$420, Two Sly Ghosts (2/2)
Ping Lingzi didn't expect to get any valuable information.
After all, the man opposite him has most likely become a ghost servant.
However,
What she didn't expect was that her words seemed to have touched the other person, causing him to murmur: "Yeah, why didn't I become Li Wei?
What is the reason?
It’s been so long that I can’t remember..."
An Gang's face showed pain,
He repeated the process of 'escape' countless times,
So much so that even what he really wanted to escape from was gradually erased from his mind as he continued to 'escape'.
‘The ghost servant’s memory is always like this, intermittent.
Sometimes they are sober and sometimes confused.
He is already a poor creature who is controlled by Li Jui. ’
An Gang became more and more aware of the symptoms of being a ghost servant.
Ping Lingzi also became more and more convinced that he was Li Gui's servant.
Sudden,
The more he thought about it, the more confused his thoughts became, so that An Gang, who became more and more manic, suddenly raised his head and stared at Ping Lingzi with fierce eyes: "Do you want to play cards or not?"
"Is it just the two of us?"
Ping Lingzi's eyes hesitated.
She has realized that she has been trapped in a cunning game without realizing it.
Want to get out of this game,
It seems like you need to win a game.
In fact, she also has the ability to break this game and not participate in it.
But that was the last resort she would use.
"Two people?"
An Gang emphasized the last word "人".
He looked at Ping Lingzi with a sarcastic look.
Then he looked at the long-eared dwarf old man sitting next to Ping Lingzi, and suddenly fell silent.
No more words were said.
The woman opposite is in the same group as the dwarf old man.
Let the old dwarf join the game,
The situation will only become more unfavorable for An Gang!
He realized this and said nothing.
Ping Lingzi also pursed his lips and remained silent.
She didn't know what the rules of this game using ghost cards were.
If you are stuck in a game,
The evil ghost next to her is the only power she can rely on to break the 'rules of the game'.
Therefore, it is impossible for her to let Tianxiegui participate in the game without knowing anything about it.
At the moment, the two of them had their own thoughts.
They no longer feel that the other person is a human being from the bottom of their hearts.
The scene was at a stalemate for a while.
Yasuzuna looked outside the door frequently - since the long-eared dwarf old man is not the 'third person' who can start this game, Rashomon's Secret will probably arrange for other people to participate in this game, right?
Who is the one?
If there is no third party involved in this game,
Does it also mean that ‘Rashomon Mystery’ is not secretly promoting this game?
In that case, the truth will be even more terrifying.
A cold wind blew in from the door of the house.
The moonlight outside the door is cool,
A dark shadow was cast into the house.
Step, step, step...
Footsteps sounded slowly and slowly.
The tall man, carrying several swords at his waist, stepped closer to the only house with light on.
…
The moonlight was gentle, illuminating the dark surroundings.
The warriors gathered tightly around Su Wu and Minamoto Yoritomo.
They held torches and searched the abandoned village several times, but no trace of the Watanabe Tsuna samurai team was found.
Until now——
A samurai from the Inoue family left the group without permission and walked in the opposite direction to the direction everyone was heading.
The alert Minamoto Yoritomo noticed it immediately. He stared at the samurai who left the team without permission.
I saw the other party walking lightly towards the fork in the village road.
The warrior was no more than ten steps away from the group.
His figure quickly became illusory, leaving only a shadow slowly walking into the shadowy darkness.
Seeing this scene, Minamoto no Yoritomo's pupils shrank, and he immediately reminded Su Wu: "Master Zhuzhao——"
"I saw."
Su Wu nodded.
His figure suddenly disappeared from where he was,
The next moment, the fork in the road where the samurai disappeared appeared.
In just an instant, the warrior's illusory light and shadow were completely swallowed up by darkness.
Su Wu stood at the fork in the road and found nothing.
——It’s not like nothing is gained.
At this moment,
He felt the soil beneath his feet squirming slightly.
There is a very faint and subtle rhyme oozing out from under the feet.
Su Wu turned his head hurriedly and looked at the team a dozen steps away. The figures of the warriors gradually became blurred in his sight——
The soil beneath his feet swallowed his feet silently!
Uh-huh!
Before the soil completely engulfed his body, his body was instantly wrapped in shadow - only his feet wrapped in the soil were not contained by the shadow, and the soil that exuded an extremely light and strange charm was blocked. The invasion of ghostly hands!
Su Wu's eyes narrowed slightly,
He instantly pulled out the big red lotus candle and drew it through the soil wrapping his feet!
Wherever the blade passed, the soil suddenly separated.
The shadow completely enveloped Su Wu's figure.
The next moment, he appeared in front of the warriors again.
"Sir." Minamoto Yoritomo looked at Su Wu who emerged from the shadows, his eyes filled with deep admiration!
It is this method of pulling people into the shadow world,
This allowed them to avoid the patrols of the Longship Country without anyone noticing, and rush to the current location at an extremely fast speed.
However, in this current place,
However, he and others could not find any trace of Watanabe Tsuna's samurai team.
The paper cranes are hovering here, as if they have lost their sense of direction, completely losing their role in guiding the way.
"There may be more than one Li Gui entrenched here."
Su Wu's eyes were stern and he expressed his judgment.
More than one Li Wei? !
Everyone's solemn gazes focused on Su Wu.
"There may be a sly creature hidden in the soil beneath our feet.
It is also possible that the land under our feet has been completely transformed. "Su Wu spoke slowly.
Because he was going to a place adjacent to the "Jade Color Mountain", Su Wu was already a little alert.
The treacherous soil underfoot,
He instinctively judged that it might be related to the 'Jade Mountain Killing Stone Mine'.
"There is another Li Gui,
It seems to change people's cognition invisibly,
Making others do things that go against their principles - the Inoue family samurai who just left may have been bewitched by this Li Wei - the secret Li Wei deliberately lures people to leave the team and walk alone.
These two Li Gui seemed to be cooperating with each other.
But judging carefully, it seems that it is Li Jui in the mud, constantly taking away living people from the hands of Li Jui who is good at distorting cognition.
We have been lingering in this village,
Still nothing was found.
The Watanabe Tsuna samurai team seems to have disappeared from the world - the reason may be due to these two weird things. "Su Wu glanced at the many warriors and continued, "They may be in the soil under our feet.
Or maybe after being distorted by Li Gui,
Went to another world that we can't touch. "
The warriors were silent after hearing this.
If it is the first situation, and the Watanabe Tsuna samurai team is all in the dirt under everyone's feet, these people must have died by now, and there will be no need to explore their whereabouts.
If it is the second case,
Then, whether we want to enter another ‘world that is not accessible to everyone’ is open to question.
Minamoto Yoritomo thought for a while and whispered to Su Wu: "Sir, according to your judgment, if we want to enter that 'world beyond our reach', it seems that we are the only ones who break away from the team and go alone.
Only the cunning one can come out to seduce the lone traveler,
Drag him into another world? "
"That's how it should be."
Su Wu nodded.
"This strange pattern of activity is quite similar to the 'Rashomon Trick'." Minamoto Yoritomo said in a low voice.
“The mystery of Rashomon?
That Li Gui whose arm was cut off by Onikiri? "
Su Wu looked at Minamoto Yoritomo.
Minamoto Yoritomo immediately nodded: "Yes. But to be precise, Tsuna Watanabe holds an Onikiri, which is just one of the arms of a certain image of the 'Rashomon Trick' that was cut off.
According to rumors,
The Rashomon noir has six images: warrior, monk, beauty, thief, woodcutter, and gatekeeper.
It often uses these six images to seduce those with "purer souls".
Inducing those people into Rashomon.
Every time someone steps into the door, a bad guy will be released from Rashomon.
After all the Li Gui under the city gate were released,
Rashomon will be fully revived.
Last time,
Tsuna Watanabe was walking on Suzaku Street at night when he was attacked by the "Rashomon Trick" in the form of a beautiful woman.
He used Onikiri to chop off one of Li Gui's arms. Later, he fell into a trance and became bedridden at home.
One day,
The mystery of Rashomon turned into a monk to help him get rid of the fear in his heart.
He took the opportunity to take that arm back again. "
"It sounds like Rashomon's Lie has extremely high wisdom?" Su Wu frowned. He had never really encountered a 'wisdom' Lie.
Minamoto Yoritomo heard this and shook his head.
"It's just that when it transformed into the six images, it retained some of the behavioral habits of this image.
Moreover, Rashomon's Secret will continue to absorb the consciousness of the undead,
Those consciousnesses will also turn into the 'accumulation' of the six images.
They can say the right words at the right time, and even give people an inscrutable feeling - but they still follow an inherent law. As long as this law is found and the law is reversed, they will not be able to cope with it. Come,
Exposing the evil nature. "
Minamoto no Yoritomo's words gave Su Wu a wake-up call.
He thought of the lost warrior just now. When he passed the fork in the road, there was only an illusory light and shadow continuing to penetrate into the shadowy darkness.
perhaps,
The beast in the mud swallowed up the warrior's body,
The samurai's "intention" was absorbed by what seemed to be the "Rashomon Conspiracy" hidden deep in the darkness.
“What happens after Rashomon is revived?
It only needs to allow people with "pure souls" to enter the door,
It will cause a certain Li Gui under the city gate to be released. This rule is so simple, won't it cause its resurgence to be extremely frequent? "Su Wu asked Minamoto Yoritomo again.
He could understand that what Minamoto Yoritomo meant by 'soul purity',
It should mean that the ‘intentional root’ is relatively strong.
An Gang falls into this category of people.
There is no swordsmith who can have "sympathy between heaven and man" several times, but one with weak mental energy.
"it's not true.
In fact, it is very difficult to induce people with pure souls to enter the gate nowadays. "Minamoto no Yoritomo replied, "Master Jianzhen once suppressed Rashomon, causing its 'rules' to be partially changed."
