Samsara Paradise: Shadow King

Chapter 73 The Ghost’s Resistance

Zhao Zijin originally wanted to find an abandoned house in the town to stay in. Due to the existence of blood and flesh donation, such uninhabited houses are not uncommon in this island country.

Zhao Zijin found his favorite target far away from the main road of the town. It was unobtrusive and convenient for keeping a low profile. It was surrounded by a complicated alley environment with multiple exits. Even if the ghost warriors of "Water No." discovered his Whereabouts, he can also rely on these alleyways to escape pursuit and escape.

This house is a bit old, with locks inside and outside. The outside lock is a metal padlock with a simple internal structure. The power of [The Hand of the Dominator] opens the innermost lock cylinder. At this time, the door can be pushed open. It's two centimeters. Looking inside through the gap, the lock inside should be an old-fashioned bolt and groove structure.

When the owner of the house needs to go out, he only needs to lock the door bolt and close it with force. The door bolt will automatically fall into the groove and form double protection with the padlock outside. However, if there is no padlock outside, this kind of lock will The lock opens just by fiddling with it, so there is little point in locking it. The main reason is that when you need to sleep at night, after inserting the door bolt, use something to hold it against it, usually a small wooden stick, so that it cannot be opened from the outside. .

However, after the power of the [Hand of the Dominator] slightly pushed the door bolt open, Zhao Zijin was keenly aware that a thread was about to break and fall down due to the force from the gap between the door bolt and the groove.

Zhao Zijin observed that this silk thread should be connected to the rag sunny doll above the door beam. After the silk thread breaks, the doll will fall to the ground at the door.

"interesting!"

Who would install such a small device in such an uninhabited, inconspicuous house?

It only takes the power of [The Hand of the Dominator] to slightly lift the door bolt and pull it out of the groove. The thread will not break without any force. In a few seconds, Zhao Zijin can push the door open without damaging the small mechanism. After entering the house, the door bolt was restored to its original position.

Trying not to touch anything in the house as much as possible, Zhao Zijin released the shadow dogs and ordered them to rely on their keen sense of smell to find strange places in the house.

There is a reason why Zhao Zijin has been raising them as ordinary-level shadow soldiers. Just like now, when they bite Zhao Zijin's trousers and lead him to a corner and growl at the floor, he knows that he The secret of this house has been exposed.

Opening the floor, there were more than a dozen blood-edge knives neatly placed on the first floor of the hidden space inside. The second time was the same number of ghost warrior armors, except that the wave patterns on them were smoothed out, and the chest area was On it were engraved the words "Ghost Killing". Most of the armors were damaged, but they were simply repaired and were still usable.

"So, even if the plot is about to collapse, will there still be demon slayers in this world who will fight and stand up for the future of mankind?"

Zhao Zijin gently touched the words on the armor, feeling the writer's inner emotions when he carved these four words.

Hatred, resentment, the courage to resist the injustice of one's own fate, and the sincerity to open a new chapter for the world.

"Human beings are really amazing! Aren't they?"

Shadow Hound whimpered in reply.

Suddenly, Zhao Zijin stood up and put his ear against the wooden wall.

"Huh? Are you back?"

His hearing caught the sound of rain outside, and within it there were a dozen subtle sounds of stepping on stagnant water, approaching the house. Zhao Zijin quickly restored the floor to its original position and hid it in the house.

The visitor carefully checked the doors and windows. The small mechanisms set up when they left had not been damaged. It seemed that their actions had not been exposed, and the lives of more than a dozen of them were still safe.

The door was pushed open silently, and a dozen men and women walked into the house. They did not light a fire, but entered the two rooms separately. They simply wiped the rain off their bodies. The person who wiped it first would go to that corner and wipe the dark water. Gerry's armor and blood-edge sword were taken out and distributed to everyone.

No one spoke. After putting on the armor, these people gathered around consciously holding the blood edge knives tightly. There were three or four people who were not assigned due to the lack of blood edge knives and armors, so they also took them and prepared them in advance. holding a stick, as if he would not miss the battle, and the room was suddenly filled with a chilling atmosphere.

Among the crowd, a man in his thirties or forties glanced around, and then said in a low voice: "Everyone! We meet again! I'm glad that everyone did not miss this gathering! Tamura, Takahashi, and Kojima, who taught before How's your practice with the Water Breathing Form 1 going?"

The three new members nodded, indicating that they had mastered it.

"Very good! This time our target is to go to the surrounding Wuyu Town to collect blood and flesh donations from the ghost warriors. There are 10 of them in total! We have already had more than 30 companions dispersed into Wuyu Town, and they will cooperate with us to kill the ghost warriors. If it succeeds this time, Tamura and you will be able to have your own armor and blood-edge sword!"

It is also possible that another companion will die this time, and their armor and blood-edge sword will be inherited by you!

The man did not say these words. The death of each companion was a heavy blow to them. Perhaps the old members have become accustomed to it. Who will die next time and who will die next time has become a They chatted after dinner.

However, the new members' psychology has not grown enough yet, and they may not be able to withstand such a blow. Even just talking about it will have an impact on their subsequent battles.

"Torataro, you and Fousuke protect some of Tamura and the others! I won't repeat the things that need to be paid attention to! Let's take action! I wish you all good luck in martial arts!"

From beginning to end, the only voices in the crowd were the men's muffled voices. After receiving the instructions to take action, they remained silent and left the house one by one in an orderly manner.

Zhao Zijin waited until they all left before walking out of the hiding place. He planned to follow the "ghost killing squad".

If the combat effectiveness of the "Demon Slayer Squad" is not too weak, he will cooperate with them and let them help him kill the feudal lord Tomioka Giyu; and if they are vulnerable to the ghost warriors, they can also They learned more information about the world and the Tanjiro Shogunate.

All in all, because the targets are all ghost warriors in this world, Zhao Zijin can profit from this group of "Ghost Slayers" no matter what.

The distance from the town to Wuyu Town is nearly half an hour. The members of the "Demon Slayer Squad" are just ordinary people who are thin and weak. They are also wearing armor. Zhao Zijin noticed that several members had begun to hurriedly He was breathing heavily, but no one said anything to stop him.

When they arrived at their destination, Wuyu Town, they only took a short rest when the ghost warriors already appeared in their sights.

This was the first time that Zhao Zijin witnessed the collection of blood and flesh donations. Seventeen or eight human beings, including teenagers, adults, middle-aged and elderly people, of all ages, were connected by a straw rope around their necks, like She was as numb and obedient as a cow or sheep, being led by the ghost warrior walking in front.

Among these people, most of the teenagers aged 13 to 15 will be sent to Edo, except for a small number left by the feudal lords in various places. The four generals and their ministers enjoyed it.

As for the second-class adults, feudal lords from all over the country would choose the younger ones as their own meals, and the older ones would be rewarded to their samurai generals.

Finally, there are the middle-aged and elderly people. They are the blood food that ordinary ghost warriors can get.

The members of the "Demon Slayer Squad" were a little restless. It seemed that they were stimulated by the scene in front of them. Many of them had the experience of being blood and flesh donations.

The leading man refused his companion's look to launch an attack now. The physical fitness gap between ordinary people and ghost warriors was too big, and he had to use sneak attacks to gain an advantage for them.

Zhao Zijin dispersed the shadow soldiers around so that if the "Ghost Slayer Squad" lost, he could take over the battle in time.
