I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

After once again killing the chasing beast, Shiki finally reached the end of his strength, and it was difficult to even maintain a standing position. The kimono on his body was also torn on the left and missing a corner on the right due to the bites of the beast.

"Huh~huh~ I finally got it done, but this time it's more powerful than the previous times. It took so much effort."

"But mom still won." Wei Na, who was hiding aside, trotted forward and used her body to provide guidance to her mother.

"Yes, because I am your mother." Shi said matter-of-factly, "But if I do it again, I might not be able to hold on anymore. How far am I from where you want me to be?"

"It's very close." Wei Na supported Shi and walked one step at a time, "Ah, you can already see the light, and you can also hear strange sounds."

Shi raised his head, his scattered pupils gathered again. Sure enough, there was a hint of brightness at the end of his groggy vision.

It was already dark when the two returned, and it was even darker after a period of running away. This is a secluded mountain forest that is rarely visited by people, and it is particularly sensitive to line changes.

After walking a few more steps, the voice came over.

Dang, clang, clang, one after another, weak but with a unique rhythm. This is not a sound that should be found in nature.

The mother and daughter were shocked. With the guidance of light and sound, the road is much easier to walk, and the heavy steps can't help but feel a little lighter.

Within a few minutes, the two found the source of the light - it was a window. Bright firelight came from the wooden window, and a clanging sound also came from the window.

"There are actually people living here?"

Shi's eyes widened. Even though I knew about Mina's abilities, I was still very surprised when I saw the real thing with my own eyes.

Having windows naturally means having a house. The house is also made of wood. It is similar to the style of the main house of the Yangyi family and is a traditional Japanese building. But the scale is much smaller, only one-tenth or less.

There is a fence made of woven bamboo around the house. There are also wooden tables and chairs in the courtyard, and a small vegetable garden is also set up. It can be seen that the owner is very attentive to the layout of the house and courtyard.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

While Shiki was observing, Mina had already relaxed her voice.

The sound of "dang-dang-dang" stopped for an instant, and then a man's voice sounded.

"Master, there seems to be someone."

"Where do people come from in this kind of wilderness? It's this time again. Don't be distracted, it's almost done."

The former is young and the latter is old. They have the same characteristics - full of vitality.

The young man continued: "That's right, maybe I heard wrong."

Hearing this, Wei Na quickly shouted: "Sorry to bother you."

"No, Master, there really is someone!"

"Well, I heard it too. Why don't you go ask what's going on?"

"Yes, Master."

The clanging sound started again.

A few seconds later, the door opened and a strange boy came out.

The young man is very handsome, with brown-red hair and brown-red eyes, giving people a gentle and transparent feeling. However, the boy's body is not as soft as his face. It has sharp edges and corners, strong lines and full of muscles - he is the one with the legendary handsome features and strong back and strong waist.

Why can you see it so clearly? Because the boy who opened the door was wearing a pair of big pants, and other parts of his body were exposed to the air. This is a winter night with temperatures below freezing, not a hot summer day. What's even more exaggerated is that the boy's chest and forehead are still sweating. The temperature of the sweat interacts with the low temperature of the environment to evaporate bursts of water vapor, so it is said that this is a strange boy.

Perhaps because the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the house was too large, the young man shuddered and said, "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

"My mother and I are being chased by wild beasts. Can you let us hide here?" Shi said straight to the point.

"Beast? How come... Huh?"

The boy's first reaction was disbelief, but before he finished speaking, he saw claw marks and teeth marks on Shiki's clothes.

"That's strange. There shouldn't be any ferocious animals around here."

"It's true. Ah, they seem to be chasing me again. I heard their voices."

"Is there really a beast?"

After hearing Wei Na's words, the young man quickly listened and found that he could indeed hear the faint roar of the earth beast. He immediately stopped doubting and said to the two of them.

"Come in first. Wild animals are afraid of light. If you are here, they should not dare to approach. You can rest peacefully. I will go and get you a glass of water and some food first."

"Wait a minute." Shi quickly stopped, "That's not an ordinary beast. It may not be afraid of light. You and your master -"

"It's okay if you're not afraid of light. It's just a beast. If you dare to rush in, kill it for midnight snack."

The boy waved his hand nonchalantly, but suddenly felt his calf being poked by something. When he looked down, he found that it was Wei Na's finger.

"Little sister, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Na didn't speak. He moved his finger and pointed outside the fence. A pair of red and bloodthirsty eyes could be seen in the distance.

"Why are there so many!" The young man's confident expression froze on his face, "Master, Master, come out quickly, there are wild beasts, many wild beasts!"

"Isn't it just a beast? What's so strange? You can kill it as you like. It will give you extra food." As expected of a master and a disciple, even the reactions are the same.

"No, Master, there are too many beasts and we can't kill them." The young man became anxious.

"If you can't kill me, just guard the door and hold on for five minutes. I still have to go to the last step. If I stop now, these two days will be in vain."

"Five minutes?" The young man glanced at the approaching beast again and said no more.

Seeing his appearance, Shi squeezed his leg with his left hand, held the dagger in his right hand, and stood up with force.

"Madam, you..." The young man was slightly startled.

"There are too many wild beasts. I'm here to attract their attention. Taking advantage of this time, please run away with Mina." Shiki had already prepared for the worst.

"Run? No, no, you misunderstood. I didn't think about running, I was just thinking about what knife to use."

As the boy spoke, he walked towards a corner of the yard, where there was a large wooden barrel covered with black cloth. When he opened the cover, there were all kinds of knives scattered around inside.

Nodachi, Nonagi sword, Odachi, saber, katana, Iai sword, wakizashi, tanto... There are all types of Japanese swords that you can name, and the cold light reflected by the dazzling blades is brilliant. eyes.

"This, this is!"

"Actually, I'm a knife maker who specializes in making knives - ah, even though I'm just an apprentice."

The young man took out a machete and two swords, and walked slowly outside the hospital.

"The 27th Senko Muramasa, Shirou is the one!"

PS; The man you want is here.
