Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 196 The Road to Collecting Ninja Tools
Madame Butterfly, or the Phantom Butterfly, is undoubtedly a strong person.

Like Xiao, she was born in the Bojing Forest. She is a ninja who is proficient in illusion. She also participated in the war against the pirates 20 years ago.

After the war, Xiao Xiao gave her the child Wolf he picked up and asked her to teach him ninjutsu.

But three years ago, she was somehow involved in the tragedy at the Hirata mansion.

Judging from the reaction of the young Kuro, he must have a good relationship with Madam Butterfly, so even the wolf and the player don't know why she wants to fight with the wolf.

Some people think that she is with Xiao Xiao and came to seize Long Yin, while others think that she is protecting Jiulang from Xiao.Both of these statements are valid, so there is often debate on this issue.

Of course Li You is curious about the specific reason, but this memory world has been clarified. It is different from the setting three years ago in the original game. It is just a pure manifestation of past memories.

So what the wolf didn't know in the past, it's impossible to know now, just like Madame Butterfly who only speaks fixed lines.

Therefore, Li You didn't want to waste any words and went straight to the ground with all his strength.

After repeatedly entering the world of fragments to practice, Li You's strength cultivation is now quite advanced, and he has also learned the basic secrets of the newly acquired schools.

He has already read through Xianfeng Temple's boxing book, ninja move book, and Wei Mingren's secret book.

Of course, there are also priorities. Li You's top priority is Wei Mingliu's swordsmanship.

The ninja move book contains a lot of secret fighting techniques. Although the Senboji Boxing Book records boxing techniques, it also contains a lot of content about Buddhism.

So relatively speaking, the most friendly thing to Li You is Wei Mingliu's swordsmanship book.In addition to swordsmanship skills, other parts of the cheat book explain body skills, postures, and combat methods that are used in conjunction with strength during combat, which are the most direct improvements to combat skills.

And he has also mastered Wei Mingliu's signature move - Wei Mingliu's one word and two consecutive moves.

Coincidentally, when fighting a ninja like Phantom Butterfly, Ichimonji, which takes into account the power of the slash, the damage to the enemy's torso, and even the ability to adjust breathing and restore one's own breath, can exert an astonishing effect.

Also because of the actual difficulty of Yijiji Erlian, Li You practiced it repeatedly for a long time before he successfully mastered it and was able to use it in battle.

At this moment, Madam Butterfly was jumping around in the burning Buddhist hall. Her dexterous movements could always dodge the attacks of the three people.

But both Aiji and Li You reacted very quickly and immediately took action to cut off all the invisible thin threads that Madam Butterfly had arranged in the Buddhist hall in advance. In this way, Madam Butterfly had nowhere to hide and could only choose to keep wandering around. Avoid the attack of three people.

But she lost her greatest source of mobility, and after all, she was getting older, so she became obviously tired after a while.

However, Wolf and Aggie are still in hot pursuit.

The wolf quickly approached from the front, while Aiji followed Li You's instructions and moved around to block Madam Butterfly's retreat from the rear.

Finally, there was Li You. He seized the opportunity and used the grappling hook to quickly approach, and his luck started already in the air.The moment he landed on the ground, Ichimonzonazana was immediately swung out!
Aerial martial arts techniques from the Ninja Move Book are quite practical.

Madam Butterfly certainly noticed Li You's approach, but she was chased by Wolf and Aggie, so she could only choose to go up Li You's side.

The wolf's moves are exquisite, so you must not be entangled by him, and Aiji's energy is poisonous in dark blue, and Madam Butterfly is not willing to be contaminated.

She decided to break through from Li You, but then she was surprised to see Li You swing a one-word slash!
"clang--!"

Madam Butterfly raised her hand to block the first slash, but Li You followed up with the second slash!

"Chong-"

Madam Butterfly's kunai barely resisted for a moment, and then was cut off directly. The sharp blade mixed with strength fell on her left shoulder, and blood spattered.

Fortunately, Madam Butterfly was well versed in the ninja's methods of avoiding injuries and retreated to avoid Li You's pursuit. However, the wolf was already behind him and stabbed him with a knife!

"Pfft—!"

Faced with the wolf's fast and fierce knife, Madam Butterfly had no time to dodge or block, and was stabbed through the chest from behind!

Madam Butterfly's body trembled, and she fell to the ground as the wolf pulled the knife away.

Immediately, her body turned into a piece of glowing smoke and flew away in the wind.

Li You's eyes narrowed.

Sure enough, it is the incarnation.

Madam Butterfly in the game, like most bosses, has two health points.But something different is that after she is killed by Ninja for the first time, her body will disappear. In the second stage, a Madame Butterfly will reappear and start to use her signature skill-illusion.

So obviously, Madam Butterfly in the first stage is just an incarnation created by illusion.

Li You is really greedy for this skill, but Madam Butterfly has been dead for three years and cannot learn it even if he wants to.

Sure enough, with a burst of laughter, Madam Butterfly jumped down from the Buddha statue again and said with a smile:
"Not bad, boy."

She snapped her fingers, and wisps of thick milky-white mist began to disperse in the Buddhist hall. Flashing butterflies were flying everywhere, and a large number of phantoms of short villagers fell from the mist in mid-air!

Li You subconsciously wanted to take out the dream awakening bell from the system backpack to correspond to the illusion, but came up empty-handed, and then realized that the backpack was temporarily unavailable.

But this is not a big problem. The illusion cannot be broken quickly, it is just a little troublesome.

Li You was about to let Aiji and Wolf separate to clear out the phantom villagers, but Aiji seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly took a deep breath, then opened his mouth and let out a high-pitched scream!

"what----!!!"

The scream was so harsh that the wolf subconsciously covered his ears, but Li You was used to it.But when the roar spread, the phantom villagers trembled and then dissipated like the wind!

The wolf was very surprised: "...This! Can you use this method to break the illusion?"

Li You was also a little surprised, but this was a good opportunity, so he picked up the knife and rushed towards Madam Butterfly again!
The second stage of Madame Butterfly, which has lost its illusion, is no different from the first stage.Under the siege of three people, she was quickly defeated and her energy flowed away, and she fell to her knees.

Then, the wolf himself took out the knife and sent her away completely.

The body of the fallen Madame Butterfly also turned into smoke and dissipated like her previous incarnation.

The wolf watched the smoke and dust dissipate, and finally recalled everything in the past.

"...I remembered. Three years ago, I killed Madam Butterfly here, and then..."

Of course Li You knew what happened next.

There was a very slight sound of footsteps, and the tall figure that everyone was familiar with appeared at the door of the Buddhist hall.

Wolf's adoptive father, Xiao.

Li You shook the knife in his hand and said, "After all, I used the owl's bell to get in."

The wolf also tightened his grip on the knife: "...adopted father."

"...Master Li You, please be careful. The Xiao in front of you should be what he looked like three years ago, that is, he was in his prime."

Li You also nodded, he was naturally prepared for this.

At the entrance of the Buddhist hall, Xiao Xiao had already drawn his knife and rushed towards the three of them!

The wolf was the first to bear the brunt. Faced with the owl's flying knife, he accurately deflected it with his knife and counterattacked!

"Shh-"

The owl also reacted quickly. He also deflected the attack, jumped back, and five shurikens flew out in a fan shape!

Lang and Li You raised their knives and bounced away, while Ai Ji dodged sideways.Then, both Wolf and Li You rushed towards Xiao.

The owl raised his knife to block the whirlwind attack from the wolf. Then, facing Li You, he saw that he had no time to react and thrust out a cunning knife. The owl waved his hand and the figure suddenly disappeared from the place, leaving only a piece of black mist and Flying feathers!
The next moment, Xiao's figure emerged from the side and slashed at Li You with a quick knife!
"clang--!"

Li You easily raised his hand to block it, and even took advantage of the opportunity to return a knife, but Xiao Xiao dodged it.The owl wanted to pursue it, but the wolf's attack had already arrived, and he had to choose to parry.

It is not what ninjas do to fight against many with a small number, even in the world of Sekiro with the extraordinary power of energy.

Therefore, at this moment, Xiao Xiao, faced with the flanking attacks from Li You and Lang, as well as the occasional sneak attacks and support from Ai Ji, seemed to be overwhelmed and overwhelmed.

Even within a few moments of the battle, he was already forced to summon his signature beast, the owl.

This is an owl with white feathers. It is the earth god of Bojing Forest. It was tamed by the owl for some reason and became his beast.This is where the name Xiao comes from.

In addition to allowing the owl to move like a phantom, the owl can also ignite flames, transform into a bird of fire, and pounce on the enemy. This was the most powerful move for the owl in its heyday.

After the owl was summoned, it kept flying in circles around the Buddhist hall, its figure looming.

At this time, Xiao has also released all his strength. He can disappear instantly like a mist, and then launch attacks from another place, and such moves can be used continuously.

Facing the knife swung by the wolf, the figure of the owl suddenly turned into a black mist, and instantly appeared on the right side of the wolf, and quickly swung the knife down!

The wolf blocked it, but the owl disappeared again!

But this time, as soon as he appeared, Li You suddenly seemed to be prepared and threw the original spear at the location where he appeared!

The owl raised his knife to block it, but the wolf reacted very quickly. He seized the gap and stepped forward with a knife!

The knife struck the owl firmly on the flank, blood spurted out, and the owl's figure immediately turned into black mist again.

When he reappeared, he had reached the other side of the Buddhist hall, raised his left hand, and let the owl rest on his hand.

Then, the owl turned into a huge firebird and flew out, sticking to the ground and rushing towards Li You and the others!
Li You and Lang jumped up to avoid it, while Ai Ji quickly hid against the wall.She glanced at the owl that disappeared again and her eyes flashed.

The owl's attack was not over yet. After the firebird pounced, he immediately raised the knife, and his luck made it like a small tornado, pushing him forward to thrust forward quickly!
Li You's eyes lit up: "Here we go, Yiya swordsmanship!"

Oh no, it's Xiao's special skill, Kui Nin's thrust.

But now the wolf has regained its fighting power in its heyday. After dodging the firebird, he landed on the ground. Facing the lunging owl, he suddenly raised his leg, saw the right moment, and stepped on it!
see through!

The owl's stabbing blade was stepped into the ground by the wolf. He wanted to draw the knife, but the wolf had already cut it off!

"Shh-"

Blood splattered, and Xiao received another serious injury.

The wolf looked at him and whispered: "...After all, it's just a phantom in my memory."

Xiao Xiao didn't react at all, and his figure flashed again.

The wolf raised his knife in defense, but this time, the owl failed in his flash attack.

Only three gunshots and a scream were heard in the Buddhist hall, and then the figure of the owl fell out halfway through the movement, and even staggered on the ground before he could stand still.

The wolf was stunned for a moment. He turned around and saw that Aggie was standing on the side of the Buddhist hall, wearing the owl that had come and gone without a trace on the steel claw on his right arm.

The wolf was a little surprised, but Li You on the side had already put away the hand cannon X, rushed in front of the owl without hesitation, and stabbed him with a knife!

"Pfft-"

Xiao Xiao's internal energy was disordered due to the interruption of his mist transformation. At this time, he had no time to dodge and was pierced by Li You's knife in his right shoulder.

Li You turned the blade again, and this time beheaded the owl directly!

Seeing the owl's headless body collapse, the wolf was silent for a moment before returning to normal.

He said: "...Master Li You, I feel that all my memories have come back, and we should be able to leave here soon."

Li You shook off the blood from the blade, put it into the sheath, and nodded.

But he couldn't help but feel it was a pity. After all, there were still things that could be collected from the map three years ago...

Aiji also walked over.After the owl died, the owl also disappeared, leaving Aggie holding only a ball of feathers in his hand.

The wolf looked at it and asked, "How did you catch it?"

Li You smiled and said: "If the owl was still the god of land, it would be almost impossible to capture it by ordinary methods. But now he is the owl's companion, and he must use his own strength to provide support for him."

"The moment the owl uses the power of the owl to turn into mist, the owl's body will become solid and it will not be able to escape, so we have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

The wolf understood.

At this time, Li You also received a system prompt.

【Ding! 】

[Special mission: Help the wolf retrieve its past memories, and the wolf cannot experience death. Completed! 】

[Task reward: Unlock the memory world of Hirata's mansion, and unlock the hidden achievement information of this world. 】

[The Hirata Residence Memory World: It is constructed from everyone’s memories of the Hirata Residence three years ago. You can enter repeatedly through the Buddha statue in the abandoned temple, and you can only bring system companions. 】

[Please note that the time flow rate in the memory world is the same as that in the main world. 】

[You can now confirm all the hidden achievements in this world. 】

System functions are also unlocked.

Li You raised his eyebrows, but before he could confirm, the world around him was wrapped in black mist.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had returned to the abandoned temple, and was sitting on his knees in front of the Buddha statue with Wolf and Aggie.

"...Hmph, you are back from your past memories."

The familiar voice of the Buddhist carver rang in his ears, and Li You stood up, stretched a bit, and then replied: "Yes, I gained a lot this time."

Buddha carver: "...Hmph." On the other side, Aiji also stood up and followed Li You, while Wolf picked up the bell in front of the Buddha, pondered for a moment, and then put it away.

He looked at the Buddhist carving master: "...Thank you very much."

The Buddhist sculptor said: "Don't thank me. You can recover your memory because of yourself and it has nothing to do with me."

"If nothing happens, just leave. It's been a while since you entered the world of memory, and Eima has gone back."

The wolf nodded and stood up to leave, but Li You stopped him at this time.

"and many more."

He looked at the wolf: "Take these."

Li You handed over the ninja tool he found in the memory world.

A fire blower, a black iron ax, and a large cloud of mist-crow feathers.

The wolf was stunned: "...Master Li You?"

Li You smiled and said: "Don't forget, you have to cut off the immortals next, and your own strength is also very important. Take these, and the Buddhist carving master should be able to put them in Renyi's hands for you. ?”

The Buddhist carver had already noticed the ninja tool that Li You took out.

"That axe... huh, yes, these things can be put into Renyi's hands. Come on, boy, I will put them in for you."

The wolf was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I understand, thank you very much, Mr. Li You, Buddha carving master."

Li You just smiled.

Of course, he was so generous not because he was truly selfless, but because he had just seen one of the hidden achievement information that prompted him to make this decision.

[Hidden Achievement: Ninja Tool Master]

[Achievement content: Help the wolf collect all kinds of prosthetic hand and ninja tools and put them into the hands of the ninja (5/10). 】

[Achievement reward: Choose five prop-type ninjas. 】

Li You clapped his hands: Shouldn't he be punished for this?
Wolf himself has collected two kinds of ninja tools, shurikens and firecrackers, plus the three pieces that Li You just gave away, there are five pieces.

Li You took out his backpack and took out the mechanism umbrella he bought from Kuro Li Zhi Raccoon - Jincheng Iron Wall.

That's six pieces. As for the rest, the broken horns of Kodachi Koshimaru and Onigatabu can be obtained at Ashina Castle.But the last two items require heading to the Collapse Canyon.

But it just so happened that I was going there as well.

After all, the wolf and Kuro have kept their promise to help Ashina fight against the inner government and have successfully completed the task of hunting rats. Of course, Li You must keep his word and take the wolf to find the fairyland and cut off the immortal. method.

The Collapse Canyon is a place that cannot be avoided.

Of course, there is no need to rush now. After finally repelling the attack from the inner palace, you can take a rest first, such as going back to the castle tower to practice swordsmanship or something.

But before that...

Li You grabbed the Buddha sculptor and said, "Buddha sculptor, I was interrupted before I could finish my words. Can you speak now? How can I control the fire of resentment?"

Buddhist carver: "..."

There seemed to be some impatience on his face, but his eyes revealed his true emotions.At this time, the wolf also asked: "Buddha master, if you know the solution, please tell us."

"Alas..." The Buddhist sculptor was helpless and could only reply, "There are not no ways, and there are even more than one. Unfortunately... none of them are realistic."

"The first way is to give birth to a real Shura. Shura will absorb the fire of resentment and turn it into his own power. Compared with my half-hearted absorption and suppression, he can control the fire of resentment."

Li You and Lang looked at each other.

The Buddhist sculptor also knew that this was completely impossible. After all, neither he nor the people around him would allow Shura to be born.He then said:

"The second way is to let there be no more wars in the world. That way there will be no more wasted deaths, no more flames of resentment will be born, and I will naturally be fine."

Li You: "..."

Would you like to listen to what you are saying?
The Buddhist sculptor was not surprised by his expression, and snorted and said: "So, there are ways, but they are impossible to achieve. As long as there are wars in the world and the resentment of those who died in the war, I can't Get rid of such karma.”

"So for people like me, hiding in a Buddhist temple, carving Buddhas, and relying on spells to suppress them is the best way.

"I'm very grateful to you for thinking about me, but I'm already hopeless. The so-called ninjas are such sad guys.

"If you are really serious, then you can kill me the day I lose control and turn into a ghost.

"I can't bear to let that kid Eima take action, even Isshin-sama's body..."

The wolf was silent for a while before replying: "...I understand, Master Buddha Sculpture."

The Buddhist sculptor hummed in a low voice: "...I'll leave it to you when the time comes."

Li You was still meditating on the spot. He originally wanted to ask again, but the Buddha carver had already turned away, and his intention to see the guest off was clear.So the wolf got tough this time and pulled Li You out of the Buddhist temple.

Aiji and Yuzu naturally followed suit.

On the way back to Ashina City, Lang said to Li You: "Master Li You, thank you for your help. I have recalled the forgotten memories and will no longer be confused."

Only then did Li You remember: Oh, Duihou, it was because the wolf was deceived by the Lone Shadows that he took the wolf here to search for past memories...

But anyway, everything turns out well.Li You came back to his senses and said to the wolf with a smile: "It's okay, that's what it should be. Now that the inner palace's offensive is temporarily suspended, we can also prepare to find what we need to kill the immortal."

Although the wolf's expression did not change, his eyes became firm: "Yeah!"

The group immediately returned to the castle tower.

Genichiro was still busy at this time, while Isshin was practicing swordplay in the small dojo accompanied by Eima.

Li You was not polite and called people directly, asking them to fetch the rusty pills stored in the lower floor of the castle tower and the broken gun of the ghost-shaped department of the diversion castle tower service office, and gave them to the wolf.

The wolf was not polite and accepted it after thanking him.

When Jiulang heard that the wolf had regained his memory and that Li You planned to fulfill his promise and take the wolf to find what he needed to kill the immortal, he was very happy. He even took out the peony cake he made in his spare time and gave it to the wolf and Li You. Yu and Isshin Eima all sent a copy, and even Genichiro had one.

Reactions to this have been mixed.

In the dojo, Isshin and Eima, who were practicing their swordsmanship, expressed their relief after accepting it.

On the upper floor of the castle tower, Genichiro was handling government affairs. After hearing the maid say that it was made by Kuro himself, he was silent for a moment, then dismissed the maid and continued working.

In Qingzi's room, the wolf accepted it with some surprise, and ate it on the spot at Jiulang's suggestion.

The wolf exclaimed instinctively: "It's delicious..."

Jiulang showed a happy smile: "Right, right!"

"I have loved making snacks since I was a child. In the future, if everything is settled, I would also like to open a tea room."

Aiji and Yuzi were very curious about this oriental food. Aiji ate it in several bites and Yuzi swallowed it in one gulp.Judging from their expressions, it was obvious that they both thought it tasted good.

As for Li You... After he bit off a small piece and ate it, he felt it silently for a while, then shook his head and sighed.

——This thing can’t restore blood and body value!

As a result, Jiulang on the side misunderstood and asked nervously: "...Master Li You, am I not delicious enough?"

Li You came back to his senses and looked at everyone's eyes. He quickly explained: "No, no, you made it delicious. I just...well, I just thought of my mother. She used to make this too." I eat."

Jiulang suddenly realized: "Master Li You's mother must be a virtuous and virtuous woman!"

Li You: ...No, actually my mother doesn’t know how to do this stuff at all.

In short, except for Genichiro who was busy with political affairs, everyone else took a rare moment to relax, although each person's method was different.

Soon, half a day passed and it was evening.

Wolf spent the whole afternoon in the dojo, familiarizing himself with the use of his newly acquired prosthetic hand and the Ninja prosthetic hand move book he got from the Buddhist sculptor when he went to install the rust ball and spear ninja tools.

It has to be said that Wolf's talents as a ninja and samurai are top notch.

Li You seemed to be making rapid progress because he was able to enter the fragmented world to practice swordsmanship.But the wolf just relied on his own understanding and talent. It took him half a day to almost master the Ninja prosthetic hand move book. At the same time, he also practiced Wei Mingren's secret book to the depths, but he had not yet had time to master the moves of Yiwen and Erlian. That’s all.

However, footsteps were heard outside the door.The wolf turned around and saw that it was an unexpected person.

Eima.

The wolf looked at her with some confusion: "You...?"

Yingma bowed slightly to him and said: "Lord Wolf, please forgive me for interrupting you at this time. But there is something I must discuss with you."

The wolf noticed the seriousness of the situation from her tone, so he asked: "What is it?"

Eima replied: "Today, when you are not at the castle tower, Lord Kuro is in the library reading past records about Long Yin."

"At that time, I passed by by chance and heard Master Kuro whispering, 'Finish what I should do'."

Wolf: "...huh?"

Eima said: "Master Kuro's tone at that time sounded like he was hiding sadness. I was a little worried, so I also checked the past records."

"Then, I recalled what my father-in-law, the previous Long Yin Qingzi, said.

"He once mentioned the word 'Jie Cuo'. I'm afraid that means that he wants to cut off Long Yin together with Master Jiulang's life..."

Wolf: "...Hmm!"

Eima said: "Master Kuro hopes to kill Long Yin, but...is there no way without sacrificing his life?"

"I don't want to see Master Jiuro die, so I thought it might be a way to discuss it with you."

The wolf pondered for a moment and said: "...Let's go find it and ask Mr. Li You."

Yingma was a little surprised: "Master Li You?"

Wolf nodded: "His understanding of Wei Ming and Long Yin is much deeper than we imagined. If it were him, he might also know something."

Yingma thought for a while and nodded: "I understand, then let's go see if Mr. Li You can do anything."

The two of them immediately went to the guest room together.

But as soon as they arrived at the door of the guest room, they heard a faint sound of a woman moaning and begging for mercy from inside.

"...No, no more!"

The two people's footsteps immediately stopped, but their ears perked up subconsciously.

Then, they heard the man's whisper again.

"...Hmph, want to escape?"

The two looked at each other: "It...it seems like we came at the wrong time?"

inside the room.

Li You held the lantern of salvation. Purple flames danced in the lantern, and the light enveloped Ai Ji.

Li You and Ai Ji experimented with the effects of the redemption lantern in different modes.

As a result, I don't know if Aiji was as unlucky as him. As soon as Li You switched the lantern to dark purple, Aiji was hit by two DEBUFFs: confusion and weakness, which made her feel uncomfortable all over and shouted "no".

But Li You didn't care so much. Ai Ji had obviously agreed to accompany him to experiment with the effect of the lantern. How could there be any reason to give up halfway?
So he held the lamp and kept wandering around Aggie.

However, continuously keeping the lantern lit at high power also placed a considerable burden on Li You.

It wasn't until he felt out of breath that he put away the lantern and planned to get some water.

As a result, when he opened the door, he saw Wolf and Eima, who were pretending that nothing happened and planned to run away.

Li You: "?"

"What are you two sneaking around for?"

The two of them paused immediately.

Yingma turned around and greeted with a normal expression: "Master Li You, good evening."

The wolf was silent for a moment and said: "...Nothing happened. We were just passing by and didn't hear anything."

Yingma: "..."

Li You: "???"
