The distance from Yoshiwara to Butterfly House is neither far nor close.

Based on the speed of cars in this era, as well as the less than ideal traffic rules and road conditions in Tokyo, the driver conservatively estimated that it would take at least an hour and a half to reach Takinogawa Village, where Butterfly House is located.

To be honest, at this distance, if Genichiro and Butterfly Shinobu travel at full strength, it would only take half an hour to reach them.

But considering that a lot of things happened last night and no one had a good rest, and because Kuro and Yongzhen were both "ordinary people", Butterfly Ninja didn't suggest getting out of the car and walking on foot.

In this way, everyone in the car went about their own business.

Yongzhen was in the front row, studying modern Japanese. In short, he was reading.

Butterfly Ninja was facing the rising sun, reading the sick leaf's notes fascinatedly, with an excited expression, as if he had discovered some important treasure, and he could be regarded as reading.

Kuro is reading a booklet that is full of English words and is more than two centimeters thick, so... he is still reading.

Therefore, Genichiro was the only one present, sitting by the car window, looking like a bored and illiterate person.

In fact, within the first five minutes of getting into the car, he had already successfully used the newly obtained secret technique of "calling friends and friends" to solve the problem of "Drowning Ji" in the "memory of the battle with the fourth string", and received the reward.

.

Therefore, he now has a total of 3 useless skill points, and his attack power level has also reached level 2.

The so-called attack power level means that with each level up, the damage caused by all of Genichiro's attacks will increase by 10%, and at level two it is 20%.

As a result, he became a little stronger than last night.

However, precisely because he used the secret technique twice in a row within a few hours, the concentration he finally regained was exhausted. However, Genichiro was not aware of the hidden dangers of doing so.

At this moment, Genichiro is like a senior high school student who stayed up late to finish 8 math papers. His attention is very distracted and he cannot concentrate on anything at all.

His wandering eyes kept wandering back and forth on the pages in the hands of the three people, and he no longer had the usual sense of deja vu as if he was thinking deeply, as if he was planning some conspiracy.

【Talk to me quickly! Talk to me quickly!】

Listening to the sound of paper turning, Genichiro's mood became more and more manic. He felt that his brain seemed to be covered with a film, but inside it was a ball of heat (caused by overload), and there were also sounds that he did not think it was.

Your own voice.

The feeling was very familiar, just like the situation when he used Transformation to become Ruozha. He was just a little bit away from completely losing his self-control and turning into a red ghost who failed in his experiment.

What concerned him even more was that an unusually hot feeling suddenly came from the connection point of the left prosthetic hand, as if someone was using a match to bake the skin of his elbow from a distance of one or two centimeters.

【What's going on?】

【Has the fire of resentment been ignited?】

【But I didn’t kill anyone!】

With an ugly expression on his face, he pressed his right hand on the sleeve of his left hand, but he could only feel the normal coldness of a dead thing.

【Is it an illusion? 】

Genichiro didn't understand what was going on, and he couldn't concentrate to explore it carefully, but his spirit inevitably became more and more tense.

Finally, Jiulang, who was closest to him, felt that his breathing was getting heavier and heavier, and then he raised his head and looked at his brother who looked a little strange.

"Brother Genichiro, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Kuro asked with concern, but his tone was more curious.

In his opinion, Genichiro's face was far less serious than usual.

His eyebrows, which usually pressed tightly against the upper edges of his eyes, were raised abnormally high, a little too lively.

The abyss-like black pupils in the past looked big and bright in the sunrise sunshine, like a kitten coquettishly treating its owner. The skin above the cheekbones also had a healthy blush, and the chin was not tight at all.

A feeling of stiffness.

For any child, this expression is normal, and even a little cute.

But if Genichiro's normal expression is used as a reference standard, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is making a face.

【Finally! Finally you are talking to me!】

【I almost wanted to open the door and jump out of the car.】

Genichiro didn't understand that he had exhausted his concentration and was already exhibiting the symptoms of a child with ADHD.

Seeing that Butterfly Shinobi also took his attention away from Yingye's notes and looked at him in surprise, Genichiro then forcibly adjusted his breathing, intending to use external stimulation to alleviate his abnormal state.

But if he only relies on himself to suppress it, it won't be long before his left hand will really burst into flames.

"Um……"

He put his eyes on the English book in Jiulang's hand and asked in a lively tone: "Kiulang, what book are you reading now?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Kuro, who was the person involved, was stunned, but Yong Zhen, who was in the front seat, slowly turned his head, his light brown eyes staring at Genichiro's face, showing a strong suspicion.

"Brother Genichiro (Sir), are you chatting with me (Kuro)?"

The two discovered the anomaly almost at the same time.

The current Genichiro-nii (adult) really talks like a child.

Not only the tone of voice, but also the expression is very similar. It is as if the real owner of this body - a nine-year-old child himself is talking.

"Well, Miss Shinobu bought this for me at Yoshiwara's bookstore when I was shopping last night."

After a brief silence, Kuro still chose to answer the question. Although Brother Genichiro was very strange today, it made people feel very relaxed, "It is a collection of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories. This person should be Miss Shinobi's favorite author."

"

"Yoshiwara's bookstore?"

It's not like Genichiro has never visited Yoshiwara's bookstore. He knew exactly what kind of books would be sold there, so he asked in a weird tone: "What kind of serious books can Yoshiwara's bookstore sell? Are you reading some?"

It’s something you shouldn’t watch at this age.”

【How could I say such a thing?】

Genichiro began to scream in his heart, but his hands suddenly grabbed the pamphlet in Kuro's hand uncontrollably and flipped through it. There were indeed some simple illustrations that were not pleasant.

But the overall color is darker rather than yellow.

Genichiro then handed the book back with some disappointment.

Kuro looked at the returned book and hesitated for a long time. Then he stretched out his hand to hold the back of the book and gently took the book back from Genichiro's hand, but his heart could not calm down.

"Brother Genichiro, were you kidding just now?"

Genichiro Ashina, the daimyo of Ashina Province, was known as a cold-faced evil tiger in the imperial court during the Warring States Period. He had no sense of humor and never joked. He was famous for being serious, gloomy, cruel, decisive, and willful.

Everything he saw before his eyes was too abnormal.

In the end, Yongzhen discovered some clues.

"Sir Genichiro, do you feel some discomfort in your left arm?"

Her expression was extremely serious.

The last time Kuro saw her like this was when Yongzhen came back from the secret passage of the castle tower and talked about the disappearance of the Buddhist carver.

It was only after he was resurrected that he realized that the flame monster raging near Otemon was actually the missing Buddhist sculptor.

Thinking of this, he also became nervous along with Yongzhen, holding his breath and waiting for Genichiro's answer.

"It feels a little hot."

Genichiro nodded, "But it seems like it's just an illusion."

On the other side, the confused Butterfly Ninja heard this and immediately stretched out his upper body to cross over Kuro, directly lifted the sleeve of Genichiro's left hand, and began to check the situation at the interface.

"Could it be that there was an accident during my sister's and my surgery?"

Thanks to the butterfly ninja, Yongzhen finally saw the familiar gray-white ninja prosthetic hand, and saw that there was no familiar dim flame on it, so he felt a little relieved.

Having come into contact with two generations of Ninja prosthetic hand owners, she knew very well the steps to ignite the Fire of Shura and the Fire of Resentment.

Before the mutation occurred, both the Buddha Sculptor and the Wolf had experienced a burning sensation similar to phantom pain, and both had lost a considerable degree of self-control, allowing their long-suppressed desires to surface.

For the Buddhist sculptor, it was a sudden addiction to alcohol and a desire for the company of others.

As for the wolf, it is a crazy grab for power.

But as long as the flame doesn't really burn, there is still room for change.

"Miss Shinobu, please lend me your pen."

"OK."

Although she didn't know what Miss Yongzhen wanted to do, Butterfly Ninja agreed to the request of this woman whose temperament was similar to her sister's without any hesitation.

I saw Yongzhen taking the pen that originally belonged to the sick leaf, tearing off the blank page in front of the back cover of the book in his hand, and wrote a piece of... ghost painting charm.

Genichiro glanced at it and knew that it was the same thing as the "victory charms" that were everywhere outside the abandoned Buddhist temples. It was a special magical weapon used to drive away evil spirits and suppress desolate spirits.

I just didn't expect that Yongzhen could actually do this. It seems that what she inherited from Daoxuan was far more than just medical skills.

Then, under Butterfly Ninja's confused eyes, Yongzhen took off the strip of cloth tangled in his hair and handed it all to her with paper.

"Miss Shinobu, please use this piece of cloth to tie this talisman to Genichiro-sama's left hand." Yongzhen asked with a very serious expression on his long hair falling behind his shoulders.

Even though he had seen a lot of Ashina's mysteries, the Butterfly Ninja, as a doctor, still instinctively doubted after taking the things, "Miss Nagazhen, this...is this really useful?"
