Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

Minami Shiori struggled to open her eyes.

The surrounding area was filled with blood.

She saw a dark room filled with blood, and stood a silhouette. The figure was wearing a moon-white kimono, and the clothes were stained with blood. There were corpses lying on the ground one after another. These corpses were all her incomparable. familiar person.

They are her relatives, her elders, and her senior brothers.

She covered her mouth and could hardly breathe. All she could smell was blood.

The figure slowly turned around, and it was a face that was very familiar to her.

It was my sister. She was covered in blood, holding a knife in her hand and smiling sweetly.

……You came.

She smiled, raised the knife, and the cold light struck her, causing blood to fly.

…

Nan Shizhi opened her eyes and broke into a cold sweat.

A gust of cold wind blew on her face. She looked outside and saw a cold wind blowing from the dark mountains. Cold sweat wet her hair on her forehead. After the wind blew, she suddenly woke up.

Just a nightmare.

However, she was terrified that this nightmare would become a reality.

Three days ago, during her hard training, she broke through to the first level of transcendence in less than a week.

It's not that she hasn't entered a stress period, but she has been suppressing herself. This time due to family changes, she was also stimulated. After entering the stress period, she entered the extraordinary realm after several days of seclusion.

After that, he left Kyoto and chased his sister all the way.

I heard the news about my sister here, so I chased her non-stop. The family was worried, so they sent two guards to follow her to act as drivers and bodyguards.

"We're almost here, miss." Miyazawa, who was driving, said, "We're not far away from Mount Blackfa."

"Hefa Mountain... I remember there is a temple near here?"

"Miss, it's not a temple... there is a demon market here, and the person in charge of managing it is a demon named Hebozhu."

"Demon?"

"The demon is also a type of alien race. It has been here for sixty years. Although its sphere of influence is limited to this area, it is quite influential. It is said that it also has quite a network of connections in Nagoya."

"He is obviously a monster, but he was not beheaded."

"The shogunate, Onmyogliao, and Shinto Palace also turned a blind eye to this. Maybe after a while, he can get the canonization of eight million gods."

"It seems that there is such a theory." Nan Shizhi held her forehead: "So my sister is currently in this demon market?"

"According to speculation, this should be the case."

"Then let's..."

After discussing together, Nan Shizhi entered the demon market. After walking a short distance, he saw the lights and colorful lights all around and it was quite lively.

I went to a roadside shop and inquired about it, and the middle-aged man who was cooking monja-yaki casually replied: "Of course, the owner of the shop is getting married, so it's naturally very lively."

"Getting married?" Nan Shizhi asked: "Is this the owner of Hefang? He didn't get married until he was over sixty years old..."

"No, no, no, Master Hefang is already over a hundred years old. This must be his twentieth marriage."

"What?!" Nan Shizhi was shocked: "More than twenty times?"

Although Fusang is also a polygamist, more than twenty marriages are still beyond her acceptable limit.

"The owner of the shop is like this. Every once in a while, he will capture and marry nearby girls, dozens of them at a time." The boss said casually: "No girl from outside has dared to come here for a while. It's a good thing you came to this lady." It’s quite late, eh? Miss, do you want your text to be burned?”

Although Minami Shizhi paid, she didn't ask for anything. She turned around and left, heading straight to the mountainside not far away. The red lanterns hung all the way to the mansion on the mountain.

"I have a bad feeling." Nan Shizhi kept walking.

"Are you worried about... well, your sister getting married?" Miyazawa hurriedly changed his words midway, and he was still used to calling her "Miss."

"How could my sister agree to marry such a river boss? Nine times out of ten, she was forced to do so!" Minami Shizhi strode quickly: "I have to find it quickly..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone shouting ‘fire’ not far away.

The mansion at the end of the big red lantern was burning with a large red fire. The flames shot up into the sky, and the dark mountains and forests were illuminated bright red.

Miyazawa asked strangely: "Is there a fire on this day? I'm afraid the whole mountain will be set on fire."

"Set the mountain on fire and sit in jail..." Kumamoto on the side also shook his head and said.

Nan Shizhi's footsteps paused for a second, and the next moment he rushed against the crowd and rushed towards the mountain. The two bodyguards looked at each other helplessly and had no choice but to follow them.

…

In the burning mansion.

Amemiya Mahiru held the Kaisame Knife and stepped on the Kabozhu's belly. The knife had already penetrated its throat, and blood flowed along the blade.

The Lord of the River was huge, like a giant catfish, but the knife penetrated its throat and directly severed its spine.

It was already unable to move, and its lower body, except for its neck, was completely stiff.

This is a trick used by experienced fishermen to kill fish alive.

She did not pull out the Kuaiyu knife in a hurry, but used the knife to pull down, stepping on Hefangzhu's belly and moving downwards. At the same time, she drove the knife to make a gap, and cut open Hefangzhu's belly alive. Under the thick oily skin, It had an extremely huge stomach. After it was cut open, the viscous liquid and blood surged out from it. After the stomach bag was cut open, three living people rolled out of it.

The three brides all fainted, but there was no fear of their lives because they had not had time to digest.

The marriage of Lord Hefang is real, but its purpose is not only to marry, but also to eat people.

Therefore, the brides who had been married one after another before were all ruined and eaten alive... After Lin Lin's total calculation, at least hundreds of people were devoured by it.

But because it manages the demon market here, it is safe and sound, and others turn a blind eye and let it go.

Hundreds of people, is that a lot?

In fact, it's not that much...it only ate a few hundred people over several decades, which is nothing compared to the people who died on the battlefield.

But hundreds of people also mean hundreds of families, and the death of each person means a tragedy for a family.

The weight of hundreds of lives is not heavy, but it is not light either.

There is no need to keep a man-eating monster alive.

Amamiya Mahiru raised his sword expressionlessly. He had already killed so many people and he didn't mind killing another demon.

Unable to listen to the threats and begging for mercy from the Hefang Lord, he chopped it with his knife and made a pop sound, just like cutting off a fish head.

Blood dyed half of her arm red.

"It smells like fish." Amemiya Mahiru waved her hand in disgust.

The other living girls either hugged each other and cried, or rushed up to beat the corpse of the river owner. They picked up everything at hand and started to cut up the dead fish.

But soon Amamiya Mahiru calmly stopped them, noticed that the surroundings were burning with flames, and arranged for them to escape immediately.

The Lord of Hefang was dead, and the fly-camped dogs under his command quickly fled in all directions.

Originally, Amamiya Mahiru planned to take the initiative to fight out, but found that his fighting spirit was misplaced.

This rabble has no intention of bringing up the butcher knife... In fact, even the river master is not a powerful character, he is just a man-eating fish monster.

A second-level monster is equivalent to a second-level ferocious beast. It is stronger than a human being of the same level, but it is by no means a match for a third-level extraordinary... and can be easily dealt with.

Moreover, the Lord of Kawabo, before Amamiya Mahiru took action to kill him, did not notice at all... he was ridiculously weak, far less difficult to deal with than Minami Teru.

Now Amemiya Mahiru is very doubtful, does this fish monster really have such flexible skills?

Or is it just a target, a black glove?

The one who really controls the demon market is not the Lord Hefang... all of this is a simple exchange of interests.

"Thinking about it this way, this country is really rotten to the marrow... It cannot be saved by a knife or a stun shotgun."

Amamiya Mahiru's blood revitalized the rain sword, and after ending this passionless battle, she planned to retire as an assassin.

But just as she was about to leave, there was a sound coming through the fire.

"elder sister!"

Nan Shizhi stood outside the burning attic. A broken beam fell down, blocking her way forward. Two bodyguards hurriedly grabbed her left and right hands.

"Shiori?"

Amemiya Mahiru turned sideways, used her heavenly eye to confirm who it was, and then muttered in a low voice: "You actually came after me."

I had heard this prophecy from Mr. Destiny before, and I still didn't believe that she could really find her. This child was as stubborn as ever.

Amamiya Mahiru was actually a little happy, but she hid her smile and said in a calm and indifferent tone: "What are you doing here?"

"Sister, let me take you back!"

"Go back? Where to go?" She shook her head and said, "That's no longer my home. I've never had a home from the beginning."

"Sister, don't be so stubborn."

"I'm not the one who's stubborn, it's your grandfather who's stubborn, and it's my father who's weak. I've already said that it's impossible for me to go back. Even the two bodyguards around you know this... The Nan family and I are There is no possibility of reconciliation." Amamiya Mahiru couldn't help but sigh softly: "It's time for you to grow up, Shiori, and stop being like a child, thinking that you can get everything by acting coquettishly."

Nan Shizhi clenched her palms: "I'm not acting like a baby anymore, I'm just..."

"Just what? Do you just think that relying on your persuasion can calm all hatred? Or do you think that relying on words can make me go back with you to admit my mistake to Nan Shihui, and then agree to marry him to the Kazama family and become a benefit? A victim of marriage?" Amemiya Mahiru suppressed the ridicule in her tone, but she could not help but reveal her cynicism: "That's enough, Shiori, the world will not change because of your wishful thinking. The Nan family and I are already enemies. It’s time for you to recognize the reality! Don’t make me repeat it again!”

Nan Shizhi gritted her teeth: "I don't agree...I don't agree to your leaving."

"You are like an unreasonable child, but now is not the time for anyone to forgive you for being willful."

"No matter what you say, I will take you back!"

"It seems like a waste of words."

"Grandpa is dead! My father is also timid!" Nan Shizhi said loudly: "Then I will become the head of the Nan family. I will take good care of you! I will not let anyone hurt you again!"

Amamiya Mahiru's expression relaxed a little, and her frozen tone thawed a little: "You..."

"So, come back with me, sister." Nan Shizhi said seriously: "I will protect you, this time, for sure!"

Amamiya Mahiru sighed softly: "..."

Nan Shizhi's eyes were full of hope, but what she got was another rejection.

Mahiru shook his head again: "Go back, Shiori."

Nan Shizhi's eyes were even more confusing and sad: "Why? Don't you believe me?"

"I want to believe you can do it, but... in the future I expect, there is no place for the Nan family!"

Amamiya Mahiru's expression dispelled the confusion and nostalgia, and she became determined and unshakable again: "I already have a more important goal to achieve...I have a back that I must chase, and I may not be able to reach it even if I spend my whole life. How can we continue to stay where we are?"

The flames burned along the floor and ceiling, a large number of broken wood fell down, raising smoke, dust and sparks, and thick fog gradually filled the sight.

Amamiya Mahiru turned around in the flames, faced the moonlight, and walked away slowly.

"My sweet, silly, stubborn sister."

"Childhood is over, we have to grow up."

"Sister, take the first step."
