Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 96 Weird
The duel was exciting.

It didn't change the plot though.

But the onlookers learned a lot.

Higanbana stopped challenging and the other adventurers dispersed.

Sanzhu said, "Old Crane, it seems that Ashina Genichirō is indeed unbeatable. Why continue wasting your time? Why don't we study and explore Ashina Castle together?"

Baihe Jushi shook his head: "Higanbana's victory is her own ability. I haven't defeated Ashina Genichirō yet, and I won't enter the official plot until I do."

Sanzhu complained angrily: "You haven't changed in decades, you are always so stubborn!"

Mr. Baihe has little interest in participating in or promoting the latest progress.

He just likes to challenge his limits!

Although he failed to become the first adventurer to defeat Ashina Genichirō due to lack of energy, he benefited greatly from observing the battle with Higanbana. He felt that he could avoid many detours and victory should be just around the corner.

Winning is not enough.

As an adventurer who pursues the limits.

Mr. Baihe wants to go further based on the existing foundation.

Although Higanbana defeated Ashina Genichirō, she lost the battle because of a surprise attack by the Yasukuni Shrine. If she had managed to deal with the Yasukuni Shrine in advance, would the outcome have changed?
This is undoubtedly extremely difficult.

But it may not be completely impossible.

Mr. Baihe wants to give it a try next.

The adventure in Miracle City continues.

The entire hall was filled with the clanging of swords like hammering iron, the crazy firing of various guns, and the roars of zombies. Of course, there were also the boos or cheers of the adventurers.

Nancy Liya faced this relaxed and lively atmosphere.

She could feel the adventurers' genuine joy.

This is a vigorous passion and vitality that will not only drive the prosperity of Miracle City, but will also become a force that shakes the Eternal Night Forest!

She couldn't help but feel very safe and secure.

……

Shortly after.

Higanbana once again challenges the secret realm of the Ten Kingdoms.

This time, I chose the official storyline of the Ashina chapter without hesitation.

When she woke up in the wolf's body, she first smelled the damp scent of rotten wood, then opened her eyes and found herself in a temple full of exotic features.

Higanbana sat up and glanced around.

This is the interior of a dilapidated temple. The roof and walls are damaged in many places. The wood is a rotten dark brown and covered with traces of smoke, giving people a sense of depression.

The room was very dark.

There was only a dim oil lamp for lighting.

The area around here and on the ground are filled with wooden sculptures in various postures. The faces of these Buddha sculptures are distorted or they are faceless, making them look more like a group of hungry ghosts struggling in purgatory.

No divinity.

Instead, it's scary and weird.

At this moment, a skinny and slovenly old man was concentrating on carving in the shadow of the lamp. When he felt the red spider lily sitting up, he made a hoarse and low sound without even raising his head.

"You're awake now. It seems you're not destined to die..."

Higanbana discovered that her severed left arm had been replaced by a crude-looking prosthetic limb, which was the ninja prosthetic arm used by other adventurers.

Very good!
Finally I got to use the arm I'd been dreaming of!
This is an inconspicuous abandoned temple outside Ashina Castle.

There are several very key figures in this temple. The sloppy old man who carves the Buddha is called the Buddha Sculptor. It was he who saved the wolf and gave him the prosthetic arm.

According to tips from other adventurers.

Two people can still be found in this dilapidated temple.

She first found a pretty woman at the temple gate with a neatly combed hairstyle and a simple Japanese-style kimono.

This person claims to be Yongzhen, a pharmacist. The Buddha sculptor and his adoptive father are close friends, and she often appears in this place to take care of the Buddha sculptor who is not in good health. She can also provide medicine for the wolves and improve the medicine gourd that automatically produces potions.

"This person must be extraordinary!"

Higanbana recognized this person as the girl with red umbrella who delivered the letter to the wolf at the beginning.

Although he was very curious about this woman's background and origins, adventurers had already tried it, and excessive questioning and forceful requests for information at this moment would lead to a loss of plot synchronization.

There are even more suicidal adventurers.

Draw your sword and attack the Buddha Sculptor or Yongzhen.

This action goes far beyond the normal behavior of wolves.

It will only cause the synchronization value to drop instantly, resulting in the challenge failing and the plot being reset!

Although the plot of Miracle City is very good, it is still a pity that the fate of the characters cannot be changed...

However, according to rumors, the synchronization value requirements will be lowered in the future after completing all the plots, and adventurers may have the ability to change the direction of the plot.

Higanbana thinks it’s okay that she can’t change the plot and fate for the time being. After all, role-playing itself is experiencing the life of that character, and only by experiencing it authentically can one better understand the story.

After talking with Yongzhen.

The red spider lily was not in a hurry to save the Son of God.

This temple is surrounded by bamboo forests. There is a slope on the right leading to the middle of the mountain. There is a merit box and a strange man in the open space here.

This man wore a tattered mask, dirty armor, and a badly worn katana. His face was full of wrinkles and his eyes were numb.

"Are you the ninja that was rescued by the Buddha sculptor? Perhaps your ninja's moves can..."

The warrior immediately drew his sword and said, "Please fight with me!"

Say nothing.

A knife hits him in the face.

Although Higanbana was very puzzled, she did not show any mercy. She deflected the opponent's weapon with one knife, stabbed the opponent's heart with the next knife, and then kicked the corpse away.

"What a weirdo..."

She had just put the Kusabumaru back into its sheath when she saw the warrior whose heart she had pierced stood up again and his heart wound healed quickly.

"Is it true that I can't die?"

The strange warrior sighed and continued, "Excuse me, my name is Fushigi Hanbei... Your swordsmanship is quite sharp and powerful. There aren't many masters in Ashina who can injure me so badly with just two strikes."

Higanbana was alert and curious: "What are you?"

Immortal Hanbei: "Immortal body, also known as parasite body. Since I can't die no matter what, I can only stay here and waste my time alone."

Higanbana: "Can't die? That's impossible!"

The Immortal Hanbei laughed at himself but did not explain: "Your Excellency seems to be a very capable ninja. If you need me, please feel free to use my body to practice your swordsmanship..."

"This body cannot die..."

"So no matter how you chop it, it's fine..."

"You're welcome, feel free to use me. I'm already used to the pain..."

Immortal Hanbei said, "I have only one humble request. If you have found a way to destroy immortality, please try it on me."

Want to die so much?

The red spider lily really doesn't believe that there is immortality in this world.

She then continued to fight with the Undead Hanbei, trying to kill him in various ways, but whether it was piercing the heart, beheading or any other means, there was really no way to kill him.

How could this be?

She was scratching her head in confusion.

An adventurer outside said.

"Boss Higanbana, don't waste your energy. We've already tried. This weirdo is truly unkillable!"

"The Time Traveler Boss is very interested in the Immortal Hanbei. He has learned about his past through a series of investigations."

Hear this.

Not only the red spider lily is curious.

Other adventurers outside also became interested.

The adventurer then introduced the story he had just heard: "According to the investigation of the traveler boss."

"Fushi Hanbei was originally a poor man from other parts of Japan."

"I came to Ashina to escape war and famine, and when I was starving to death, I met a passing monk."

"The monk felt sorry for him and saw that he had a strong desire to live, so he placed a strange insect into his body. As a result, something strange happened, and Hanbei gained the powerful ability of immortality."

"Hanbei, with his immortal body, was able to hone his skills and become a wandering samurai. Later, he met the chief general of the Imperial Household, Tamura Yoshifumi."

"Yes, that's right. It's the opening scene, the one who challenged Ashina Yixin in a one-on-one duel with Tamura Zenfumi."

"Tamura Yoshifumi discovered Hanbei's abilities and greatly admired them. He not only treated him well but also trained him to become his personal guard."

"This deeply moved Hanbei, who had been wandering for half his life, and he vowed to become a true samurai."

"..."

"Everyone knows what happened next."

"Tamura Yoshifumi was killed by the sword master Ashina Isshin during the war."

"According to the customs of Japan, if a master is killed, a Hanbei who serves as a personal guard should commit seppuku to defend his honor and his oath. However, this is impossible for Hanbei."

"He then challenged Ashina Isshin, and the result was predictable: he was split in half. However, he survived, and after a few days, his body healed and came back to life."

"..."

"After this."

"The immortal Hanbei is wandering again."

"His immortality became a more complete curse. He was often coveted by forces that coveted immortality, and it also implicated those around him, leading to tragedy. All of his friends and loved ones died because of him."

"so."

"At this moment, the immortal Hanbei is alone."

"In order to no longer implicate others, I came to this dilapidated temple to live in seclusion, wholeheartedly seeking a way to die."

"..."

While learning about Hanbei's story, Higanbana also fought and killed him again and again, but the results were undoubtedly ineffective. This guy really is completely immortal!

The adventurers were also talking about it.

"It's so amazing!"

"A strange insect can make people immortal?"

"Where did the mysterious monk come from?"

"Is there any way we can find these monks?"

"How many mysteries and strangeness does this land still hide?"

"The world of Ashina is definitely not simple!"

"..."

Higanbana's curiosity about the immortal Hanbei gradually turned into sympathy, because the immortality pursued by countless great people in this world has become an eternal torture and curse for this person.

He wanted to follow Tamura and defend the honor and dignity of the samurai.

He wants to be with his lover and friends.

Death is definitely a relief!
"I'm sorry, but I can't kill you right now!"

The red spider lily couldn't help feeling sad.

The immortal Hanbei said calmly, "I've long been accustomed to it... If you need to test your sword in the future, please feel free to come to me... This is the only value of this body..."

It’s not that this person cannot feel pain, perhaps it’s just that pain can temporarily relieve his guilt.

The red spider lily sighed endlessly.

The exploration of Ashina Province has not yet begun.

An insignificant little person hides so many stories and tragic pasts.

This made the adventurers sigh and once again deeply feel the flesh and blood of the secret world, making them more curious about the story and various secrets of the entire Ashina country.

There is no time to waste!
Higanbana said goodbye to the immortal Hanbei.

She made up her mind secretly.

If I can really find a way to destroy the immortality, I must come back to help the immortal Hanbei be liberated!
Higanbana is definitely not the only adventurer who has this idea. Even if you don't know Hanbei's story, just witnessing his almost abnormal immortality is enough to give adventurers strong motivation and drive.

why?
Because of the spirit!
The first adventurer to kill the undead Hanbei has a higher chance of obtaining a named spirit.

This is a named soul that has the potential to grant people immortality!

Although the spirit's abilities may be modified due to the laws of the world after emerging from the secret realm, it will still be a very precious, even priceless spirit that is definitely worth fighting for!

however.

How to completely eliminate immortality.

The adventurers have no idea about this.

After leaving the dilapidated temple.

Higanbana began to move using the ninja prosthetic arm.

With the help of the ninja hook rope that she could use freely and at will, she finally got her wish and experienced the thrill of climbing walls and flying around.

“So cool and free!”

“This feeling is so satisfying!”

"..."

Higanbana soon discovered the Ashina soldiers, who were difficult to communicate with. They were hostile to all invaders, especially ninjas of unknown origin.

Kill directly!

Nothing much to say!
Higanbana has fought hard with Ashina Genichirō for more than thirty times, and now she has become very familiar with the character, with such smooth and silky movements and first-class operating awareness.

Just a small soldier?

Don't even take it into consideration!

The red spider lily took care of seven or eight soldiers in just a few moves.

But at this moment, he encountered his first powerful enemy.

[Samurai General: Kawamotoda Naomori], Rank 2, 2 Star...

Higanbana judged that ordinary Ashina samurai were first-level three-star, and the Ashina samurai team leaders were first-level five-star, and the samurai general should be the best among them and belong to the level of military generals.

This warrior general.

Not only does it have the performance of a second-level two-star.

His swordsmanship is extremely refined through countless refinements.

Higanbana didn't quite understand the opponent's swordsmanship style, and she had no idea how to do it in her first challenge. After a few rounds, she was defeated and killed by a quick thrust from the opponent.

"It's a bit awesome!"

"Don't underestimate this guy!"

Higanbana finally understood why hundreds of adventurers were tortured to death by this warrior general. Even she was defeated due to lack of skill, let alone ordinary adventurers.

Ashina Country is indeed full of experts.

However, Higanbana was not convinced. She knew that an opponent of this level could only stop her once at most, and she would definitely not be so lucky next time.

As the red spider lilies line up for preparation.

The discussion among several adventurers caught her attention.

"The time traveler has discovered the hidden contents of Ashina Country!"

"This route allows us to return to the world three years ago through the wolf's lost memories!"

Hear this.

Higanbana was very surprised.

She knew the wolf was missing a large part of his memory.

I never thought that this memory could be retrieved in this way!
