Ghost Slayer: The beginning of the game draws the blade like fire

Chapter 84 The next step!

Before, he had always been concerned about the number of ghosts and did not dare to take action at will.

But now he already has a way to break the situation in his mind.

"Brother Yamazaki, can you take me to see the mayor alone? I have something to say to him."

"Well, leave it to me." Yamazakida agreed directly without asking the reason.

After a while, no one on the left or right came up with a reasonable way to save themselves. Everyone took the distributed food and went home sadly.

And this scene has happened more than once...

Although Tanaka's proposal seems to be the best and most rational choice, no one wants to be someone else's scapegoat.

Especially when the Tanaka family owns a carriage and the chances of his family escaping and being saved are far higher than others...

There are even many people who have the idea that since they have no way to live, they will drag Tanaka to die with them.

And this is precisely the dark side of human nature that many people have...

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, the old mayor let out a long sigh, leaned on his cane, and was ready to go home.

"Old mayor!" A voice called him.

"Yamazaki, do you have anything else to do?"

"I have something to discuss with you."

"You want to discuss something with me?" The old mayor did not look at Yamazakida, but at Qin Xiao behind him.

"I'm afraid it's not you who has something wrong, but his."

"I heard that an outsider came to the town. It should be you, right?"

Qin Xiao nodded.

"Come with me."

Yamazakida and Qin Xiao followed the old mayor to his home.

"Old lady, hurry up and make tea, we have guests at home."

"I know." The same old voice sounded in the room.

Soon, a gray-haired old woman brought tea.

"I'm so sorry. We only have tea and no snacks at home."

"Don't worry, mother-in-law, you can have snacks at this time tomorrow." Qin Xiao said with a smile.

"This..." The old woman looked at Qin Xiao with her cloudy eyes, somewhat confused as to what Qin Xiao meant.

But when the old mayor heard what Qin Xiao said, his expression changed, as if he had thought of something.

"Go and prepare lunch. We have guests to eat at home today."

"Oh, I know." The old woman just sighed, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.

"Old mayor, there's no need to go to such trouble, we can just go back and eat." Yamazakida quickly persuaded.

He knew that every time food was distributed, the old mayor got the least.

If several wealthy families in the town hadn't fled with their property in horse-drawn carriages not long ago, and they had to divide up a lot of food that couldn't be taken away, the residents of the town might not have been able to hold on until now.

It was good to have food to survive, but what made the residents of the town despair was that people from the families who escaped in the carriage appeared on the streets the next day.

"It's now time. If you eat less, you won't die. Besides, I'd rather starve to death than be eaten by ghosts."

"This... okay." Seeing that the old mayor had said so, Yamazakida couldn't say anything else.

"Tell me young man, what do you want to tell me?" the old mayor looked at Qin Xiao and asked.

"I'm a member of the Demon Slayer Team. I came here this time to deal with the evil spirits in the town." Qin Xiao didn't hold back and went straight to the point.

Hearing this, the old mayor's eyes widened, he pointed at Qin Xiao and his whole body trembled, unable to say a word for a long time!
"Old Mayor, don't get too excited!" Yamazakida quickly reassured him, fearing that the old mayor wouldn't be able to breathe, so he just confessed here.

"I knew it! I knew it! You really do exist!" The old mayor said excitedly after taking a breath, his face turned red.

"My father once told me that he also encountered that kind of man-eating monster when he was young. But fortunately, he met a swordsman, and the swordsman killed the evil ghost and saved him!"

"When I was a kid, I just thought this was a story my father made up. But when I actually discovered that the man-eating evil spirit appeared in the town, I knew that what my father said was true."

"Since then, I have been looking forward to your arrival. Because only you can save this town."

"Tell me, what do you need me to do? As long as I can kill those man-eating monsters, I won't hesitate even if I lose my life!"

Seeing what the old mayor said firmly, Qin Xiao knew that he had found the right person.

Fortunately, there were seniors from the Demon Slayer Squad who had laid the groundwork, otherwise Qin Xiao would not have been able to gain the trust of the old mayor so easily, especially when "his plan" had been rejected by many people.

"I just need a favor from you, old mayor."

"What are you busy with?"

"Let all the residents of the town flee the town during the day, and flee in the same direction!"

"This!" The old mayor suddenly felt that this sentence sounded familiar.

"Isn't this the suggestion of that boy from Tanaka?!" the old mayor reacted suddenly.

"That's right. If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't have thought of this method for a while."

"Can you tell me the reason?" the old mayor asked.

"I suspect there is more than one ghost in the town, maybe two, three or more."

"In this case, if I can't kill them all at once, then the residents of the town may suffer."

"How could it be?! There is more than one man-eating monster?" the old mayor said in surprise.

"Ghosts generally do not appear in groups. Similarly, it is also rare for more than five people to be killed every day in a town like this."

"Generally speaking, ghosts will not attack people after their normal eating needs are met."

"After all, for them, the number of people in an area is limited, and each area is their fixed hunting ground."

"If they attack on a large scale, it won't take long for them to eat up everyone in the town. Unless five people are needed to meet the most basic needs of food, then there will definitely be more than one ghost."

"That's it." After hearing Qin Xiao's explanation, the old mayor suddenly realized.

"So, the mayor needs you to convince all the residents in the town to flee together during the day! In this way, all the ghosts will appear to chase you at night."

"Only in this way can I be sure to eliminate all the ghosts at once!"

"The sooner this is done, the better, and a few fewer residents will lose their lives."

"Having said that, how can it be possible that so many people in the town want to escape from the town like Tanaka? There may be many people who think the same as Tanaka, but most of them don't have carriages." The old mayor sighed. road.

"I can only rely on you, the old mayor, to convince them in this regard. Even if the entire town's residents cannot be persuaded to flee together, at least two-thirds of the residents must flee with them."

"If the number of people is too small, I'm afraid I won't be able to attract the attention of all the ghosts."
