Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 25 Successful Rescue
Arakawa walked towards the basement, tensing his nerves.

Since Nolu Xiasheng knows magic, the possibility of him creating traps through magic is also very high.

But along the way, Arakawa looked unimpeded and did not encounter any danger.

In the underground passage of the factory, there was a long bloodstain that went straight to the iron gate at the end. The original bright red blood had turned dark brown after oxidation, and the footsteps of Nomo Arakawa echoed in the corridor.

Nozomi Arakawa carried Kakimaru to the iron gate at the end of the corridor. This was originally a refrigerated warehouse or something like that, but now that the factory is closed, the refrigeration naturally no longer works.

The reason why this factory can maintain the most basic power operation must be because the company that will take over the factory will send people to take care of it, right?

But when they know what happened in this factory, will they come to take over?

Nozomi Arakawa smashed the lock with a wedge ball, and gently pushed open the iron door.

Unexpectedly, there was no strange smell, and the floor was neat and clean, without the blood stain he had imagined.

"Wada Miki?" Arakawa Wang tried to call softly.

There was some movement in the small room on the right.

Nozomi Arakawa took his steps lightly and came to the door of the small room. He didn't knock on the door in a hurry, but stood still and pondered some words, and then knocked on the door lightly.

"I'm the police. I arrived here after receiving a call from Marina Morishita. Miss, are you all right?"

Then there was the sound of running in the room.

"Crack."

The door opened, revealing Nozomi Arakawa's familiar face.

Seeing that the person in front of him was not a policeman, Miki Wada tried to close the door in horror, but Nozomi Arakawa got there first.

He stepped into the threshold and held the door panel with his hand to prevent her from closing it. "Squad leader, long time no see. Is it really okay not to tell your parents when you move? Marina Morishita is also very worried about you."

Looking at the smiling Nomo Arakawa, Wada Miki gradually calmed down.

"Arakawa-kun?" she asked tentatively.

Although Nozomi Arakawa is a marginal figure in the class, he is still pretty good-looking, and Miki Wada even secretly painted his portrait.

"Yeah." Nozomi Arakawa said, "It's okay."

Wada Miki stared at him blankly, tears gradually blurred his eyes.

Over the past year, she has fantasized about the day she will be saved countless times, and this day has finally come.

She hugged Nozomi Arakawa, crying loudly.

Wada Miki cried for a full ten minutes, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances of this year.

Nozomi Arakawa is not worried that Nolu Xiasheng will escape, but he is a little disgusted. This school uniform is full of snot and tears... What should I wear to school tomorrow?
"Have you cried enough?" Arakawa asked, "Is there anyone else in the basement?"

"No, no more." Wada Miki wiped her tears with her sleeve, "The homeless people who were captured... I think they are all dead."

"Can you tell me where they are being held?"

Wada Miki pointed to the corner of the warehouse, where there was a small room.

"wait for me here."

Nozomi Arakawa walked over with Wedge Maru in hand.

After smashing the door with a knife, Nozomi Arakawa kicked the door panel open, and a cold rotten smell came over his face.

There were five or six large iron cages inside. Human bones and stumps were everywhere in the iron cages. They were frozen and preserved perfectly.

It seemed that no one survived.

"They are all poor people, they were kidnapped." Miki Wada said quietly behind Wang Arakawa.

"Did I tell you to stay where you are and wait for me?" Nozomi Arakawa didn't look back, but he caught a very important message in Wada Miki's words.

abduction.

Combined with the fact that Daisuke said that he saw Wada Miki on the street a few days ago, Nozomi Arakawa felt a little heavy.

"Abducted, so monitor, how many homeless people have you abducted?" Arakawa Wang asked.

Since Nolu Xiasheng can intimidate Marina Morishita through Wada Miki, then he can use Wada Miki's family or friends to intimidate Wada Miki. After all, he knows some magic tricks, and if he deliberately uses them in front of these little girls, he will be able to act. To deter them, let them believe that there is some kind of supernatural power in this world, as long as they dare to call the police or do some small actions, their family members can suffer great suffering and even be killed.

"I kidnapped three people." Wada Miki said in a low voice.

Nozomi Arakawa's heart sank, if this is the case, Miki Wada is also involved.

"But every time I want to bring them over, I am very scared. I am afraid that they will become like the iron cage, so I drive them away. They are all good people, and many of them are gone. Those who were kicked out of their homes because of work or debts, although their lives are very difficult, but I did not deprive them of the right to survive... I told them that I ran away from home, and they would kindly stand in front of the vending machine Collect money to buy me a drink, tell me to reconcile with my parents, go to school and study well..." Miki Wada lowered her head, tears streaming from her eyes.

"That means you didn't really abduct anyone?"

"Ah."

"Then why are there so many homeless corpses here?"

"Because he tampered with my body... I don't know what it is, as long as it is a homeless person that I have come into contact with, it will come to this place at night."

Arakawa Wang didn't ask any more questions, took out his mobile phone, "Call the police."

"now?"

"Of course, the murderer is already under my control." Arakawa Wang said, "Call the police and say that you escaped by yourself. Don't mention me in the process, okay?"

"But Arakawa-kun, you saved me..."

"Then take it as my reward for saving you." Arakawa Wang said, "I'm still in a hurry, and I don't want to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to make some troublesome records."

"Alright then." Wada Miki nodded obediently.

Nozomi Arakawa said as he walked upstairs, Miki Wada wanted to follow, but Nozomi Arakawa stopped him.

"Be obediently finish calling the police and come up again. I will wait for you there."

Wada Miki could only nod obediently, and called the police.

"Hi, this is the Metropolitan Police Department, what's the matter?"

……

"Hey, you're still awake!" Arakawa Nozomi greeted Nolu Xiasheng who was lying on the ground.

"Thanks to you." Nolu Xiasheng said.

"Is it okay to ask one thing?" Nozomi Arakawa said while leaning on Wedge Maru.

"please say."

"Why kill?"

"In order not to die." Ye Lu Xiasheng said.

"Not dead?"

"I have cystic fibrosis and I don't have much time left. I don't want to die a horrible and lonely death like my brother and father."

Nozomi Arakawa found his mobile phone in Nolu Xiasheng's pocket.

He did a Wikipedia search on his phone.

"It is indeed a serious disease, and there seems to be no treatment at present. It is still a hereditary disease. Some babies have this disease from birth. Only through various special and expensive treatments can their lives be prolonged."

"I saw my father and elder brother die one after another. They live like death every day. I don't want to be like them. I want to live, no matter what the cost."

"Even at the expense of other people's lives?"

"That's right, you haven't experienced death, how can you understand my feelings?"

"Have you never experienced death...?" Nozomi Arakawa smiled, "Let's just treat it like this, I probably don't understand how you feel, but when the police come later, they should take you to the hospital with broken hands and feet. How about seeing a doctor for a diagnosis?"

"What do you mean?"

"Literally." Arakawa said.

"How can you understand my feelings!" Ye Lu Xiasheng tried to raise his head, "If it weren't for you! My plan would not have been shattered! I would not have followed the old path of my father and brother! It would not be like that... miserable Die, my brother is so kind, there are so many partners in the company, there are so many girls who fall in love with him... What happened? When my brother died, no one wanted to visit him!"

"Of course I don't understand your feelings, and I don't have this kind of disease... It's just that everyone is going to die, and the end is doomed from birth, isn't it?" Arakawa Wang said softly, "It's important to live alone in this world." What matters is not the ending, but how you finish this journey. If you take life and death so seriously, what method are you going to use to live?"

"I won't tell you." Ye Lu Xiasheng stared blankly at the ceiling, "If you insist on your point of view, then the method of immortality should be destroyed and not passed on to anyone."

"Indeed, I don't care too much." Arakawa Wang threw the phone back, "What brother, brother, father, have nothing to do with me, okay?"
