Reiko didn't like haunted houses since she was a child.
When she was younger, she was bullied by monsters of all shapes and sizes. She was so scared that she didn't even dare to watch horror movies, let alone haunted houses. After she grew up, she got used to it and developed an indestructible heart. However, she didn't have any companions who could go to haunted houses with her, and no one would hold her hand when she was scared.
On the contrary, she was very good at pretending to be a ghost. After all, she had the help of monsters. During the Test of Courage, she had also let the monsters scare those naughty boys. Of course, the result was that the ominous legend about her became 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 other people's faces every day, she still lived a very fulfilling life with those students.
"In the future, you will no longer be alone. There will be many cute, kind, and handsome men with swords by your side. "
The future that Fox's Assistance described for her was too beautiful. Even if there was a little flaw, she was still willing to believe in it. Unconsciously, her cold expression softened a little.
"Oh my!" Shaking her head, Reiko pulled herself together. Her amber eyes glowed with determination. She began to search again.
Her current position was probably in the center of this Japanese-style house. She stood under the curved corridor and could see the dried-up pond in the courtyard, as well as the cherry trees that had turned into dead trees … Reiko thought that Fox's Assistance shouldn't be lying. This Pill must have been very beautiful in the past. She could imagine it.
"What a pity …" Reiko sighed, but she didn't notice that every time she walked past a place, a small green light spread from her body and seeped into the ground. The dry and barren land was moisturized and slowly recovered its vitality.
Reiko searched along the way and walked into a place that looked like a kitchen.
It was cold, as if there had been a fight. The floor was covered with broken bowls and plates. Reiko touched her stomach. After walking for a while, she was hungry.
There should have been a lot of food and vegetables stored in the kitchen. However, the fresh vegetables had long gone bad. Lingzi picked and picked. She took two sweet potatoes that had not sprouted and washed them. Then, she peeled them and chewed them while walking to the next place.
Along the way, she searched the practice room, the hand room, and the knife room, 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 would continue tomorrow. Thus, the row of rooms that she had only glanced at but hadn't 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 took a closer look, the blade of the Tai Dao was hidden in a gorgeous red and gold scabbard. The black handle had complicated patterns. Reiko vaguely remembered that it seemed to be the emblem of an ancient family.
Reiko's slender fingers stroked the scabbard. There are many types of swords in Japan, and ordinary people often can't distinguish them. However, Reiko is obviously the kind of person who can distinguish them.
After leaving her relatives' house as an adult, Reiko worked many part-time jobs to make ends meet. For a few months, she worked as a cashier in a brothel. Thanks to this experience, Reiko knew that this was definitely a good Tai Dao just by looking at its appearance.
Sure enough, as soon as it was unsheathed, a cold light flashed. The murderous aura condensed on the mirror-like blade seemed to be about to materialize. Reiko paused for a moment, then praised, "Not bad."
After saying that, Reiko closed the knife and carefully put it back in 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 disappears with the dew, it is my body. Or perhaps the matter of Nambo was just a dream of prosperity. "
Reiko muttered under her breath. She frowned as if she had read a famous quote from a textbook. She thought for a moment and walked out without hesitation. "Let's 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 …
The paper door closed, and the room was plunged into darkness once more. A beam of light pierced 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 filled with the strong smell of herbs, the room filled 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 bedsheets was 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 surprisingly didn't look 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 and fill her stomach. Otherwise, she would have to boil some water and wipe the dust in the room.
Reiko's sense of direction wasn't very good. After a big circle, she found the kitchen. It was completely dark. Fortunately, there was still oil in the oil lamp. After lighting it, Reiko neatly cleaned up the broken porcelain on the ground and went into the cellar to dig for food. However, just like outside, the vegetables were 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 of the letter, she carefully wiped away the dust and dirt on it. She carefully put it in her arms and then 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 came to 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. She 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. It was as if a demon with fangs and claws could come out at any time. Because of this, 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 one 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 this place. Every time she thought she was about to catch up, the white thing would disappear, and when she wanted to go back to the kitchen, it would appear 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 walked away, 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.
When the "demon" who was firmly held by the back of its neck saw the girl with a malicious smile, its golden eyes suddenly widened.
