Chapter 80 The Secret Talk of the Yukinoshita House

Hui Yuan, who was monitoring the conversation, found it more and more interesting the more he listened. Unexpectedly, this "secret conversation" between family members actually revealed many secrets.

That famous sword Yukiteru, who didn't know when it secretly fell into Yukinoshita Katsuki's hands?

But the news about the knife still spread, attracting the covetousness of powerful people?

After Yukinoshita Katsumi died, the trace of the sword disappeared again?

Yukinoshita Saya is perhaps the only person who knows the whereabouts of this sword?

Hui Yuan thought for a moment and then regained his composure.Orokuro Aoi is better at analyzing this kind of thing, and she should concentrate on memorizing it as her top priority.

But he didn't know if it was an illusion, but at this moment he suddenly felt that he heard some kind of "noise", some kind of interference that made him uneasy.

The reason for his restlessness was that Hui Yuanchu couldn't find the source of the noise for a while.

This was originally impossible to happen in the state of Soul Cicada.Ordinary noises are not noise at all to Hui Yuanchu, because with the help of Soul Cicada, he can easily trace the source of any noise - down to the vibration of a screw that is not tightened properly on a nearby air conditioner.Once the source is confirmed, Hui Yuanchu can process the signal from this source at the consciousness level and adjust it to the "backstage".

But now this strange feeling made Hui Yuanchu unable to find the source at all, and he couldn't even tell whether the "noise" came from vision, hearing, touch, or pure somatosensory?
This gave Hui Yuan an illusion - as if he had been deprived of his abilities and was faced with low-frequency vibrations coming from nowhere again.

I feel bad all over.

Feeling uneasy in his heart, Huiyuan began to pay attention to the situation in the room and at the same time, he diverted his attention to identify the source of this interference.

……

At this time, the silence in the Japanese room was finally broken by a sigh from the string string.

She slowly sat up straight, but finally shed her former strong and energetic shell.

"...Really, how many times have I told you these words..." She rubbed her forehead and said softly with a tired look on her face.

This time, she seemed to no longer expect Saya to answer, and just kept talking to herself.

"I understand too. You may feel like you did before... with your brother. You feel that no matter how difficult it is, you can get through it as long as you grit your teeth and hold on."

"——But, the situation is different now." String's expression became solemn.

She first glanced at the paper door to make sure no one was approaching, then moved closer to Saya, and then said quickly in a lower voice: "I can't contact Shimokawa."

"Worst case scenario, he could be dead."

"I know, you definitely don't believe what the police say. We have lived together as a family for so long, and Shimokawa has always regarded his brother as his biological father. It is ridiculous to say that Shimokawa killed his brother."

As Stringer spoke, he took out a cigarette case from his bag with an annoyed look on his face.

Lighting a fire and cigarette, String String raised his head and slowly blew out a smoke ring.

The Japanese room, which was originally clean and fresh, suddenly became smoky.

String String took another deep drag on the cigarette before continuing: "——But, Saya. Have you ever thought about why the police insisted that it was Shimokawa instead of just finding a homeless man as a scapegoat?"

After a moment of silence, Stringer said gloomily: "...Xiaochuan is the only one among us who has seen my brother's death."

"I was just a little skeptical...

"But now, you see, Shimokawa was not caught by the police, but disappeared without any reason...

"I'm almost certain. My brother's death is also related to them.

"Maybe it was just in case. No matter whether Shimokawa discovered anything or not, they wanted him to never tell him. "They wanted to completely hide this matter.Not a single clue left. "

Then, String String didn't speak anymore and just smoked silently.

The girl still didn't respond.In the swirling smoke, she looked more like a statue of Guanyin.

As he was about to finish smoking a cigarette, String String finally raised his head, and his voice regained its previous decisiveness: "Hand over Yukiche. Otherwise... none of our Yukinoshita family members can escape. Like my brother, he died in an unknown way.

“It’s a bad feeling, but it’s what it is.

"Our fate is never in our own hands.

"You may think that I am cold-blooded and shameless. I know who the enemy is, and I don't want to take revenge, but I only want to bow my head and beg for mercy?"

After a moment of silence, String String suddenly smiled bitterly and shook his head: "But, didn't you have that thought?
"Xue Che is a cursed demon sword. Those who carry it will always die in the end... Therefore, it was later sent to the shrine by the general to suppress it.

"My brother is also dead.

"Mr. Yasuda may not believe in evil, maybe he thinks he can suppress it, or maybe he has other motives. But I... even in this sense, I want you to give up on it as soon as possible."

Finally, String String stubbed out the cigarette on his purse and stood up.

"That's it for today..."

"aunt."

"I know, I may have said a bit too much today. Maybe you need some time to examine-" String String was adjusting the folds of her skirt when she suddenly reacted and looked up at Saya in surprise.

The girl still had her back turned to her, still motionless.But she was the one who spoke just now.

——The first words spoken by Yukinoshita Saya so far.

Then, she spoke again: "Do you want to protect me?"

The expression of the strings is a bit complicated.But she still said in a very affirmative tone: "Of course. I am running here just to protect you."

"I also want to protect you, aunt." The girl responded calmly, "But... I'm sorry.

“You can’t do it, and I can’t do it either.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, but you are going to die soon.

"Xue Che...she is coming to kill you soon."

Yukinoshita's strings were stunned for a while, and then suddenly woke up with a jolt.

"Saya! You, what are you talking about!" She said reluctantly, and then rushed towards the paper door almost as if she was running away, "I, I'm leaving first."

However, Yukinoshita Saya seemed to have turned back into a Buddha statue that could neither move nor speak, letting Yukinoshita Saya leave in silence.

But Hui Yuanchu saw her movements for the first time——

With her back to the string instrument, Saya raised her right arm and slowly stretched out her hand towards the scabbard in front of her.

After all, her hand did not touch the scabbard, but hovered above the scabbard, as if hesitating for something.

The moment the paper door was closed again with a "bang" from the strings, Saya sighed softly and withdrew her hand again.
