dark night.
The bright moonlight penetrated the damaged roof and shone into a stately mansion. This was a very tall building, and it looked like a rich and powerful family.
It's just that the courtyard at this time was deadly silent, and a biting chill spread.
It wasn't purely a mental chill.
Looking around, one can clearly see that in the entire courtyard, there are large expanses of frost covering the courtyard walls and the ground. It is obviously far from the frosty winter, but this courtyard seems to have entered the cold winter.
The most exciting and frightening thing is that in those frost-covered corridors and on the ground, there is a figure, all of which are frozen in the ice and turn into ice one by one.
Some of them are stooped servants, and some are tall guards.
But at this moment, without exception, no matter who they are, they are all frozen in the ice, and all of them have lost their vitality.
Swish!
Two figures appeared on the outermost courtyard wall of the mansion.
The footsteps were light and silent, and they were all dressed in the uniform of the Ghost Slayer Squad. At the same time, they wore a colorful butterfly-patterned feather weave outside the uniform. One had a graceful figure, while the other was petite and soft.
After a year, the Butterfly sisters are different now. Kanae learned swordsmanship from Zhengu. After more than a year of practice, her strength has improved a lot compared to before.
She did not participate in the previous battle that involved a lot.
However, according to the intelligence and combat power analysis of Twelve Ghost Moons afterwards, she believes that her strength is on par with Fengzhu, Yinzhu and others. When encountering the fourth and later existences in the top string, even if she cannot win, It can also be contained to a certain extent and will not lose quickly.
A year ago, anyone who was ranked fourth or later in the top string would be able to match more than two pillars. In a one-on-one situation, it would be difficult for any one of the pillars to persist in front of the top string for too long.
Compared with Kanae, Butterfly Ninja has changed even more.
Butterfly Shinobi from more than a year ago obviously still has immature and greenness that has never faded, but now Butterfly Shinobi has a much tougher gaze than before, adding more trust to people.
She has been tempered this year, and although the swordsmanship she practiced has always been incompatible with her, it still helped her after all, making her no longer a "style step-son" half a month ago, but officially became a Became one of the pillars of the Ghost Slayer Squad, and won the title of 'Insect Pillar', forming a self-reliant faction.
This time, the sisters are facing the same task.
—Investigate the strong ghost aura that frequently appears in the southeast of the Yoshihara area!
In the past few months, strong ghost aura has frequently appeared in the Yoshihara area, but the time interval between each appearance is very short, which made several attempts by the ghost killing team to end in failure.
Especially a week ago, all seven members of a Ghost Killing Squad that had been tracking were missing.
After this situation, it finally attracted the attention of the Demon Slayer Squad, and Hanae Butterfly came to follow up and investigate in person. The newly promoted Butterfly Shinobi applied to act with her sister, and was approved by Yoya Shiki.
"What a strong ghostly aura."
Kanae stood lightly on the courtyard wall, as if a ray of breeze could blow her off, just a glance at that delicate and beautiful face seemed to make people feel a kind of tenderness.
What didn't match that tenderness was the solemnity in her eyes.
Just at this moment, Butterfly Shinobu looked at Kanae, and the two sisters looked at each other, and they knew that each other realized the same thing without opening their mouths.
This is…
Twelve Ghost Moons, the winding ghosts!
Such a strong and terrifying ghost aura is far from being comparable to the ghosts of the lower strings. It must be the upper strings, but it is still unclear which one of the upper strings it is.
Now the ghost killing team knows only three information about Shangxian, namely Yiwozuo, Bantiangou and Yuhu.
Among them, Yiwozuo was suspected to be the third of the first string a long time ago, but it became the second of the last war. What exactly happened in it and where the original second of the first string went is still unknown.
"Xiao Ren, be careful."
Although the younger sister is already the official pillar of the Demon Slayer Squad, Kanae still gently reminded her.
It wasn't too unexpected to meet the winding ghost. After all, Jingzhu Zhu personally investigated the situation, and even two of them came, so everything could happen.
The two sisters, who had already been prepared in their hearts, did not have the slightest thought of retreating at this time. After nodding to each other, they each became a little lighter, and turned into two butterfly shadows under the moonlight, and swept towards the depths of the mansion.
When passing over the house.
Most of the scenes in the house were also reflected in the eyes of the sisters.
Gradually going in from the outside of the house, there are traces of frost covering everywhere, and there are icy withers standing there, with expressions of horror and fear on their frozen faces.
"ice…"
Butterfly murmured.
This is not a known ability of any Winding Ghost.
At present, it is known that Yiwozuo has the pinnacle of boxing skills combined with the blood ghost technique that can perceive all breaths, and even has the ability to cut off the neck without dying. Only the sun's rays can destroy it.
The abilities of Bantiangou and Yuhu have also been touched. There is another one that is suspected of having the ability to move in a wide range of space and can take away a large number of ghosts in an instant. Whether it is wound or not is unknown for the time being.
The ice that appeared in front of him was another new ability.
Shua, Shua.
Continue to move towards the depths of the mansion.
The ferocious ghostly aura is getting stronger and stronger, and it has gradually surged to a terrifying level, making Butterfly Shinobi, who has just become a worm pillar, begin to feel a kind of pressure vaguely.
finally.
The sisters stopped in front of a house in the center of the mansion.
This is the backyard of the mansion. From here, there is no longer only a cold chill, but a **** smell that permeates the air, mixed with the stench of ghosts, wafting from the brightly lit room in front. out.
Kanae and Butterfly didn't stop. After landing in front of the house, they walked towards the main entrance one after the other. Both of them had pulled out their respective sun wheel knives, and their mental perception and vigilance had been raised to the highest level.
The steps of the sisters were silent.
The trap in the vigilance did not appear.
After entering the main entrance, a very bright hall appeared in front of it. There were several lights in the hall, illuminating the entire hall brightly.
The hall is covered with simple and precious carpets, and the blood that has not yet dried up is seeped on the carpets.
Follow the trail of blood.
A young man with gray and white hair and a bloodstain on the top of his head was sitting on a chair with his chin resting on one hand, with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for the arrival of Sister Butterfly.
In his other hand, he held a girl's head.
Only the head, no body.
On the face that has never closed, it seems that the fear of the last moment before death still remains.
"Oh, the guests have finally arrived. I didn't expect it to be two such lovely girls. It's really amazing..." The young man with gray and white hair was playing with his head while smiling and saying, "...I'm very happy."
Three words were clearly reflected in his smiling eyes.
Winding—three.
