Chapter 921 Volume 9 – Chapter 148: Empty City
The rain came slowly from the horizon; the flower blossoms here were diverse and colorful.
Without sunlight, the flying cherry blossom petals were not so bright. Obviously, this was not a suitable time for cherry blossom viewing.
Miki looked at the yellowed book lying on You Ye’s hands. It seemed that there was still some ink smell lingering. She did not take the book immediately.
Miki was alerted to the maid who killed her once. At this moment, You Ye’s polite smile made her unclear about the other party’s intentions.
She didn’t know much about the club from Eric. All she knew was that Eric was concerned about leveraging the club’s power and even appeared cautious.
Miki’s hesitation at the moment was not unreasonable. She frowned, looked at Luo Qiu, and was silent for a long time, “Story? What story?”
“Just read it.” Luo Qiu said calmly, “In fact, I have not finished the ending yet, so why don’t you give me some advice? By the way, this is Eric’s suitcase. How about we proceed after you finish reading it?”
Miki frowned again, opening her palm, and a light ball appeared in her palm. When this light ball appeared, it didn’t stop. Instead, another light ball emerged from her palm again, and then the third light ball emerged.
Then at an incredible speed, more light b.a.l.l.s continued to appear in Miki’s palm. They quickly merged into the first light ball.
However, within seven or eight seconds, a look of fatigue appeared on Miki’s face. She breathed a sigh of relief and then sent this thing out, “One-third. This is the said amount!”
“Please put it away.” Boss Luo gave the suitcase to Miki’s face. At the same time, the light ball containing a large number of genuine souls also came to him slowly.
Miki hugged the suitcase with both hands. Her expression relaxed slightly. She lowered her head and glanced at the suitcase, rubbing her palms on the old leather, showing a slight smile.
It was the first time Luo Qiu saw a smile on Miki’s face and looked at it interestingly.
After a while, Miki put the suitcase away and looked at You Ye. After a bit of hesitation, she finally accepted the book.
She didn’t open it immediately as if she was thinking about something, “Did she write it?”
“Almost so.” Boss Luo nodded, “I continued on a little bit. I wrote it according to her thoughts. But, of course, I am not her.”
“Really?” Miki nodded and suddenly said coldly, “If that’s the case, then I don’t need to read it. I know what’s written in it. I’ve always been by her side, but she never noticed me.”
Luo Qiu nodded and said, “Are you dissatisfied from the beginning?”
Miki shook her head and flipped her palm over. The book was ignited with a cyan demon beast fox fire. “It’s not a question of dissatisfaction. There is no need to read it anymore.”
Looking at the book burned by the demon beast fox fire, Luo Qiu stood indifferently. It wasn’t that he didn’t care about the existence of this book, it was just that under the burning of the demon beast fox fire, the book did not ignite.
“Huh?” Miki looked at it slightly in surprise, then frowned. She increased the heat of the demon beasting fire but still couldn’t make it burn.
She glanced at Luo Qiu, then gave a cold snort, grabbed it with both hands, intending to tear it. What made Miki even more furious was that she could not tear it!
“Are you showing off your strength?” Miki narrowed her eyes.
Luo Qiu shook his head, “It’s just because I want to give it to someone else in the end. If our Miki here destroys it, it will be bad.”
“Others?” Miki frowned, seemingly went into deep thought. Then, she suddenly looked at the ‘Inuyasha’ that was absorbed into the cherry tree roots on the side and said disdainfully, “Him? Then you will be disappointed. He will only become my nourishment and never wake up again!”
“In that case, it’s the same in Miss Miki’s hands.” Luo Qiu smiled slightly, “Then, I won’t bother you.”
With that said, after Miki’s incredible gaze, Boss Luo took the maid and Dazhe and left calmly.
Miki had an urge to keep these three people at this place. If she could absorb these three people, the cherry blossom tree would grow to the next level.
Even though Luo Qiu and the three had left, Miki still didn’t do anything. Somehow, she even breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relaxed because she didn’t make a move.
Carrying the suitcase, Miki came to Eric, who was healing, put the suitcase in Eric’s arms, and sat down like this, staring at Eric’s face.
Foolishly.
But she frowned suddenly and subconsciously glanced at the book that was put down next to her. After hesitating, Miki took a deep breath, went over, and lay the book flat on her lap. She finally turned to the first page.
“I have already settled my score with you. You can’t affect me.”
[Winter month accompanied by squeaking snow. The Nagato family ushered in a new life. It was a girl named Chizuko.]
…
The two women who tried the medicine were safe and sound. The news of them surviving through a month was not only spread through Unripe Rice Village at the fastest speed but also spread to Nagato’s household and naturally spread to Nagato Munechika’s ears.
There were many maids in the Nagato household. They were naturally looking forward to the magical medicine that could resolve the curse. It was just that the house rules of the Nagato family were strict. If Master Nagato didn’t speak it up openly, the women in the household could only stay put.
“I heard that the mysterious Sir Samurai has started to distribute magical medicine.”
“Yes, if we can get one… I just don’t know why the master…”
“Since the morning, the master seems to have never left the yard.”
“Master Saburo, did any of you see him? The master asked us to notify Master Saburo that the master wants to see him if you see Master Saburo.”
There was a lot of discussion in Nagato’s household.
In the courtyard of the old house where Nagato Munechika lived, Nagato Munechika, who appeared in his fifties, was sitting on his knees at this time. He was playing Oth.e.l.lo at this moment. The black and white pieces were at war against each other, but his opponent was not s.h.i.+nji Nagato sitting in front of him.
Nagato Munechika’s opponent was himself.
s.h.i.+nji Nagato watched Nagato Munechika play another white piece, which made the whole game even more unpredictable. He would be interested in watching this game if it were regular times, but now he seemed a little absent-minded.
“Father, does the mysterious samurai know about the dungeon?”
Nagato Munechika waved his hand, which was a gesture to silence s.h.i.+nji Nagato. Nagato Munechika once again grabbed a black piece and dropped it in a place that made the game even more chaotic.
A long time had pa.s.sed, s.h.i.+nji Nagato couldn’t help but ask again, “Father, please tell me!”
“Has Saburo come back?” Nagato Munechika suddenly stopped, looked at s.h.i.+nji Nagato, and asked.
s.h.i.+nji Nagato could only shake his head, “No one has seen Uncle Saburo since early in the morning. It is said that Uncle Saburo did not come back after he came out yesterday.”
“En.” Nagato Munechika nodded. “Get someone in the household who desires the medicine to get the medicine by themselves.”
“Father, if that happens, our long-term effort will be…” s.h.i.+nji Nagato was worried, “Besides, the origin of the mysterious samurai is really…”
“No worries.” Nagato Munechika said calmly, “I don’t believe that he will stay here forever. As for the magic medicine that can resolve the curse, I don’t believe it at all. Whether this curse is still there, only we know. If that guy notices anything, he can just speak the truth. There is no need to do this. But, he claimed that he could give out the so-called magic medicine, which is interesting.”
“Father, do you mean that this guy has no ulterior motives?” s.h.i.+nji Nagato was shocked. According to the servant who went to inquire yesterday, the mysterious samurai was not a mortal, “Then what is his real purpose? “
“Although the servant I inquired about came back with a report, you and I were not there in person, after all.” Nagato Munechika thought, “The authenticity is no longer discernable, but the intention will be revealed sooner or later. Therefore, it is better to stay put. s.h.i.+nji, tell the people in our household that if anyone wants to get the so-called magic medicine, then go. It’s best to get one pill for me to inspect it.”
When s.h.i.+nji heard it, he looked up at Nagato Munechika in reflex. He opened his mouth and was about to say something. Then, he heard the voice of someone speaking outside the door, “Master Saburo is back.”
Nagato Munechika did not place the next white piece but put it back into the chess box and said in a deep voice, “Then, let him come over and see me.”
…
Master Saburo not only came back by himself but he was also accompanied by another man, wielding a katana, who seemed to be a samurai.
In Nagato’s house, only one person went to the ritual plaza to inquire about it yesterday, so the rest of the people had not seen the appearance of this mysterious Sir Samurai. But some people already had speculation in their hearts.
The servant pa.s.sed Nagato Munechika’s intention.
Saburo Nagato looked at Mo Xiaofei at this time and said, “You wait here first. There are some things which I want to face my brother in person.
“Okay.” Mo Xiaofei didn’t hesitate too much and nodded directly after hearing the words.
After that, Saburo Nagato left directly.
Mo Xiaofei meditated here alone, closing his eyes and recovering his spirit. This was where Saburo Nagato lived. He used to live here with Haru Narukami.
Suddenly, a woman’s voice came, “Miss Chizuko, Miss Chizuko, where are you?”
This is Axiu’s voice. Mo Xiaofei had not forgotten the conversation with this handmaid in the woodshed. A trace of pity flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head.
It was just that the door outside was slowly pushed open at this time. A little girl was looking with her eyes open wide, seemingly puzzled. She didn’t understand why a stranger appeared here.
“We have met again.” Mo Xiaofei smiled at the little girl and said softly, “Don’t be afraid. I won’t do anything to you this time, and I apologize for what happened last time.”
The little girl was still puzzled.
Mo Xiaofei said quietly, “Chizuko Nagato, if possible, I hope I can give you another life…”
