Northwest Town, a barren land.
The scarcity of rain makes it difficult to grow grass and crops all year round, and people make a living by trading with caravans coming and going.
On top of that, it’s far from Kyoto Prefecture and almost uncontrolled by the government.
This has also led to many cases that have not been resolved, and this disappearance is no different.
Within days, six women disappeared in quick succession, all of whom had a common denominator of their young age, mostly around 18.
Many residents chose to leave, making the town even more desolate.
The bizarre incident eventually attracted the attention of the Ghost Killer Team.
At this time, two Xiao Suo’s figures came here.
“Mr. Beidou, the mission location is ahead.”
“Hmm.”
Butterfly Shinobu held a map and carefully marked it.
Along the way, without Beidou’s orders, she volunteered to be a guide, but fortunately she didn’t get lost.
“Patience, let’s go find a place to rest first.”
Hearing Beidou’s words, he couldn’t help but be a little puzzled: “Mr. Beidou, don’t we need to understand the situation?” ”
She meant to ask the inhabitants of this place for the traces of ghosts.
Beidou shook his head and walked into a family wine house, while saying succinctly, “Do you think they will believe you?” ”
As soon as these words came out, Shinobu also realized that something was wrong.
There is no need to mention ghosts, they may not even know about the ghost killing team, and it is difficult to ask for something valuable.
Butterfly Shinobu followed Hokuto to find a table and sit down, and ordered two side dishes.
When several drunks saw her, they wanted to talk to her, but when they saw the rapier on Shinobu’s waist, they immediately woke up.
In fact, since the ninth year of Meiji, the island nation has been implementing a ban on swords.
According to the regulations, except for members of the royal family and the military, other people were forbidden to carry knives in public, which later developed into the seizure of all controlled knives and the prohibition of private fighting.
This is also reflected in the original plot.
When Tanjiro and his party board the Infinity Train, Inosuke hits the train with his head, which attracts the arrest of the operators.
Zengyi told Tanjiro that the Ghost Killing Squad has always been an organization that is not recognized by the government, so it does not have the right to carry knives, especially in places like train stations, and it is not allowed to move around at will.
Therefore, just now, a few drunks saw the sword of butterfly ninja, and quickly tilted their heads, for fear of getting into trouble.
“Mr. Hokuto, they…”
Shinobu frowned, but found that Beidou was still gently siping the wine glass, and had no choice but to give up.
Boredly, she braced her chin with her hands and waited for night to fall.
Time passed minute by minute, and it was finally dark.
Butterfly Shinobu noticed that when he arrived at You, the izakaya that had just been full of people suddenly became empty.
And the owner who was wiping the wine glass at the front desk also had a faint intention of sending off guests.
“Endure, let’s go.”
“Huh?”
Shinobu raised his head and saw that Hokuto had already picked up the Nikki knife.
In his clear eyes, the figure of a young woman was reflected.
Butterfly Shinobu put two copper coins on the table and hurriedly followed, while the woman also turned into a corner.
When Shinobu arrived, Hokuto was staring at a house.
At the same time, he was still talking to himself.
“Is this the place?”
“What’s wrong, Hokuto-san?”
Butterfly Shinobu trotted over, not understanding Hokuto’s intentions: “Have you already discovered the ghost?” ”
Hokuto didn’t answer her, but stood quietly in the doorway and closed his eyes
In desperation, Butterfly Shinobu had to stand aside, holding his sword and waiting.
In the process, she couldn’t help but peek at Beidou and looked at the man who might become a pillar with doubts in her heart.
Anyone who confronts an unknown existence has only two thoughts: fear and curiosity, just like the attitude of later generations towards black holes.
Obviously, Butterfly Shinobu has already experienced the former, and only a strong curiosity remains.
She still remembered when she first met with Hokuto…
How impulsive he was, he almost pulled out the Nikki knife.
It’s good that Mr. Hokuto doesn’t hold revenge, phew.
Just as the butterfly was thinking about it, Beidou suddenly opened his eyes.
“Here he is.”
Before the words fell, Shinobu had not yet come to his senses, and in the next second, a scream suddenly sounded in his ears.
That voice came from the house behind him.
“Mr. Hokuto, there is a situation!”
Butterfly Ren hurriedly twitched his rapier but found that Hokuto’s figure had long disappeared.
She rolled over and jumped over the courtyard wall, and what she saw was a strange scene.
In a room in the house, the figure of a woman is reflected in the paper window, and what makes people feel even more strange is….
Beside the woman, there was also a black shadow that kept swaying.
“Rustle!”
At this moment, a sword light broke through the window.
Just listening to the tearing sound, the paper window has turned into fragments, fluttering in the air.
Immediately afterwards, there was a groan in the room!
A black shadow like a snake crawled into the house at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to catch, and quickly disappeared in front of it.
Seeing this scene, Beidou’s eyes narrowed into a slit.
Because that’s the goal of his trip.
“Are you all right?”
Hearing Beidou’s inquiry, the woman who had just enjoyed the moment of horror subconsciously shook her head.
And Butterfly Shinobu finally arrived at the scene.
“Chase!”
