Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 4
At 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, after ensuring a good rest, Nozomi Arakawa changed into a loose tracksuit and moved his body so that it would not be so stiff.

He put the wedge ball in the racket bag and carried it on his shoulder.

He may encounter patrolling people at night, he has to be careful, at least not to let normal people see the knife in his hand.

After tidying up his luggage, Nozomi Arakawa gently closed the door of his house, shutting the last ray of moonlight inside.

Walking on the deserted street, he was going to the alley where he was attacked a few hours ago, where he might be able to find some clues left by the killer.

Nozomi Arakawa's home is located near Izumi Park not far from Akihabara. Usually, there are no people around after ten o'clock at night. It can be said that it is not such a noisy place. Although the condition of the residential building he lives in is not very good, it is better than Living conditions in Adachi Ward are much better.

Compared with the homeless people and garbage dumps that can be seen everywhere, the unannounced water and power cuts are not so unacceptable.

His footsteps were so light that they were almost inaudible even in the quiet night. This was something he realized by imitating the steps of a wolf's ninja.

[Obtained: Muffling]

【Constant effect that can suppress the sound made when moving】

Walking in this way is very helpful to him. Imagine that the moon is dark and the wind is high, you are walking on the empty street, the surrounding is silent, and your sense of hearing is amplified. At this time, it is like a dead leaf falling The sound on the ground will make you alert, but someone has come quietly behind you.

He hides in the darkness, his footsteps are softer than the leaves, his breath is softer than the breeze, he may have just come to you, or he may have followed you like a shadow for a long time, at the right time - maybe in a certain alley In the mouth, maybe in the woods deep in the park, a sharp knife cuts lightly across your arteries, and life is gone like blood that drains quickly...

How terrifying is it to take someone's life without making a sound?

The feeling of being targeted by this kind of person is like being planted with a time bomb. You never know what will explode and when you will die.

More importantly, this is a passive skill that does not require concentration to control one's actions.

Soon after, he came to the vicinity of Shijichocho, which is one of the prosperous areas in Tokyo. Even in the middle of the night, some people still walk on the zebra crossing.Most of them are young people or office workers. They get drunk in the izakaya, come out of the store with suits and jackets, and then help each other into the KTV... This is one of the ways people relieve stress.

But they didn't realize that the danger was lurking beside them. Maybe when they walked into the alley to vomit in the next second, a hand would reach into their throats and crush their internal organs.

Nozomi Arakawa wore a baseball cap with the brim pulled down, and walked down the street with his head down.

He just looks like a high school student, and wandering around on the street at this time will arouse suspicion from others.

Nozomi Arakawa was somewhat interested in the origin of the murderer.

As we all know, the human body is quite resilient, and it is impossible for a non-sharp object to pierce the subcutaneous fat layer. You can beat a person with facial fractures and bruises all over the body, but it is impossible to drill a person's skin with your fingers.

But that murderer can easily pierce his body with his hand, either because he is extremely strong, or because he is holding some kind of murder weapon.

But recalling the feeling of being stirred in the abdominal cavity, Nozomi Arakawa frowned. It didn't feel like he had stabbed something sharp into his body. The abdominal cavity felt like it was being torn apart. It was impossible for human beings to have such a sharp pain. With great power, it's not the anti-Japanese drama hand-splitting devil, that murderer is a bit strange.

Arakawa looked at the alley before, the dim lights were soft, and the walls were covered with bundled wires leading to the various residents' rooms.

He walked to the place where he was attacked before, and pulled out the wedge ball from the racket bag.

He is now confident that even in the face of that vicious murderer, he can cut off his arms within five strokes.

After looking around, I saw that there was no special place to hide in the alley. If I had to say... the trash can was a good place to hide someone.

Suddenly, a white and reddish object next to the trash can came into view. Arakawa saw the bloody white shirt he had thrown away before. To his surprise, the blood-stained part of the shirt became much lighter. There were water spots on it, and the fabric of the shirt was wrinkled and looked like it had been chewed and sucked.

blood sucking?

Has that perverted murderer returned?
Sirens sounded from far to near on the street, it was a police car patrolling.

Hearing the echo of the siren in his ear, Nozomi Arakawa suddenly understood something.

"Perhaps the two murders shown on TV were not caused by crazy wild dogs." He murmured, "The murderers are eating people, and the police have stepped up patrols because they know this, so they say the corpses were killed by wild dogs." I gnawed it. But that was not done by crazy wild dogs at all. Tokyo has very strict management of stray dogs. After stray dogs are caught, they will be publicized for 5 days to 1 week. If no one claims them, they will be sent to the "disposition machine" "Killing...the police didn't want to cause people to panic."

If the citizens know that there is a man-eating devil roaming in the city, the pressure on the Metropolitan Police Department will increase rapidly due to the people, the media and the government. It will disappear, and it will be difficult to find him at that time.

That murderer might really be a ghost or some other unknown dangerous creature.

But it's better this way...

Human laws cannot be applied to monsters, and laws do not protect demons and goblins.

At this time, his attention was shifted to the walls on both sides of the alley, where there were black footprints, to be precise, they should be footprints. The murderer didn't seem to be wearing shoes, which also explained why he was able to remain silent. Get close to prey without being noticed.

"How long has it been since I washed my feet... But the escape route is quite strange."

Arakawa looked at the black footprints, bent his legs slightly, and exerted strength.

After sitting opposite the ghost Buddha, his physical fitness also changed.He is not surprised by this, after all, after having battle memory in "Sekiro", the attack power can be strengthened, and the attack power comes from one's own physical fitness.

Therefore, strengthening attack power = strengthening physical fitness.

There is nothing wrong with this statement.

Nozomi Arakawa repeatedly jumped in front of the two walls, touched in through it, and reached the rooftop with astonishing leg strength.

The footprints on the roof stretched all the way forward, Nozomi Arakawa followed without hesitation, his figure was as vigorous as a wolf.

At this time, the murderer might still be wandering somewhere in the city. If he could find him earlier, he would be able to prevent a murder from happening earlier.

He carried the wedge pill and flew on the roof of the residential building, following the footprints along the way.
