted.
He can control the huge Infinite City Gong Wusan's hiding and has such excellent intelligence collection ability. At this moment, after the vacant position of the Fengxian Si, Mingnu naturally replaced the position of the Qiantiangou and became the new Fengxian Si.
Suddenly, the sound of the pipa ended abruptly.
"Um?"
Wusan, who was sitting opposite Mingnu, raised his head and glanced at her.
Wu Sang lay on his back on the sofa, like a spectator who came to listen to the geisha playing.
The performance suddenly stopped at this moment, and he needed the performer to give him an explanation.
"Sir, I have found another person."
Mingnu said respectfully in the direction not far away in front of her, "Since this way, I have mastered the every move of nearly 60% of the ghost hunters. According to their movement trajectory, the headquarters of the ghost killing team will be found soon."
After saying that, she continued to play again, and the melodious sound of the pipa continued to play. After all, she had no combat ability, and her mission was just to solve the problems of the adult in front of her.
The adult in front of her was very unhappy during this period. If she angered the adult again, she knew that her fate would be very miserable.
“Okay, very good.”
On the sofa not far away in front of Mingnu, Wusan was looking down at the map in his hand.
While listening to Naruto's performance, he looked at the various trajectories marked on the map, and a happy smile finally appeared on his face.
"Myung, your growth is far beyond my expectations."
For this useful tool in front of you, Wushou is not stingy with his praise.
All the ghosts he sent recently, whether it was the lower string or the upper string, made him feel very beautiful. Only Ming Nu, who had just taken over the upper string position, completed her task very well. This can be said to be the only thing that made him feel happy in this period of time.
"Wait, Demon Slayer, this time I will definitely erase you completely from this world."
The smile on Wu San's face only lasted for a moment, and his face became extremely cold again.
He looked at the map in his hand, and outlined the trajectories with scarlet red lines like blood. Where did these trajectories gather? There is no need to guess that the headquarters of the Demon Killing Team is the only one.
"Sir, are you really going to take action yourself this time?"
Hearing the words of the adult in front of him, Naruto asked carefully.
"Can I count on you again?"
Wusan glanced at her coldly, his eyes full of anger, as if he was very dissatisfied with Mingnu's question.
If it weren't for the very useful "tool" in front of him, he would never tolerate a ghost under his command to speculate or question his decision.
"Don't dare..."
The girl's hands shaking the pipa trembled slightly, and she lowered her head and continued to play.
"You just need to follow the orders I gave you and execute them well. You don't need to worry about the rest, do you understand?"
"I understand."
After responding, Naruto quickly closed his mouth.
Only the echoing sound of the pipa remained in the Infinite City.
······
“Huhhhh…”
The rapid breathing sound came from Shanyi's mouth.
He ran with all his might.
Speed has always been his strength. Logically speaking, there will probably be no human in this world except Xuan Hao who can be faster than Shan Yi now.
There are very few people who can chase him among ghosts.
But he was indeed running desperately at this moment, as if he would be doomed if he could be a step slower.
There was no one behind him, and nothing seemed to be chasing him, but at this moment he felt an unprecedented coldness on his back.
What chases him is not the enemy, but time, death.
The bright red blood dripped along the path of his running, and he was not injured, so the blood was not his, but left by the person he was holding.
At this moment, what he was holding in his arms was the most important person to him in this world.
His teacher, like a grandfather, exists, Sangdao Ciwulang.
Sangdao Ciwuro was the former "Mingzhu" of the Demon Slayer Team. He used the breath of thunder and was powerful because he lost one leg when fighting with the ghost and retreated to the second line to carry out the work of "cultivator".
But even so, his strength is still unquestionable. Even if he encounters an ordinary ghost who is injured, he can still deal with it easily even if he only has one leg. So why did he enter a dying state like now?
The reason for this matter starts with Shan Yi's damn senior brother "Yu Yue".
Ciwulang of Sangdao has two disciples, and these two disciples can be said to be problematic children.
One is a kind-hearted person who has no talent and can only learn the first-class thunder breathing type, while the other is a senior brother, "Yu Yue", who is completely opposite to Zen Yi.
Yes, completely on the contrary, unlike the kind-hearted, Jessie, this guy is a complete scumbag.
Zhu Yue is naturally impetuous and can never calm down to train when practicing. He is obviously not a swordsman without talent, but he cannot even fully grasp the breath of thunder.
There are six sword types in total in Thunder Breath. Shanyi can only learn the first type, but Yu Yue can't learn this simple and pure type because there is no trick to this type and can only be mastered through continuous and repeated exercises. That's all.
It sounds like he is just a person who likes to take shortcuts. Why do he say he is a scumbag?
Because what he did and what he did in the past and present had reached an unforgivable level.
Lu Yue is a selfish person who fully implements selfishness.
When he was young, he was a homeless orphan and kept his life by stealing. In the most difficult times, he was gradually formed in order to survive and even live in mud and water. In order to survive, he could only think about himself selfishly, because for him, only living is the most important thing. No matter what the process is, as long as he is still alive, he will definitely change the status quo.
In fact, if this personality is limited to this, it is not unforgivable, but what he will do has already broken through the bottom line of being a human being.
When Lu Yue was about to starve to death, what saved him was the wretched Yu Xingming, who had not yet become a swordsman in the Demon Slayer Team.
At that time, the Wildering Yu Xingming was still practicing in the temple. He found the dying dying Yu Yue and took him back to the temple to raise him.
This is undoubtedly life-saving grace for Lu Yue.
But how did he repay it?
The intake of Lu Yue did not intend to live in a simple and ordinary way as a good child. Even if he had a stable life, he still did not get rid of the problem of stealing.
One day, he was driven out of the temple by other children carrying the Whispering Yu Xingming because he stole money. That night, Lu Yue met a ghost on the mountain.
So, in order to save his life and revenge on other children, he led the ghost to the temple.
He was not grateful for the wretchedness of his kindness, and even wanted to kill him. When he sneaked into the temple, he extinguished the wrinkled flower incense burner that was pointing in the temple, and then closed the temple gate and took the opportunity to escape alone.
The result of his series of actions was that only one child in the temple survived. At that time, Wuming Yu Xingming did not join the ghost killing team. When he discovered that the evil ghosts invaded, there was no time to save the other children. The only child left was still the one he had to sacrifice his life to fight with the evil ghosts until dawn.
Most humans do not know the existence of ghosts, so the tragedy in the temple will naturally not know that it was caused by evil ghosts.
All they could see were the dead children, and the only one present at the scene, the burly man who was born with the power of extraordinary monsters was naturally convicted of being a sinner and being imprisoned.
This is the first sin committed by Lu Yue. He will repay his kindness with gratitude and has no gratitude for his benefactor who saves himself.
Next, after learning about the existence of the ghost, Lu Yue chose to become a ghost hunter in order to survive better and have the means to save his life.
To be continued...
