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

Chapter 85 Preparations
"Oh, that can only be like this." The old mayor said helplessly.

"I have a suggestion for you, old mayor. First, look for those residents who intend to escape and persuade them. I believe you know these people well."

"For example: Tanaka, wait until you convince them and then let them convince the residents who have the same idea."

"I don't think they will refuse. After all, the more people there are, the greater the chance they will survive."

"As for letting them convince other people, I guess people like them who have the idea of ​​​​escaping from the town should have been angry for a long time in private."

Hearing this, the eyes of the old mayor and Yamazakida lit up.

"In this case, the efficiency can indeed be much faster."

"Also, my identity cannot be leaked, otherwise I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."

"This... this is a bit difficult to handle." Hearing what Qin Xiao said, the old mayor's face suddenly fell.

At first, he was planning to use his status as a member of Qin Xiao's ghost killing team and his reputation as the mayor to convince the town residents.

Now that Qin Xiao's identity cannot be exposed, he can't think of a better reason to persuade the residents who are unwilling to escape.

"That's all, I just hope everyone in the town can understand my good intentions."

"Old woman, you don't have to wait for me for lunch. You can eat."

After that, the old mayor took Yamazakida out and left, seizing every moment to convince the residents of the town.

"What's so urgent that you can't go after lunch?"

When the old woman came out from the kitchen with lunch, Qin Xiao was the only one left in the living room.

"Hey, old man?"

"The mayor is out, mother-in-law."

To be honest, Qin Xiao did not eat enough yesterday...

………………

Benedict!Benedict!Benedict!
"Who?" A vigilant voice came from the room.

Even though it's daytime and no ghosts appear, sometimes people's hearts are more terrifying and unpredictable than ghosts.

"It's me, Tanaka-boy."

"Old mayor?!"

click!

The thick door was opened, and Tanaka seemed to open a gap. Only when he saw clearly that it was the old mayor did he open the door.

"You're quite vigilant, kid."

"That's natural. There are a lot of people in the town staring at my carriage and food." Tanaka said bluntly.

The Tanaka family is considered to be above average in the town. Not only does it have a carriage, but it also has much more food than other townspeople.

He has a family of six, with four children, but his consumption is not much greater than that of other townspeople.

It was precisely because he had four children at home that he kept thinking about running away and escaping from the town.

Tanaka invited the old mayor into his home and closed the door again.

The old mayor looked around and found his wife and children. They were obviously hiding elsewhere.

"Old mayor, what do you want from me?" Tanaka asked directly as they sat down in the living room.

"I came here this time to discuss with you your proposal for you... to escape from the town."

"You, you agree to my proposal?!" Tanaka's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

In the past, although the old mayor did not express his rejection of his proposal, it could already be seen from his attitude.

Now that the old mayor came to him on his own initiative and wanted to discuss with him the proposal of escaping from the town, how could he not be excited.

In fact, Tanaka is not afraid of death. He just hopes that his wife and children can continue to live, instead of ending up as monster food.

"Okay, sit down and talk, I don't have much time." "Okay, okay, you say." Tanaka sat down quickly.

"Although I agree with your proposal, if only a small number of townspeople are willing to escape with us, our fate may not be much worse than those of the previous people."

"Only with enough numbers can we have a chance of escaping from the town."

"So, I hope you can help convince other residents who are interested in escaping from the town. This shouldn't be a problem for you."

"Leave it to me, old mayor! I know who are as interested in escaping from the town as I am."

"Sure enough, you guys are secretly hiding your anger from me, right?" The old mayor looked like he had seen through Tanaka.

"Hehe." Tanaka just smiled, not at all embarrassed because the old mayor saw through his little thoughts.

"There is one more thing I must mention to you."

"what's up?"

"It's best to give up your carriage and give it to the child."

After listening to the first half of the old mayor's words, Tanaka's originally joyful expression turned suddenly and became extremely cold.

But after he heard the second half of the sentence, his expression softened again.

After a moment of silence, Tanaka agreed: "...Okay, I promise you, old mayor."

"Then it's settled. In fact, you don't have to worry too much. There are several carriages in the town. I will also persuade them to give up the carriages and give them to their children like you. I won't favor one."

"With your words, old mayor, I feel relieved."

"One last thing, I want to set the time for escape this afternoon."

"This is impossible!" Tanaka jumped up like a mouse after seeing a cat.

"Old mayor, it's not like you don't know. Ghosts don't appear only during the day, but at night it's all about those monsters."

"If we escape from town in the afternoon, how far can we run before evening? This is almost a joke with everyone's lives!"

"I suggest setting it after the sun rises tomorrow, so that we have enough time to get on our way."

"But……"

Didn't he know that choosing to flee the town in the afternoon was tantamount to making fun of everyone's lives, but the so-called fleeing was just an excuse.

The real purpose is to get all the ghosts in the town to leave...

"No but, there is no room for negotiation on this matter. Otherwise, let alone me who disagrees, other townspeople will not agree either!"

"In this case, I would rather stay in the town and wait to die."

"Okay, then it will be after the sun rises tomorrow."

The old mayor just wanted to save a few more lives, but it was a pity...

………………

By the time Qin Xiao came out of the old mayor's house after dinner, he could already notice that the atmosphere in the town had changed.

Many people were running around and walking through the streets.

"Go away! If you want to make me a scapegoat, I won't let you succeed!"

"No! Other matters can be discussed, but I will not let the carriage out! Why should I let someone else sit in my carriage?"

"What, you said that Tanaka has promised to let the carriage out?! Is it true?"

"Since Tanaka has given up the carriage, I can't say anything. Just let your child go."

Qin Xiao's hearing is very keen, and he can still hear clearly even if he is speaking dozens of meters away.

"It seems that the old mayor has done a pretty good job."
