Lu Li and Kikyo once again set out on a journey to Edo Castle.

However, unlike the last trip for two, this time the journey became a trip for three people because of the addition of a poor monster.

"Fog, Mist"

"My name is Wu Nai."

After being bound by the Binding Dao for four days, the demon girl finally spoke without Lu Li asking her anything. She immediately reported everything she knew.

——It was at this moment that Kikyo realized that the reason why Lu Li used the binding technique to seal the monster's mouth was because he was afraid that she would reveal the things about Edo Castle, not because he was afraid that she would cry out in pain after being tortured.

"I was originally a maid of the Uesugi family... One night, I accidentally overheard the conversation between the master of the family and those Yin Yang masters."

"Then I was killed."

The monster named Kirina tells her origin.

It is worth noting that"Kirina" here is her name before she died - as a monster, she should probably be called"Hashihime".���The water ghost who died and stood on the bridge cursing all passers-by. When she was alive, she was drowned because she overheard the confidential conversation between the lord and the Yin-Yang master. After her death, she appeared on the bridge and became a water ghost who dragged people into the water.

As for what kind of secrets she overheard that made her be so cruel?

"I... forgot."

Under the expectant gaze of the little witch, the monster named Wuzhi gave a surprising answer.

——But this is a reasonable answer.

Not every monster can clearly remember the origin of their birth.

To be more precise, the woman named Kirina is dead. The monster standing here now is the one born from that woman.

She has forgotten most of her life, and only remembers her tragic death and what she had to do even if she had to cross death - to kill people on the bridge.

"Perhaps, you can still look forward to the so-called secret."

Looking at the distressed look of the female monster, Lu Li comforted her very rarely.

"When you remember the secret and know the reason why you became a monster, maybe you can grow into a more powerful monster."

……

The communication between Lu Li and Kirina ended here.

The main reason was that Kirina didn't seem to want to talk to Lu Li.

In front of Lu Li, she showed a deep fear - perhaps the previous ghost experiment left her with an indelible psychological shadow, or the long-term ghost bondage had made her accustomed to silence in front of Lu Li.

In short, facing Lu Li, she even had to breathe carefully.

But her performance in front of Kikyo was very different.

Perhaps the same gender reduced the sense of alienation between them, or perhaps it was because Kikyo's cute appearance like a porcelain doll inspired her girlish heart - or perhaps it was because they were more or less"oppressed" by Lu Li, so they had a lot of common language.

In short, after a period of slightly awkward silence. The communication between Kikyo and the female monster began to deepen, and the friendship was also increasing at a visible speed.

Kikyo especially liked to listen to Kirina's stories about the Uesugi family.

The maids of wealthy families are always knowledgeable. The miraculous things she described were so bizarre and magnificent that Kikyo had never heard of them, or even dared not imagine them.

Lu Li was eavesdropping on their conversation.

But Lu Li's attention was not on the exquisite meals, beautiful clothes, videos, or the so-called"elegant" entertainment activities.

"The current head of the Uesugi family is Uesugi Asanoda.

This is the information Lu Li confirmed from Kirina.

It is also the first"anchor point" for the time traveler to understand this era.":

"He is the last head of the Uesugi family in Ogigayatsu"

"No wonder Edo Castle became like this"

……

This is a theory that has never been proven.

But relevant practitioners believe in this theory.

Studies have shown that the activities of monsters are closely related to human activities.

The period when monsters cause chaos on a large scale is often a period of turmoil and disaster in human society.

Natural disasters and wars are important factors.

And Uesugi Amasa, the last head of the Hojo clan who was destined to hand over Edo Castle to the later Hojo clan, is probably inseparable from this disaster.

"What role did he play in this disaster?"

"Are they the ones who created the disaster or the ones who were swept into it?"

"Or, is he simply a victim?"

All kinds of conspiracies and tricks kept flashing in Lu Li's mind.

Thanks to the explosion of the Internet in his previous life, there are always some strange things in the brain of the time traveler, which can almost deal with all the bizarre situations in the world.

But in the next moment, these thoughts were instantly extinguished without leaving any trace.

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Li never cared about any conspiracy or trickery.

Because he knew that these things had nothing to do with him.

His goal was clear from the beginning to the end - since the enemy's goal was to gather all the humans in Musashi in Edo City, he only had to do the opposite and disperse all the humans in Edo City. As for how to disperse?

"There are two ways."

One day later, outside Edo Castle.

Looking at the city that was still shrouded in black and blood, and whose appearance became more distorted and unreal than before, Lu Li said two plans:

"First, go to the city and try to persuade the people to expose the conspiracy of the monsters and the Yin-Yang masters - if they have a conspiracy."

This is a normal plan, and it is also what Kikyo agrees with, or it is the first plan she thought of.

She even planned to find her family first after entering the city, and then get in touch with other villagers through her family to establish the most basic trust relationship with the people in the city.

This plan sounds very good.

"But I have a better plan"

"What?"

Looking at Lu Li's high spirits, the little witch asked expectantly.

——Then she regretted it

"As long as Edo Castle is gone, the people in the city will have no place to gather."

"Conspiracies and tricks will naturally vanish into thin air."

"???"
