People are dying on the pillar, and there is no misery at the beginning

Chapter 240 Extra Volume: ——It's Late
……

at the same time.

Not far from Forging Knife Village.

There are paddy fields all around, only a narrow path in the middle.

Dark clouds have spread here.

"Karma! Karma!"

The crow called "Beihai Taro" flapped its wings and was flying in the sky. He was shouting:
"Right ahead! Right ahead!"

"Quick! Kimura! Quick!"

on the ground.

tread--!
Several fast-running figures flitted across the deserted field.

The passing wind rolled up some dust, and the weeds beside the paddy fields shook slightly.

"Huchi! Huchi!"

Kimura was at the end. He opened his eyes with difficulty, panting heavily, and the backs of Sumire Zaomen, Purgatory and Juro in front of him flickered in his blurred vision.

In terms of physical strength, you really can't keep up with them...

The corners of the eyes turned slightly black, and Kimura knew that he was close to the limit.

At the same time, I was shocked by the distance the ghost ran.

"Ha ha…"

The footsteps gradually became heavy, and Kimura's eyes became dim.

Shang Quannai walked unhurriedly behind the three of them, and he could keep up with them by hopping on tiptoes from time to time.

Glancing at Kimura who was about to faint, he jumped lightly.

pat.

He reached out and picked up Kimura, who was exhausted, and put it on his shoulder.

"Eh...?" Kimura kicked his legs, the feeling of stepping on the air made him slightly startled, and then slowly opened his eyes.

He glanced at Shang Quannai who was carrying him.

"Eh?!!"

Shang Quannai ignored Kimura, he squinted his eyes and stared at the red soul that was constantly expanding not far away.

At this moment, the red soul is slowly getting up from the ground.

Standing opposite the red soul.

It is vaguely, a golden soul.

"laugh."

He couldn't help it, and laughed.

Happy for that ghost's misfortune.

……

……

Near Forge Village.

In front of the crack where the evil spirits hide.

Swish!
The evil ghost got up and jumped in the air. He saw the puppet in front of him and was stunned for a moment.

But the desire to survive in his heart made him move instinctively, and he kicked forward violently!
He kicked hard at the puppet in front of him!

On the soles of the feet, sharp tiger-like claws protrude suddenly!

pong!When the claw collided with the blade, sparks flew everywhere!

The hard touch came from the feet.

The evil spirit subconsciously looked down.

The six arms of the puppet are holding the sun wheel knives, and the six sun wheel knives stand together to block his attack!
The expressionless face was facing him at the moment.

In a trance, the evil ghost didn't see the puppet's face clearly, he was only surprised for a moment.

--What is this…? !

Before he had time to think about it, with the help of the doll's resistance, the evil spirit bent his knees again and kicked out violently!

boom!
Under the reaction force, his body flew backward at high speed!

The puppet's body didn't shake at all because it was stepped on as a springboard.

The evil spirit's eyes were fixed on the doll, seeing that the doll didn't move at all.

Immediately felt bad.

--Oops.

Today, I may have to explain here.

In the heart of the evil ghost, he thought so silently.

next moment.

tread!
The doll's legs leaped forward!In an instant, he came directly below the jumping ghost!
The six sun wheel knives in his hands are tightly held in his hands!

Click, click, click! !

The gears in the body are turning rapidly!The arm of the doll is involved!
Swish!Swish Swish Swish!
The puppet grips the Sun Wheel Knife tightly, and swings the six blades quickly!Like a meat grinder running at high speed, it aimed straight at the evil spirit in mid-air!

So fast!

Before the beast-shaped evil spirit landed in the future, his pupils shrank, but he found that he was in mid-air, and there was nowhere to escape!

A trace of despair enveloped him.

puff!

A few blades of light flashed across the body of the sluggish evil ghost without hindrance.

For an instant.

pat.

The figure of the puppet reappeared behind the evil spirit.

He maintained the posture of landing, and the sun wheel knife in his hand was slowly hanging down.

Just as the puppet landed on the ground.

Puff -! !

"Puff ho! Cough!!"

The sound of spurting blood came from behind the puppet, accompanied by the rustling sound of the evil spirit turning into ashes.

pat.

The evil spirit's body shattered into several pieces, rolled to the ground, and its eyes fell off from its fur-covered face, staring closely at the doll's back:
"Wow... Whoa..."

"...It's not human, it's made of iron..."

"how come…"

His eyes were filled with fear and incomprehension.

Ashes kept rising from him.

His broken body no longer allowed him to speak.

——Human beings... are too scary...

The consciousness of the evil spirit gradually faded away.

——Now... actually created... this kind of... monster...

--hateful…

——Obviously wanting to...to live again...

……

behind the devil.

not far away.

Seeing the puppet closing its hands, Yuanyi was slightly dazed.

Seeing my own moves being reproduced by others like this, it feels really strange.

Tie Qiao, who was hiding himself from the side, stood up at this moment, with a face full of joy, he couldn't wait to look at Ji Guoyuan:

"Your Excellency Yuanyi, we have succeeded!"

Turning his head, he looked at the puppet that had stopped functioning:
"Finally! It worked!"

"It's a pity... I'm afraid it can't be used for killing ghosts."

He sighed slightly, and became a little helpless:
"The disadvantage of not being able to act autonomously to enter the battle is really too great."

"...I'm afraid, except for you, Your Excellency Yuanyi, no one can carry this thing on the battlefield."

Tie Qiao's happy mood just now was extinguished by himself in an instant, leaving only melancholy in his heart at the moment.

Yuan Yi remained silent, staring at the puppet with earrings dangling on its ears, he had an idea in his mind.

"Iron Qiao."

"This puppet..."

"Can it be used as a training puppet?"

When Tieqiao heard this, his expression froze suddenly. He raised his head and looked at Yuanyi in a daze.

For a moment, he didn't know whether Yuan Yi had too much trust in himself or the quality of the doll.

Then, scratching his head a little far-fetched, he smiled:

"Your Excellency Yuanyi... the structural strength of this puppet... I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand your swordsmanship..."

Yuan Yi turned his head:
"No, not for me to practice."

He stared at Tie Qiao, and heard the rustling voice of the evil ghost turning into ashes:

"I mean, can you bring a message to the group of ghost killers?"

"Let them come here for training."

Yuanyi looks at the doll:

"With an opponent of this strength, let Qi Yi come and practice for a while."

Listening to Ji Guoyuanyi's explanation, Tieqiao was slightly taken aback, and then a feeling of "so it is" rose in his heart:

"Oh——! I understand! Your Excellency Yuanyi!"

"So that's the case! In this case, it is indeed a feasible solution!"

Just when the two were talking.

rustle - rustle -

The sound of leaves rubbing against each other came from the nearby jungle.

There is something again!

!

Suddenly, Tie Qiao felt his back go stiff, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He slowly turned around and glanced at the swaying bushes.

Quietly, slowly grasped the short blade hidden in the clothes on his chest.

pat.

As soon as Ji Guoyuan stretched out his hand, he stopped Tieqiao from drawing out the knife.

Just when Tieqiao looked back at Yuanyi, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

A familiar voice came from behind:

"It seems that we are late."

Tie Qiao turned her head, blinked her eyes, and looked at the woods not far away in a daze.

After seeing the appearance of the person coming, he unconsciously let go of the hand holding the knife.

"...Your Excellency Kamizumi?!"

rustling—

"Yo, Tieqiao, you've gotten fat."

Tie Qiao's surprised expression immediately froze.

"Is the ghost already dead?"

Shang Quannai walked out of the woods slowly, carrying on his shoulders Kimura who was about to vomit.

Behind him, Sumire Zaomen looked suspiciously, while Purgatory and Juro took their time.

The three of them immediately saw the evil ghost lying not far away, struggling to be turned into ashes.

Purgatory and Shoulang slightly put their hips on their hips, and a thought rose in their hearts that they wanted to compete with the man who killed the evil spirit.

Those who can kill the evil spirits before they arrive!It must be very powerful!
pat.

Shang Quannai put Kimura on the ground, then raised his head, and exchanged a glance with Ji Guoyuan.

He nodded:
"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Yeah." Yuanyi also nodded, speaking as little as usual.

But this time, after hesitating for a moment, he added another sentence:
"…haven't seen you for a long time."

Tie Qiao was so choked by Shang Quannai's words that he even forgot to answer for a while, just staring at Shang Quannai in a daze.

"Ugh!" Mucun, who was put down, vomited unbearably while supporting the nearby tree.

Not everyone can stand being run wildly carried by Shang Quannai.

At this time.

A scream came from the side.

"what!"

Zaomen Jin stood beside Shang Quanna, she looked surprised, leaned back slightly, and looked at Ji Guoyuan in disbelief:

"It's Uncle Jiguo!"

"Long time no see, Uncle Jiguo!"

Sumire Zamen stepped forward slightly, she raised her arm and waved it twice vigorously:
"Remember me, I'm Sumire Kamodo, my father's daughter!"

Ji Guoyuan turned his head slightly and blinked his eyes twice, he naturally remembered this lively and cheerful girl since she was a child.

Zaomen Jin stretched out her hand, pointing at Ji Guoyuanyi with some surprise, but also with some doubts:
"But...why is Uncle Jiguo here?...Is Qiyi here too!"

Ji Guoyuan glanced at the daughter of his good friend Tanji, he shook his head slightly, and patiently explained:

"No, Qi Yi, he is currently in another place."

"This ghost has already run to Forging Sword Village, so I will come out and deal with him."

"It's just..." Yuan Yi pondered slightly, he turned his head and looked at the puppet standing not far from the crowd:
"...It's not me who really kills ghosts."

Seeing this, Zaomen Jin also looked in the direction of Ji Guoyuanyi's eyes.

Just in time, I saw the back of the doll wearing a maroon haori.

And two earrings shaking slightly on the earlobe.

Her pupils shrank, and she shouted in surprise:
"That is…!"

Turning back abruptly, he glanced at Ji Guoyuan again as if confirming, and then said in complete shock:

"Two Jiguo uncles?!"

Zaomen Sumire checked back and forth, her face full of disbelief:
"Eh? What's going on?"

Purgatory and Shoulang also walked over slowly after hearing the words, and glanced in the direction of the puppet.

The frozen appearance of the doll, the posture of withdrawing the knife, and the appearance of stopping as if rushing past the evil spirit.

Instantly aroused his fighting spirit.

"Your Excellency the Red Haori killed the evil spirits, right?" Purgatory and Shoulang turned their heads, looked at Tie Qiao at the side, and shouted.

At this time, Tie Qiao seemed to have just recovered from his nerves. He turned around, slowly crossed his hips like a child, and nodded with a proud look:
"That's right, that's him."

Purgatory and Shoulang immediately ignited their fighting spirit when they heard the words:

"Oh--!!"

"Okay! Your Excellency over there!"

Purgatory and Shoulang heard the words, turned around immediately, and shouted in the direction of the puppet:
"Let's have a showdown!"

After waiting for a while, Purgatory and Shoulang didn't notice the puppet in the distance moved at all.

He froze in place for a moment.

……Um?

Purgatory and Shoulang turned their heads suspiciously, looked at Tieqiao with piercing pupils, but frowned, looking quite funny:

"...Your Excellency's temperament seems to be very cold!"

"Just like Uncle Jiguo!"

Tieqiao looked at Purgatory and Shoulang who didn't know whether the doll was real or not, and he was secretly pleased for a while.

Yuan glanced at Purgatory and Shoulang, not knowing when, his address changed from "adult" to "uncle".

Although he wasn't very depressed, but being told by Uta as a joke all day long, he seemed to be...

pretty good?
……

The noisy voice rang in the ear, and Shang Quannai half-closed his eyes, looking in the direction of the puppet.

that puppet...

Six arms, the same appearance as Yuanyi, even with similar sun earrings.

It doesn't make any sense, this doll is the training doll that allowed Tanjiro to get Enichi Saber in the original book - Enichi Zero Style.

Has it already been created?

Shang Quannai felt a little dazed, and as time passed, he could feel more and more that this world was indeed close to the manga he was familiar with.

With the birth of all these elements, Shang Quannai, who is already in a trance in this historical torrent, feels strong unreality.

Just when he was immersed in his own thoughts, there were several exclamations louder than one:
"What—?! That Uncle Jiguo is a puppet?!"

Zaomen Jin covered her mouth, she looked at Tieqiao in disbelief, and then turned to look in the direction of the puppet:
"real or fake?!"

During this careful observation, she saw that there were obvious joint marks on the doll's bare arms!
Once again, she gently covered her mouth.

"A puppet, can it kill ghosts?! It's amazing!"

Purgatory and Shoulang praised in amazement, and said from the bottom of their hearts:

"amazing!"

In the impression of Purgatory and Shoulang, dolls are clay or paper wooden dolls made by their mothers.

It's something for children to play with.

And this kind of thing can actually move and kill evil spirits.

It really opened up the world view of Purgatory and Shoulang.

After all, he raised his head abruptly, looking at Tie Qiao with excitement in his eyes:
"Can you compete with him!"

Tie Qiao nodded generously, the mouth of Huo Man's mask was constantly emitting white mist because of joy, he waved his hand:
"no problem!"
