Ultra cubs, start killing

——The master will be here soon——

——This samurai’s life is about to end——

The warrior closed his eyes and sat there quietly as if frozen, paying no attention to the whispers among the trees.

——Why hasn’t the master come over yet——

——If we can absorb the carrion of this warrior, our leaves will surely bloom a more brilliant vermilion in autumn——

The trees began to restless again.

Ah.

A smile appeared on the warrior's lips.

Because he, like the trees growing in this forest, is waiting for the owner of this forest, an evil ghost, to appear.

suddenly.

The sound of the wind suddenly stopped, and the trees became quiet. It was as if everything had been wiped out in an instant, and the forest was shrouded in silence.

In the blink of an eye, the warrior seemed to notice something. He immediately stood up and jumped from the tree to the ground with lightning speed.

Snap.

With a muffled sound, a piece of the big tree that the samurai was sitting on had been cut out. Fortunately, the samurai had quick eyesight and quick body, otherwise he would have been cut into a puddle of flesh and no longer human form. The samurai pulled out the tree. Saber, shouted:

"Evil ghost, show yourself."

"Hehehe."

The laughter that came from nowhere echoed darkly in the forest.

"Hahahaha, it seems you are very conceited about your own skills."

The owner of the voice finally appeared in front of the samurai. He was slender, with good features, and his shoulder-length white hair seemed to be able to pass through the light. At first glance, no one would associate this handsome boy with a man-eating ghost, but The samurai was not fooled by his appearance. What he saw was the terrifying aura hidden in the evil ghost's empty eyes, and the warrior couldn't help but become nervous.

I'm afraid this ghost will be difficult to deal with...

The samurai has fought countless ghosts and monsters in his life, and the experience of each battle has honed his intuition that is different from ordinary people. Intuition tells the samurai that this time his opponent needs to be careful.

A drop of sweat ran across the warrior's brow. The owner of the forest seemed to see through the warrior's nervousness, with a arrogant smile on his face and asked the warrior:

"Samurai, let me ask you, why do you want to kill me?"

"Because you feed on people, which is harmful to nature."

Hearing the warrior's answer, the evil ghost smiled even more unscrupulously:

"It's ridiculous. If that's the case, what about you humans?"

"...."

"Humans kill and fight all day long, destroying ethics, and committing heinous crimes. The creatures you slaughter, and the crimes you commit, are any less than my ghost clan?"

After saying that, the evil spirit looked at the samurai, as if the samurai was pitiful.

"My ghost tribe does hurt people just to eat. Just because if we don't eat people, our own lives will not be saved. But what about humans? You will just keep repeating meaningless killings. In my opinion, you are the ones like this The worst wretch in the world."

After listening to the evil spirit's talk, the samurai was relieved from his nervousness.

[Ghosts are talkative]

They are good at saying that they are righteous, taking advantage of their opponents' doubts and hesitations to attack their opponents' hearts. The evil ghosts in front of them are just the same ghosts. He is not much different from most of the ghosts that the samurai killed during his wandering life. The samurai smiled and said to the evil ghost in front of him:

"I have listened to your eloquent talk. However, the reason why I killed the ghosts has nothing to do with what you said."

Upon hearing this reply, the evil spirit seemed to smell a hint of danger.

"how do I say this?"

The warrior smiled slightly and replied:

"I kill ghosts and monsters out of fate."

"Fate?"

"That's right. It's your fate to be born as an evil ghost, and it's also your fate to be addicted to killing all day long."

"In that case, is your destiny to kill ghosts?"

The evil ghost's beautiful face gradually revealed an expression of hatred.

"You, are you... that Ida Jingryu?"

The demon's jade-like fingers stretched out with steel-hard claws. In response, the warrior nodded slightly and replied.

"Exactly down there."

"You bastard! So many of my companions died tragically in your hands. This forest will be your grave today!"

"I am wandering around the world with no family or relatives. I don't need to erect a grave or engrave a monument."

"Stop talking to me!"

The evil spirit screamed loudly and rushed towards Ida Iryu at a speed that ordinary people could not see.

Naturally, Ida Iryu knew the evil ghost's moves and routines very well, and Ida Iryu's sword made a sharp sound.

In an instant, there was a strong wind in the forest.

The trees rustled and swayed.

Only a miserable cry was heard, which resounded throughout the forest and then disappeared suddenly.

The evil ghost's limbs had already left his body, and his flesh was cut terribly.

"Well...Dragon..."

When the evil ghost was dying, he reluctantly shouted the name of his enemy. In the end, he seemed to have a smile on his face.

"I'm waiting for you in hell."

After saying this, the evil ghost died of anger.

Speaking of which, this evil ghost is also seeking his own destruction. If he didn't talk too much with Jinglong and took the head of Jinglong, perhaps Ida Jinglong would have been cut into pieces and became his food. The luck of drawing a sword to kill ghosts.

After Ida Iryu put the knife back into its sheath, he let out a long sigh of relief.

——Can he still walk? ——

Jingda Jinglong raised his feet to move forward. But suddenly, his vision became blurry.

Ida Jinglong suddenly fell to the ground, and his clothes were engulfed in blood red bit by bit.

It turned out that a nail as long as a filament was pierced deeply into Ida Iryu's chest. That is the masterpiece left by evil spirits.

——Both sides suffer, as expected! ——

The leaves of the trees began to make noise again, a sign of their joy.

Ida Iryu's consciousness became more and more vague, and he felt that death was coming towards him.

Turns out this is what death feels like.

At this moment, the sound of the trees suddenly stopped.

Ida Jinglong saw a figure in front of his eyes.

"Is it a person? Or..."

In a daze, what Ida Jingryu saw was long black hair, snow-white skin, and a lonely face.

Is it a woman?

The woman slowly walked towards Ida Jingryu, but Ida Jingryu could no longer move. She put her hand to Ida Jingryu's cheek. Ida Jingryu felt the cold breath on the woman's hand, and he also smelled a sweet woman's fragrance.

The woman said something to Ida Jingryu, but Ida Jingryu didn't hear the woman's words. He was already unconscious, and the trees were moving without the wind.

But at this moment, a pure white light flashed, and time abruptly moved from ancient times to the modern era when TPC was established. In the middle of the night, two people named 'Tetsuji Nomiya' and 'Yuki Sumi' walked heavily in the forest. Wandering around.

"It's almost okay here, right?"

After Miyuki finished speaking, Nomiya shook his head after thinking for a moment. Seeing Nomiya's reaction, Miyuki was a little impatient, but he could only continue walking forward. They had been walking for almost fifteen minutes after entering the forest. . Fatigue has already hit Nomiya.

As a student, Nomiya was a member of the judo club and participated in the National Sports Conference. However, despite being a brave man, Nonomiya has graduated for more than ten years now. Now he has a loose belly and is becoming more and more concerned about the size of his pants. He felt increasingly that the "burden" on his back was extremely heavy.

The spiritual level is no exception....

After all, the burden on his back was his wife half a day ago, and it was Nomiya himself who strangled her to death.

"Ah, I think it's nice here."

Miyuki's voice came from the front again, and Nomiya still couldn't understand it. No matter what, they had killed someone. He was very... no, it should be said that he was extremely frightened.

However, although the tragedy of strangling someone happened right in front of him, his little lover, who was more than a round younger than Nomiya, was not moved at all.

"We still have to find a place to bury her."

Her tone was calm, as if it was not a big deal, and the two were naturally accomplices in the murder, but Nomiya really didn't expect Miyuki to be so calm. This made him marvel at the unfathomable terror of women.

Nonomiya dragged his heavy steps to the place Miyuki mentioned and took a look. It was indeed quite suitable. It was an incredible space. In this depression, there is a circle of trees growing. These trees form a huge circle in the depression, which looks like the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

"Hey, then take a look at this place again. This should be fine, right?"

Nomiya carefully checked the surroundings and concluded that this place was definitely not an artificial space, and it was not a park or resting place.

Suddenly, there was no wind and the trees moved.

Nomiya felt a chill on his back.

“Oh, can you hurry up!

Miyuki kept urging, and Nomiya finally made up his mind and put down the bag containing the body. Nomiya took the shovel handed over by Miyuki and started to move.

The forest soil is hard and heavy.

Miyuki was right, it would be dawn soon if it didn't come soon.

Nomiya had no time to think anymore, so he could only start digging wholeheartedly.

The trees in the forest looked down, and the trees made some noises from time to time, seeming to be particularly happy.

the other side....

With a "clang" sound, a small stone hit the window.

"Haruna, it's time to go."

After Yumeko Fukurum saw the situation outside the window, she urged Haruna to leave quickly.

"Um....."

Although she promised, Matsushita Haruna didn't want to go out in the middle of the night to participate in this exploration. The matter also started from the argument between Yumeko and Kentaro at breakfast today. Kentaro thinks there are ghosts in the 'forest'. But Mengzi scoffed at this view, and the disagreement between the two began.

In Moriki Academy, Yumeko is classified as a big sister. Kentaro is one year younger than her and is a fifth-grade student. In school, she often laughed at Kentaro in front of everyone. On the day of the argument, all the teachers were present, and it was Kentaro who finally gave in. But later, Kentaro found Yumeko again and said to her:

"If you don't believe it, do you dare to go to the stage in the forest at three o'clock tonight and try it?"

According to legend, around three o'clock every night, there will be ghosts of the dead wandering in the "forest". Legend has it that in ancient times, there was an evil ghost who lived in the "forest" and made a living by robbing villagers and eating people. The evil spirit was subdued by a samurai who was passing through the village. But after the evil spirit was subdued, the souls of the people eaten by the evil spirit still could not get their retribution and wandered around a circular low-lying land in the center of the forest every night. Local people call this circular low-lying land the stage.

Regarding Kentaro's proposal, Mengzi initially found it troublesome and ignored it. But Kentaro didn't give in this time.

"You're just a boaster, but you're actually afraid!"

After saying this, Mengzi naturally didn't want to admit defeat, and she immediately agreed to this adventure. But it might be unfair for only the two of them to participate, and another person other than the parties involved should be a witness. In the end, Haruna was chosen as the witness. The reason was simple, because Haruna and Mengzi were roommates living in the same dormitory. Haruna, like Mengzi, thought that the saying that the ghosts of the dead wandered in the forest in the middle of the night was just superstition.

But the "forest" was dim during the day, and there was a gloomy atmosphere. Haruna had some resistance in her heart to choose to go to such a forest in the middle of the night.

"Mengmeng, I think we should not go?"

Hearing Haruna's words, Mengzi's expression became stern.

"How can you say that now!"

"But the day after tomorrow is a special day! What if something goes wrong and the teacher doesn't let us attend?"

After Haruna said that, Yumeko finally understood that two GUTS members would visit the students at Moriki Academy the day after tomorrow, and Yumeko and Haruna had been looking forward to this day.

Yumeko's father originally worked in the bioengineering team of the Earth Peace Coalition TPC.

One day, her father's remains were suddenly sent home. Yumeko's father was always busy with research work and rarely showed up at home. Because of this, Yumeko actually didn't know how to face her father's death.

On the day of the funeral, Yumeko's mother cried like a tearful person.

The people attending the funeral were also sobbing.

But Yumeko didn't cry.
