Chapter 177 Hongmen Banquet(1/2)
Earlier, Butterfly House.
Murata hugged his chest with his hands, tremblingly holding the Hibiro Knife, and a thin layer of ice was shaking all over his body, moving in from the gate with a chill, looking like a living zombie that had just been thawed.
Several ghost killing team members who were about to leave, who were about to leave, suddenly changed their expressions and hurriedly gave up a wide road.
After Murata passed by, the few people whispered and rustled, then they rushed out of the door as if they were running away tacitly and left quickly.
You know, it's their working hours at night. They leave here to kill ghosts and are likely to die.
But looking at their appearance when they ran away, it was obvious that even ghosts were not as terrible as Murata.
After all, the team members are not afraid of death—
I'm afraid I'll die inexplicably...
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"It must be Lord Yinzhu who told others about my bad luck..."
Murata roared in his heart.
Seeing his teammates treating him like a ghost, Murata wanted to cry very much.
However, the muscles on his face had been frozen hard and could not make any expression. Even the gaps in his eyes where tears could seep out of his eyes were filled with ice crystals, and a tingling sensation came.
There was no choice but to drag his heavy and numb legs and slowly walk towards the ward area step by step, shouting as he walked:
"Is anyone? Can you help me..."
But the faint shouting was soon overwhelmed by the winter wind.
Until he struggled to walk to the door of the warehouse, Aoi Kanzaki, who was responsible for counting and distributing medicines, finally discovered his existence, and quickly called the three little ones to help and drag him into the kitchen.
The young nurses skillfully took off the icy clothes that he could almost use as a bulletproof vest, then wrapped his whole body with a towel, and gave him a small stool to sit next to the stove. This is the place with the highest temperature in the butterfly house.
After more than ten minutes, Murata's body completely warmed up and gradually got rid of numbness. A plain face turned red under the eyes of the girls. I don't know if it was because of the flames that were so close to you...
"That, may I ask..."
After Murata recovered, he grabbed a corner of the towel tightly and tried not to expose his skin as much as possible.
"Is Lord Huashi not here?"
"Hey, you're just falling into the water and getting frozen. We can be fully qualified for this kind of small problem."
Xiaoqing blinked Doudou's eyes, and saw Murata's expression that was reluctant to speak, his expression quickly turned from gentleness to grievance, "Can you say, Mr. Team Member, do you distrust our abilities?"
I don’t know if her emotions will be contagious or what happened. Xiao Sumi and Naho also sagged their mouths and eyes, as if I was about to cry for you to see.
And Aoi Kamisaki immediately inserted it between them, put her hands on her waist and glared at Murata.
"Wait, that's not what I mean!"
Murata is really crying without tears. "I have received important information and I must tell Master Kasumi as soon as possible."
He also emphasized, "This is something that Lord Yinzhu has emphasized."
"That's how it is."
When the girls' faces quickly recovered when they heard that it was another pillar's order.
"But, neither Sister Chanae nor Master Ninki are in Butterfly House now."
Aoi Kamisaki said with some distress, "Why do you wait? You should be back soon."
"Can't wait any longer, Lord Yinzhu said that he must deliver it to Huashi as soon as possible."
Murata's tone was anxious and a little bit guilty, "If there had been no accident on the way, the information would have been delivered long ago. Maybe it's a bit late now, so we must not delay any further."
"That's such an urgent matter, why don't you send me a message?"
Aoi Kamizaki frowned and questioned.
Murata finally shed tears of pain.
"I did ask the crow to deliver the letter at the beginning, but Xiao Shan, Xiao Shan, just as soon as it flew out, it was hit by a nearby child with a snowball, and then fell into the lake..."
"I jumped out of the lake to find it, and it became like this... but in the end, it still couldn't survive..."
“…”
Several girls opened their mouths wide and felt sorry for the fate of the crow.
"Since I want to deliver it as soon as possible, I can only borrow the other pillars' raven to deliver a letter to Sister Chanaihui."
"Are there any other pillars here?"
Murata suddenly felt hope.
After all, Zhu's crow speed is the fastest in the ghost killing team, and there are few accidents. Especially the low-probability event such as being hit by a snowball is impossible to happen to Zhu's crow.
"Of course, both the wind pillar and the water pillar live here..."
Aoi Kamisaki's eyes suddenly lit up, "However, the only one who is still dancing butterfly should be Mr. Tomooka."
"I'll go and borrow a crow from him now!"
As he said that, Aoi Kamizaki rushed out of the kitchen.
Five minutes later.
“What to write?”
Yoshio Tomooka's tone was cold and stiff, just like the tip of a pen that reflected a cold light in his hand, and the temperament of the crow on his shoulder was not much different.
"Hey, don't you remember me?"
Murata pointed to his face, with a little disappointed expression, but then he said self-deprecatingly, "That's right, it's obviously the same class, but only a few years have passed, you are already a pillar, but I have only been promoted to one level..."
"Stop talking nonsense."
The crow urged, "Tell me about intelligence."
Yoshio Tomooka's face was as calm as water. Obviously, what the Crow wanted to say was what he said.
"Feel sorry!"
After Murata was criticized by the crow, he hurriedly said a large number of names, including twenty or thirty, and his brave pen was like water, and he wrote down one without missing a single one.
"What are these names?"
Yi Yong felt that these names were a bit strange and had never heard of them. He did not seem to be a member of the Demon Slayer Team.
"Master Yinzhu said that Kasumi once asked him to investigate the possible believers of the Eternal Eternal Bliss Church among the high officials and nobles of Tokyo through the Emperor."
"So these days, Lord Yinzhu and his three wives have been collecting relevant information. All of the people on the list are suspicious people who have been judged after investigation."
"In addition, since Lord Yinzhu's own crow wanted to send the list back to the headquarters, I found me who was on standby in the office nearby, hoping to use my crow to send the message."
"But unexpectedly, my crow fell into the water just after flying out, and the letter paper was wet. I could only read the words on the letter paper clearly, memorize their names, and then run over to deliver the letter..."
Murata pulled out a bitter smile.
He was the only one in that office, but he didn't expect that he would kill another crow. It seems that the last time Yinzhu said that he was a broom star might be reasonable.
In addition, although he didn't know why the Demon Slayer was going to investigate high-ranking officials and nobles and an inexplicable church, Yinzhu emphasized that he must hand it over to Huazhu as soon as possible, and there must be a reason to have to do so.
But after his accidents and procrastination along the way, this information was at least more than an hour later than the expected delivery time.
Yoshio Tomooka turned around and looked at the crow, and the latter immediately reminded him: "Fengzhu said that the second of the winding string should be the ghost behind the Eternal Pure Land Buddhism."
"According to the lord's order, the task of investigating the second line of the winding line has always been the responsibility of Lord Chanae."
The second winding!
Murata's eyes suddenly widened, and he finally understood why Lord Yinzuki attached so much importance to this matter.
Fortunately, I came here by myself, otherwise I would have made a big mistake.
This is information about a ghost!
"Is this how?"
Yoshio Tomooka Yoshio looked at the list again, then rolled the letter and handed it over to the crow on his shoulder, "Please give it to you, and you'll deliver it as soon as possible."
The crows can find each other's location and have their own special intelligence network. They only need to exchange information a few times to clearly know the approximate location of each team member.
When the crow flew away, Yoshio Tomooka stood up, his deep-sea gaze fell on Murata's face.
The latter was suddenly nervous, worried that this seemingly serious pillar would liquidate his fault on the spot.
Obviously, he was in Tengxishan back then, so this person still said enthusiastically.
Seeing Tomooka Yoshiyuki get closer and closer to him, Murata swallowed with difficulty.
But what Murata didn't expect was...
Yoshio Tomooka suddenly put his hand on his shoulder.
"You are very good, Murata."
Yi Yong's tone was a little stiff, "I mean to memorize the list."
Hey hey hey hey?!
To be continued...
