Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 5 Ghoul

Fifteen minutes later, Wang Arakawa stood on the roof, looking at the dark alley below his feet.

"An alley again?"

Nozomi Arakawa walked on the roof of the building, following the footsteps to come here, the last remaining footprint on the edge of the high platform.

Presumably, the depths of this dark alley is the lair of the murderer. For the sake of caution, he did not go down, but chose to stand on the top of the building to search for the whereabouts of the murderer.

Under normal circumstances, people seldom pay attention to the top of their heads, so the moment they see a murderer, Nozomi Arakawa can launch an aerial attack, and if he doesn't miss, he can kill him with one blow.

Judging from the footprints, the murderer didn't seem to go out to commit crimes again tonight, but returned to his lair directly after attacking him.

Arakawa had a question in his heart.

"But then again, if it's cannibalism, why wasn't I eaten?"

His head started to hurt a little, and Nozomi Arakawa seemed to remember that when he was almost unconscious, he heard a certain voice...

While walking, Nozomi Arakawa gently stroked the blade with his thumb, and the blood flowed down the wound, but there was no immediate tendency to heal.

"I don't have extraordinary recovery ability either." Nozomi Arakawa touched his abdomen, "It's really strange."

There was a sudden sound of crisp footsteps at the entrance of the alley, which was the sound of round-toed leather shoes hitting the ground.

Arakawa crouched down to hide his body and looked towards the entrance of the alley, where a girl appeared at some point.

The girl walked deeper into the alley.

"What's going on?" Arakawa Wang had a big question mark in his mind.

A girl who looks like a high school student is still wandering out late at night?
Isn't it the student's duty to study?

Shouldn't you take a good rest at home now and prepare for tomorrow's wonderful school life?
Do you know that it's dangerous for a girl to wander out alone late at night, and it's not good for you to go anywhere, but you just walked in this alley, so you're really in a hurry to deliver food?

Wang Arakawa was a little anxious. Originally, he planned to find the whereabouts of the murderer on the roof of the building, which was a safe place with a good view.

But now I have to stop that girl, otherwise she may be in danger, but in that case, my advantage will be lost.

Imagine that Jing Ke was going to assassinate Qin Shihuang, and came to see him with a single hand, but Qin Wuyang who was beside him suddenly jumped out like he had eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's guts, and said, Qin Wang Laozi has been unhappy with you for a long time, how about we come and have a fork? Then the situation had to change from an assassination to a duel.

At this moment, Arakawa Wang is Jing Ke, and the girl is Qin Wuyang.

"Got you."

Just when Nozomi Arakawa was about to speak to stop her, the corner of the girl's mouth curled up, and she ran towards the depths of the alley.

"What are you going to do..." Nozomi Arakawa was about to jump, but stopped his body the next moment.

Because he saw the blue light gathered in the girl's hands.

"what is that?"

Arakawa Wang was shocked.

I saw the girl put her five fingers together, put her left hand on her right arm, and a beam of blue light shot out, hitting a garbage bin in the alley.

"Roar ah ah ah!!!"

The dustbin burst instantly, and the iron sheets flew, and a figure fell out of it, howling in pain, like a wounded beast.

His right sleeve was empty, and the tattered hood was completely gone, revealing a horrible face, rotten and foul-smelling, covered with writhing maggots, and yellow pus and blood dripped from under the worn clothes.

"Damn, your body is so rotten, how can you still live?"

Nozomi Arakawa was so startled that he uttered Chinese. This is no longer a human being, right?

Because only corpses can rot like this.

"You have nowhere to escape." The girl lowered her voice, "Go to hell!"

The girl raised her arm again, this time not only her right hand, but also blue light spots appeared in the space around her, like floating fireflies.

"Spell? Magic?"

Nozomi Arakawa narrowed his eyes, intending to wait and see what happened.

The murderer intends to run away, but his right leg has been broken. He is as weak as a lamb in front of the girl, and the only thing waiting for him is the fate of death.

Just as the girl was about to launch the blue missile, a dark figure flashed out from the intersection behind her.

"Could it be more than one murderer!?" Arakawa Wang was extremely surprised.

He descended from the top of the building, and the height of 8 meters is not a problem for him now.

Wedge Maru shone with a cold light, the blade was sharp, and Arakawa Nozomi, who was going towards the shadow, opened his eyes in surprise after seeing the shadow clearly, and then instantly turned the blade and turned to use the back of the blade, the blade that was supposed to hit the shadow's wrists It was chopped on the ground, and sparks popped out.

He turned his body and kicked the black shadow's knee, and the latter cried out in pain.

"So you are human."

The tip of Wedge Maru pointed at the shadow, a middle-aged bald man in a cheap black suit, looking like an office worker.

The girl turned around when she noticed the movement, and screamed in surprise when she saw Arakawa looking over.

"Nissan?"

"Nissan?" Arakawa looked stunned for a moment, was she calling herself or the bald man?
If you are calling that bald man... then their mother is really healthy. The age difference between the two brothers and sisters is at least 30 years.

"Please, my son is mentally ill, don't hurt him!" the bald man said in panic.

"Son?" Arakawa looked startled, "That's your son!?"

"I finally found him, he is not a murderer!" The bald man begged so hard that he almost fell to his knees before Nozomi Arakawa.

"Wake up, your son has turned into a ghoul!" the girl said bluntly, "You should know about the two recent murders in the city, they are your son's masterpiece!"

"Impossible! My son has always been very obedient! He wouldn't do such an outrageous thing!" The bald man bowed down in a sincere attitude.

Arakawa noticed the movement behind him, turned around, and understood something.

"Damn! This man is buying his son time to escape!"

Nozomi Arakawa was about to catch up, but the man held his feet firmly, with astonishing strength.

"Don't worry, he can't escape."

The girl said that she made a mudra with one hand, and blue light spots flew from her side to the depths of the alley in an instant. In less than ten seconds, with screams all over her body, the murderer was dragged by a net intertwined with blue light. When he came back, he struggled hard, but to no avail, his limbs were tightly bound.

"Are you..."

The bald man was frightened when he saw this scene, but he got up immediately, knocked Arakawa Nozomi and the girl away, and rushed towards his son.

But after seeing his son's ugly face and wild beast-like struggle, he collapsed.

"Do you understand?" The girl's voice came from behind, "He is no longer your son, what is in front of you now is just a monster acting on instinct."

"Why is this happening? My son, my son!" The bald man picked up the murderer on the ground and cried tiredly.

This is the result of months of hard searching. In order to find his son, he even quit his hard-won job.
