[Slow Wear] Assassin System

the hunt begins

After Yu Guangzhongzheng proposed a bold idea, Miao Xuan's first reaction was that it was feasible.

The monsters in this world are something they will definitely face in the future, and Yuguang Zhongzheng's current body is no longer a weak physique that will get sick when he is scared, so it is not a bad idea for him to practice.

But is this thing dangerous?

very dangerous.

Miao Xuan doesn't know much about that monster now. He doesn't know how the monster captures young children. It doesn't matter if he is the only one with a gun, but Yu Guangzhong is a mortal body. will die.

So he had to bring the Zen master... Even if this monk can't breastfeed, he can still be a meat...

Miao Xuan moved his dangerous eyes to Zen Master Zaixue, but Yu Guangzhong thought that the dragon gun would not allow him to go, so he ran over and hung it on Miao Xuan's neck accurately.

"Take me, take me!"

Miao Xuan was almost out of breath, and suddenly understood the hardships of the old father: "Wait a minute—I'll just take you there!"

It is impossible for Yu Guangzhong to hide behind him all the time, he has to face it by himself, what if the child encounters a monster when he is not around one day?This time he released an auxiliary equipment [Wings of Redemption], a protection period for newbies on the road...

"Then it's a deal!" Yuguang Zhongzheng got what he wanted, and he smiled, "Leave the matter this time to me! I'll go to that so-called Shigemitsu Izumi and say, just follow me."

After finishing speaking, the kid leaned closer to Miao Xuan's ear: "Bring the monk and the half-armed guards, and try them this time!"

Miao Xuan: "..."

This little bastard is quite a thief...

-----

After everything was settled, Miao Xuan packed the luggage for Yuguang Zhongzheng, and Yu Guangzhongzheng took Zen Master Zaixue to find Izumi Shigeyoshi, the general of the garrison here.

To be honest, the name Izumi Shigeyoshi Yuguang Zhongzheng is also somewhat familiar, but he always feels that he remembers it wrong. The most vivid impression is the surname Izumi, but it is not a problem whether he can remember it or not, after all, in this world where monsters are rampant , All historical facts are fed to the dogs.

When the door of the combat conference room was opened, Izumi Shigeyoshi was sitting behind his desk with a serious face, and he immediately raised his head when he heard the voice: "How is it? Did the governor reply——Little Master?"

The man's urgent expression suddenly changed, and he frowned subconsciously, looking quite impatient: "What are you doing here?"

Man-eating monsters are preying on the children of innocent people's homes. Gouda's army is stationed not far away. The drought has caused refugees and famine to spread everywhere. In this crisis-ridden moment, Shigeyoshi Izumi really does not want to accompany this exile little kids playing house.

Yuguang Zhongzheng was not in a hurry, he sat down directly opposite Izumi Shigeyoshi: "I am patrolling on behalf of my father, naturally I want to take care of monsters who dare to eat people in my territory, and give me all the information you know .”

Izumi Shigeyoshi almost laughed at his righteousness: "Here? What can you do? Are you going to reduce demons?!"

However, he didn't expect that the young master on the opposite side actually responded, "That's right, I'll go and kill the monster myself."

Izumi Shigeyoshi was surprised: "But you...you are a child, you know that monster—"

"I know, so what?" Yu Guangzhong sneered, "I don't care about so many assassinations, and I don't need you this time. I can't pursue you no matter whether I live or die. You just need to give me the information. It is enough to appease those people!"

These words were really beyond Izumi Shigeyoshi's expectations, he thought it was a child's play, but he never thought that he was ready to fight for his life.

And he was right, he was always pretending to be stupid in the face of the assassination force and Shigeyoshi Izumi, but this time, this time...

Izumi Shigeyoshi was in a complicated mood. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the former Lord Deha, that cold and brave hero. He was also so powerful on the battlefield, but unfortunately he died in the hands of the assassin.

I heard that the young master scolded the family governor face to face, and even bit off half of the eldest son's ear...

Izumi Shigeyoshi let out a long sigh: "I'll just give it to you."

He lowered his head and did not meet the child's eyes: "You... well, I wish you prosperity in martial arts."

Tadama Yumitsu managed to obtain complete information, and at the same time obtained a reliable guide from Shigeyoshi Izumi.

"Dragon Spear! We're leaving tonight!" He returned to his room, and at this time all his team members for this operation had gathered outside his room:

Three frightened attendants, a samurai who volunteered to surrender, a monk who came from who knows where, and a borrowed guide.

Miao Xuan looked at such a group of people, and Xin Dao said that there were probably only one or five people who could use them against monsters, monks as assistants, and warriors counted as half.

Yu Guangzhongzheng didn't know his dragon gun's slander, and directly carried the spear still wrapped in white cloth on his shoulder: "Let's go! I will come back with that ghost's head in a few days, and I will throw it on Izumi Shigeyoshi. On the forehead."

Such a group of stragglers was officially on the road, and the guide walked dully at the forefront with a numb face; Zen Master Zaixue still smiled silently as always, as if he was fixing the NPC.

Knowing that the purpose of this trip was to slay ghosts, all the attendants panicked but did not dare to act rashly. A few days ago, one of their companions was beheaded for public display because of an assassination. This incident frightened them.

But the samurai Ando Hanbei looked eager to try, and at the same time he was a little uneasy. He asked Tadamasa Yuguang in a low voice: "My lord, I heard that you need a magic weapon to kill demons, and even iron can't kill them."

Yu Guangzhong was holding the spear in his hand: "You don't have to be afraid, I'll take it."

The samurai looked suspiciously at the weapon tightly wrapped in white cloth, and didn't ask anything after all.

-----

The village where the monsters are rampant is not far from the Moyu sentry post. In these villages, there are people from the former Yu country and people from Jin. The number of the former is higher. Cherish a peaceful life even more.

But now the monsters who eat children appear, disrupting the harvest season.

"It's ahead..." the guide reported in a low voice, "The village ahead has lost five children, one baby, two girls and two boys."

The guide was silent for a while, then added: "There is also a pregnant woman."

Yu Guangzhong frowned: "Take us directly to the village. There should be someone like a village chief in this village?"

"Yes." The guide led the horse, "They already know that you are coming, and they should be waiting now."

Indeed, there were already people waiting. Almost all the people in this village came from several neighboring villages, and there were even homeless and wandering victims.

In the early morning mist, they were waiting at the entrance of the village. The mother was holding the child, and the father was dragging the weapon. When they saw Yuguang Zhongzheng's horses and carriages, all of them knelt down scatteredly.

In this era, noble warriors and commoners live in two worlds, and the two can even be regarded as two species. Most of the commoners are thin and short, with black and yellow skin, crooked teeth, and panic-stricken expressions. The child was slightly better, but looked just as miserable.

At this moment, Yu Guangzhong suddenly had a ridiculous idea: Those ghosts who only eat people must not be full, right?

...Then his bait should be more attractive.

It was the guide He Zaixue who communicated with the people. The people trusted the monks, but Yuguang Zhongzheng couldn't even understand their words. He secretly observed the people around him, and found that no matter whether it was a samurai or an attendant, he turned a blind eye to these commoners.

Yu Guangzhong got off his horse and walked to the Zen master: "Let them all gather together these few nights."

The Zen master replied in a low voice: "They are already doing this, but there are still children who will disappear in the daytime...Ghosts cannot suppress their desires, and they will try their best to hunt for food."

Yu Guangzhong was silent for a moment, then turned to Miao Xuan: "Dragon Spear? Can I trust you?"

Miao Xuan smiled: "Yes."

Yuguang Zhongzheng made a decision: "You let them find a place big enough to drive all the babies, children, their mothers and pregnant women there at night - all, all the surrounding villages and refugees. The man just Stand outside, managed by you and half soldiers, and I will wait inside with Dragon Spear."

The order from the ruling class was quickly implemented. After the villagers selected the place, they were gathered together by Ando Hanbing as if shepherding sheep. It was a temple among several villages, and it enshrined a stone statue of a Bodhisattva with vague eyebrows. Babies and toddlers are held in the arms of their mothers.

The temple is not big, thin children are crowded together, women are around the outermost, the baby is held by older children, two oil lamps are lit by the altar, the air is dull, and the smell of animal excrement flows.

Before dusk, almost all the people around gathered here.

Obviously the execution of the order was very smooth, but Yu Guangzhong was looking at the sheep-like numb crowd, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

In this era, how is it like this?

This is different from the things in those games, different from the familiar era, and even more different from what he imagined.

Yu Guangzhong sat directly on the high platform where the Bodhisattva was. Holding a heavy spear in his hand, he looked down at the terrified and numb crowd. Their lives were like the property of the lord daimyo, who were divided and robbed together with the land and livestock food. .

Perhaps only the samurai nobility, those truly metropolitan people, can live like individuals?

"Dragon Spear...do you think this is okay?" Zhongzheng Yu Guang suddenly asked softly.

Miao Xuan was unfolding his mental strength, and he was taken aback when he heard his words: "What?"

Yu Guangzhong asked nonchalantly: "Is the life of these villagers okay? They are like animals... Are all people in this era like this?"

Miao Xuan looked at Yuguang Zhongzheng with some surprise, and saw his own reflection in his dark pupils.

This kid...would even think of this.

"Don't you like it? This kind of world." Miao Xuan asked softly, "Then go and change it, you can do it."

Yu Guangzhong was holding the Dragon Spear in his arms: "Then will you be with me?"

Miao Xuan: "...Yes."

-----

The night was getting darker, and the smell of the wind blowing grains penetrated into the temple slightly. Men held torches and surrounded the temple, led by warriors and monks, waiting in full force.

Miao Xuan looked at the layout outside the temple through the small map, and found that Hanbei Ando had some basics in leading the army, not knowing anything.

Martial arts are outstanding, and they can lead soldiers, which is considered a good talent among human beings in this era.

In the monastery, some ignorant children couldn't stand it and fell asleep. The women were close together, and the yard was not very ventilated, and it was still warm.

The oil lamp on the altar emits two halos, shining on Yuguang Zhongzheng from bottom to top. It is obvious that this is only a half-grown child holding a long-handled weapon, but when he looks down from top to bottom, he is inexplicably majestic. intimidating.

The crying of fear disappeared due to exhaustion, everyone was waiting, Yu Guangzhong was lowering his eyes halfway, Miao Xuan looked at the child, and couldn't help but patted his head; "Go to sleep."

Yuguang Zhongzheng: "No need, I can wait"

Miao Xuan sighed: "If you can't sleep now, what should you do if you don't grow taller? If you can't sleep, just recite."

Yuguang Zhongzheng: ...

Yu Guangzhong was leaning on Longqiang, regardless of whether it was true or not, he fell asleep immediately.

And when Yu Guangzhong really woke up, it was already dawn the next day.

That night, the ghost suppressed the desire to eat people, and it didn't appear.

The villagers didn't know whether it was because of rejoicing or disappointment, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to disband and go home, Yu Guangzhong threw the dragon spear on the ground: "Everyone, don't move."

In the astonished eyes of everyone, he issued an order: "The patrolling men rest in place, and the women go to the house together to get food and water—monk, Ando, ​​follow them, and all children are not allowed to move!"

People looked at each other in blank dismay, and although they were full of doubts, they did it. Everything went smoothly, and the people who took the water returned safely, but everyone was still not allowed to leave the small temple.

All physical activities are restricted here, including Yu Guang Zhongzheng himself.

Yu Guangzhong knew that the ghost was still wandering around - all the surrounding villages and even the refugees were gathered here by him. If the ghost gave up this place, he could only go east, and to the east he needed to browse through a section of hills. There is no child to feed him when he crosses the mountains.

The ghost will not leave, it is waiting, and he is waiting.Ghosts cannot suppress their desires, they will try their best to hunt.

The second day passed like this, but the ghost still did not come, and the third day passed, and people were still waiting in vain.

The samurai Hanbei caught a few men who left without authorization, and they knelt in front of Yu Guangzhong and cried that the fields at home needed to be harvested.

So more and more men sneaked away.

On the fourth day, Yu Guangzhongzheng suddenly announced: "Today is the last day. If the ghost still doesn't come today, then I will return to my fortress tomorrow."

This is the last day of waiting, the samurai Hanbei couldn't understand why his little master made such a decision, but he carried it out silently, turning a blind eye to those men who sneaked away, but He stared closely at the pregnant women and children who were still in the courtyard.

The sky gradually darkened, and the setting sun shot through the gaps in the dilapidated temple, splashing scarlet colors on the Bodhisattva.

Yu Guangzhong was jumping down from the altar, silently holding the spear in his arms.

"Dragon Gun, those villagers have already run away halfway, right? I think that ghost can't bear it anymore." He said to the black-armored general beside him, "It's time...to get it out."

Miao Xuan saw everything he did: "Go."

So Yu Guangzhong paid a solemn visit with the spear on the altar, and the benevolent Bodhisattva was looking down at him, then he turned around and strode out of the courtyard in the dim sunset.

He said to the Zen master guarding the door: "Don't follow, I'll relieve you."

The author has something to say:

During the Warring States period, daimyo samurai often had the custom of inheriting the taboo names of their predecessors in their names, especially when looking at the genealogy. This feature is particularly obvious. A series of people have a word in their names, such as the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren. , Junzong, Zhongjun; three generations of Date-Huizong, Masamune, Zhongzong; three generations of Oda-Nobuhide, Nobunaga, Nobuo (eldest grandson), Nobukichi (second grandson), Nobutada (third grandson); four generations of grandparents Matsudaira-Kyoyasu, Hirochu, Tokugawa Ieyasu (this person changed his surname), Shinyasu, and so on.

It is very common to change names and surnames. For example, Ieyasu Tokugawa changed his name four times in total.

Moreover, they only come and go with these few good words, what religion, what belief, what loyalty, random benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust.
