Reiko had never liked haunted houses since she was young.
When she was young, when she was not so immune to poison, she was maliciously bullied by strange-looking monsters and was afraid,
Not to mention haunted houses,
She did not even dare to watch horror movies. When she grew up, she got used to it and naturally trained her indestructible heart, but..,
She did not have a partner who could go to the haunted house with her,
And no one would hold her hand when they were afraid.
On the contrary..,
She was very good at pretending to be a ghost. After all..,
With the help of monsters. During the Test of Courage,
She had also let the monsters scare those mischievous boys. Of course..,
The result was that the ominous legend on her was even more exaggerated.
Now that she thought about it, at that time, she was living under someone else's roof,
Although she had to look at people's faces every day,
However, he still lived a very fulfilling life playing around with those students every day.
"From now on, you will no longer be alone. There will be many cute, kind, and handsome men with swords and sabers by your side. "
The future that Fox's Assistance had described for her was too beautiful,
Even if there were a little flaw..,
She was still willing to believe more. Unknowingly..,
Her cold expression softened a little from being deceived.
"Yoshi!" She shook her head and pulled herself together,
His amber eyes glowed with a resolute light.
Reiko began to search again.
Her current location was probably in the center of this Japanese-style house,
She stood under the eaves of the corridor with nine turns and eighteen bends. She could see the dried-up pond in the courtyard, as well as the cherry blossom trees that had turned into withered trees... Reiko thought to herself, Fox's Assistance should not be lying. This Pill must have been very beautiful in the past. She could imagine it.
"What a pity..." Reiko sighed, but she did not notice that every time she walked past a place, a small green light spread out from her body and seeped into the land. The dry and barren land was moistened and slowly regained its vitality.
Reiko searched along the way and walked into a place that looked like a kitchen.
The kitchen was cold, as if there had been a fight. The floor was littered with broken bowls and plates. Reiko rubbed her stomach. After walking for a while, she was hungry.
There should have been a lot of food in the kitchen, but the fresh vegetables had long gone bad. Reiko picked and picked two sweet potatoes that had not sprouted. She washed them, peeled them, and chewed them as she walked to the next place.
Along the way, she searched through all the practice rooms, hand rooms, and knife forging rooms, but still didn't see a single person. Reiko, whose back was aching and legs were cramping in the huge This Pill, once again confirmed that she had really been tricked by Fox's Assistance.
She had been looking forward to that … Oh, no, no, no. After seeing so many ugly monsters, she had never looked forward to a life surrounded by beautiful men!
There was still a small part of the room that she hadn't finished searching, but the sky was already dark. Reiko pinched her sore legs and decided to find a room to spend the night before it was completely dark. She could continue searching tomorrow. Thus, the row of rooms that she had only glanced at but had not entered before became her target. They were obviously bedrooms.
She casually pushed open a door. It was a clean and tidy room. The furnishings and decorations were relatively luxurious. However, what attracted Reiko's attention at first glance was a Tai Dao on a knife rack.
She had only glanced at it roughly before, but now that she looked carefully, the red and gold intertwined with the gorgeous scabbard hid the sharp edge of the Tai Dao. The black handle had complicated patterns. Reiko vaguely remembered that it seemed to be the emblem of an ancient family.
She carefully went over and took the Tai Dao. Reiko's slender fingers stroked the scabbard. There were many types of Tai Dao in Japan. Ordinary people often couldn't distinguish between them, but Reiko was clearly the type that could.
After she had grown up and left her relatives' home, Reiko had worked many part-time jobs to make ends meet. For a few months, she had worked as a cashier in a brothel. Thanks to this experience, Reiko could tell that this was definitely a good Tai Dao just by looking at its appearance.
Sure enough, the moment it was unsheathed, the cold light was threatening. The murderous aura condensed on the mirror-like blade seemed to be about to materialize. Reiko paused, then praised, "Not bad."
After saying that, Reiko closed the knife and carefully put it back to its original place.
When she raised her head again, Reiko stared at a piece of calligraphy hanging on the wall. It was written with strong strokes, and it was not difficult to see the quality of the writer.
Lu Lu Lu Xiao Lu Lu Xiao Lu
Like a drop of dew drifting down, it also vanishes with the dew, it is my body. Or perhaps the matter of Nambo was just a dream. "
Lingzi muttered in a low voice. The famous sayings that seemed to have appeared in the textbooks made her frown. After thinking for a while, she walked out without hesitation. "I'd better change to another room …"
Although she had always gone with the flow, when she had a choice, she still preferred a place where she could make herself more comfortable.
His murderous aura and his last words, which sounded like he was about to die or live, made her panic …
After she closed the paper door, the room fell into darkness again. A ray of light shone through the paper window and hit the knife holder. If Reiko was still there, she would have noticed that the Tai Dao on the knife holder suddenly trembled, as if it had woken up from a deep sleep. However, it was only a short time before the Tai Dao returned to normal, as if the trembling had never happened …
On the other side, looking at the row of bedrooms, almost every room had a knife, but the style was different. Reiko passed the room with the strong smell of herbs, the room with all kinds of nail polish, and the room with all kinds of gorgeous dresses and stockings (didn't they say that there were no girls?). Wait, the room with countless dirty sheets was the one with the most unbearable … Finally, when Reiko opened a room that looked simple and plain, she let out a big sigh of relief.
Finally, I waited for you. Luckily, I didn't give up.
Reiko walked around the room. There were no scary decorations or strange things. At most, there was a tea set on the table by the window sill. Although the knife on the knife holder looked more gorgeous than the one in the first room, it was surprisingly not as cold and was especially beautiful. In short, the whole room gave her the feeling that … the original owner should be an old man. Reiko thought so and decided to stay here for the night. However, the first thing to do was to go to the kitchen to fill her stomach. Otherwise, she would have to boil some water and wipe the dust in the room.
Reiko's sense of direction was not very good. It took her a long time to find the kitchen. It was already completely dark. Fortunately, there was still oil in the oil lamp in the room. After lighting it, Reiko neatly cleaned up the broken porcelain on the floor. Then, she went into the cellar and began to dig for food. However, just like outside, the vegetables were all spoiled. Only sweet potatoes and potatoes were edible. Even so, Reiko was very grateful. At least she didn't have to go hungry, right?
After taking a few potatoes and sweet potatoes, Reiko was about to go out when she suddenly kicked a small stone. The stone rolled away with a grunt. Reiko was stunned. She put down the things in her hand and walked to the place where the stone stopped. She bent down and picked up a white piece of paper that was covered by the straw in the cellar.
It was a piece of crumpled letter paper. When Reiko saw the contents clearly, she carefully wiped the dust and dirt off it. Then, she carefully put it in her arms and knocked on the wall.
There was a slight noise. Reiko pondered for a moment. She put her hand on the wall and covered the wall with her spiritual power. With a click, the door on the wall opened.
Different from Reiko's strong and cold spiritual power, a gentle aura greeted her. Reiko was stunned and walked into the room that needed to be opened with spiritual power.
After a while, Reiko came out with some rice and vegetables. As soon as she came out, the door closed automatically and turned into a wall again.
Reiko took the sweet potatoes and potatoes that she had just put aside and walked out of the cellar.
Because she lived in the countryside when she was young, primitive kitchen utensils were not a big problem. Soon, smoke rose from the kitchen that had not been heated for a long time. Reiko made sweet potato porridge with the sweet potatoes, stir-fried the vegetables, and threw the potatoes directly into the stove. Then, she boiled some water and went back to the room to do a rough cleaning. When she was done, her stomach was already growling.
"I'm going to eat."
Her clear and pleasant voice sounded in the empty kitchen. Lingzi, who had long been used to being alone, began to eat silently. The dim yellow light emitted by the oil lamp shone on her body, elongating her shadow, making her look cold and lonely.
After eating a few mouthfuls, a rustling sound came from outside the kitchen. Reiko was stunned. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and went out to check. Under the night sky, the whole This Pill was dark, as if a demon with fangs and claws could run out at any time. Therefore, the flash of white was particularly obvious.
"Eh? A demon? "Reiko's eyes shone brightly, and her whole person became bright. A demon is good! The thing she was least afraid of was demons! Holding the wooden stick in her hand, Reiko chased after it without hesitation.
That "demon" was obviously very familiar with the environment here. Every time she thought she was about to catch up, the white thing disappeared, and when she wanted to go back to the kitchen, it appeared again. After a few times, Reiko felt that something was wrong.
After losing track of the "demon" again, Reiko stopped and deliberately said loudly, "Forget it, I can't catch up anyway. I'll go back to eat."
After saying that, Reiko turned and left, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
The night wind blew away the dark clouds in the sky, and the bright moonlight shone on the eaves of the corridor. Suddenly, a white figure carefully poked its head out from the corner. It didn't hear any sound, and when it saw that there was no one on the eaves of the corridor, it immediately let out an anxious whimper, and hurriedly ran towards the kitchen with its four short legs.
Just as it turned the corner, before it could react, its small body was lifted into the air.
The "demon" was firmly held by the back of its neck. When it saw the girl with a malicious smile on her face, its golden eyes suddenly widened.
To make matters worse, the young girl's voice sounded like a ghost as she said, "I ~ caught ~ you ~". The little thing let out a weak "Awoo", and large droplets of water started to fall from its round eyes. Its entire body started to tremble in fear … shaking like a sieve in the wind.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps cut through the silence. Under the faint starlight, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the end of the dirty and messy alley.
Probably because they ran too fast, the numerous footsteps and heavy breathing intertwined and echoed in the alley. The people who were running away in panic kept looking back.
When they passed by the only street light in the alley, the appearance of the person was clearly exposed under the dim yellow light.
It was a tall and burly man. He had a head of messy blonde hair and rough facial features. At this time, his face was like a color palette with green and purple patches. He wore a silver earring above his left ear. He wore a black white shirt, ripped jeans, sneakers, and a similarly tattered dark trench coat … He looked like an extremely sloppy beggar.
And this "beggar" was tightly hugging a bulging thing in front of his chest. It was blocked by the trench coat, so it was impossible to see what it was.
Suddenly, the bulging thing moved. A small hand grabbed the edge of the trench coat and gently pulled it. A small chestnut-colored head popped out.
"Daddy, stop and rest for a while!"
The child's voice with a smile was heard. The man who was running for his life paused and stopped to look around. After making sure that those people hadn't chased him here, he carefully hid behind the trash can in front of him and put the child down.
"Huff huff … I'm so tired! Damn, what kind of bad luck did I have today?! "
The tall man who was sweating profusely stared in the direction he came from. He roughly wiped his sweat and cursed in a low voice.
This man's name was Tokugawa Sen. He was 36 years old and an ordinary man in the slums. He didn't have a proper business. He relied on gambling and part-time jobs to raise his twelve-year-old son, Tatara Tobunaga … At this time, he was being chased by people from the casino with his son.
Speaking of which, he was really unlucky. After finishing his part-time job today, he went to the casino next door that had just opened not long ago and won two rounds. It wasn't much money and he didn't even cheat. When he went to the bathroom, he was stopped by the casino's people who said that they wanted to take him to meet someone. When he saw that something was wrong, of course he wanted to run away. He was caught and beaten up by the casino's people. He risked his life to escape. He thought that he had shaken them off, but in the end, he ran into the thugs who were chasing him near his house. Even worse, he ran into his son who he hadn't seen in a long time.
He had no choice but to carry his son and flee in all directions like a mouse caught by a cat. He didn't know what was wrong with this group of people, but they looked like they wouldn't give up until they caught him. They chased after him desperately. Fortunately, he was familiar with this area, so he didn't get caught by running through the alleys.
Now that he relaxed, Tokugawa Sen felt pain all over his body. Damn it, those thugs were too cruel. He felt like his ribs were broken. How could he fix it?!
Tatara Tobunaga stood obediently beside his father. He had a fair complexion and was different from his father's slightly rough facial features. He looked very delicate and cute, especially his smiling eyes, which were curved like crescent moons. Also, unlike a certain someone who was sloppy, he was wearing a little yellow chick T-shirt, brown cotton linen pants, and white sneakers. Although they were washed white, they were clean and fresh.
However, although he was twelve years old, he was short and thin. His body was also very thin and dry, and there wasn't much flesh on his face. He looked like a child who wasn't even ten years old.
His rough little hand tugged at his father's windbreaker. When Tokugawa Sen lowered his head, the thin child said with a smile, "Dad, it seems like you won a lot this time!" Usually, those people wouldn't care about him if he lost or won a small amount.
