Chapter 101 Exploring the Scabbard

"Your father - said you are a sword?" Hui Yuan initially found it unbelievable, "Such strange words...did he say it to you personally?"

"Yeah." Yukinoshita Saya only answered in one word.

"What about yourself? Don't you think what he said is crazy?"

"once."

"Ever?...Do you mean you didn't believe this before?" Hui Yuanchu narrowed his eyes, "What happened later?"

He remembered that before Yukinoshita Katsumi's death, in everyone's impression, Yukinoshita Saya was just a shy and introverted ordinary girl.

She also admitted this herself today... So, what was the moment that made her no longer normal?
"Later, Sister Setsuko died." Yukinoshita Saya's eyes were a little hollow.

Hui Yuan was shocked.

Yukinoshita Saya continued with a somewhat dazed look: "Then, my father also died.

"When my father died, I saw it with my own eyes——"

She raised her hand, stretched out a finger, and touched it lightly in the air.

As Yukinoshita Saya moved her fingers, a flat blade-shaped vision appeared from the void at her fingertips, flashing instantly.

Hui Yuanchu was suddenly horrified, feeling some kind of killing brushing past the skin on his face.

——"Stab", accompanied by an unpleasant sharp friction sound, a mark flashed from left to right a little above his head, and penetrated deeply into the walls to Hui Yuanchu's left and right and behind him.

"...I'm sorry, senior, I will pay for this too."

"No, it's not important at all." Hui Yuanchu looked back at the mark that was one finger deep and three finger wide, and was a little surprised.

It was obvious that Yukinoshita had controlled her strength - she only used the strength of shaking a finger - otherwise, she could easily cut open the entire building.

"Senior, have you seen it too? That one is me..." Yukinoshita Saya also stared at the trace and said, "It's the real me."

... She can't figure out the relationship between spiritual vision, physical body, and self.Poor, it turns out there is a big problem with self-perception.Hui Yuanchu thought.

He wanted to explain a few words, but heard Yukinoshita Saya continue: "Yes, I killed my father."

"——Because he wants to kill you, right?" Haiyuanchu recalled the information Nakano had said - the forging hammer in Katsumi Yukinoshita's hand, and the wound on Saya's head.

Recalling the testimony about Yukinoshita Katsumi's long-term abuse of Saya, Haihara shook his head and said, "Yukiyuki, you were just defending yourself."

"No, I am killing people." Yukinoshita Saya insisted, "Because I am Yukitsu... and the Yukitsu sword is meant to kill people close to me, or the owner. This is fate."

Huiyuan didn't like it at first, but he didn't know what to say.

He finally understood roughly what happened to Yukinoshita Saya.

——He was brainwashed by Katsumi for unknown purposes since he was a child.

——Finally persisted in being himself until adulthood, but encountered the "fate" of relatives and friends dying one after another.

——Even if the instigator, Katsumi, was killed, the incident itself became the "proof" of fate.

——Plus she saw her spiritual vision with her own eyes.She doesn't know what spiritual vision is, she just thinks that this terrifying and unknown destructive power comes from herself.

Then, Yukinoshita Saya began to collapse.

Instead she began to explain everything in terms of self-denial.The dead, in another form, are forever entangled with Yukinoshita Saya.

There seems to be something missing, a little bit of heat...

...No, wait.There is another key - another important key that Yukinoshita Saya just revealed.

"Yukiyuki, I want to ask you something else." Haiyuan raised his head and stared at Yukinoshita Saya, "——You just said that Setsuko Matsumoto is dead."

"Ah."

"So, you saw the scene when I was fighting under the Gensetsukai Building... By the way, there was also the time when I protected Aizawa from being killed in the corridor." Haiyuan slowed down and asked cautiously. , "In your eyes, who were the people who fought with me twice?"

"I'm sorry, that's me, senior. It's also part of me."

Hui Yuanchu breathed out a breath.

Another puzzle solved.He knew what the "Matsumoto Setsuko" they saw was.

——Not only is he a part of Yukinoshita Saya's evil spirit body, but he also possesses a certain "independence" that even Yukinoshita Saya cannot detect.

——Using the image that plays an important role in Yukinoshita Saya's memory as the "personality representative".

——Does not actually have an entity, and therefore avoids contact with entities.

This being who possesses these concepts...is the "Messenger".

As always, He is parasitic in the soul of the ascended soul, using the image that has the most profound impression on her as a disguise to guide her in a way that she cannot detect.

...Yes, it’s guidance.

Hui Yuanchu finally realized that the collapse of Yukinoshita Saya was led by the messenger.

The room fell into silence again for a while.

The puzzle is almost solved.Hui Yuan was thinking about what actions he should take.

According to what Oruru Aoi said, he and Yukinoshita Saya can only move freely until tomorrow morning.

When he first learned about the annihilation order, Hui Yuan consulted the information and roughly understood why the annihilation order was issued at this stage.

To put it simply and cruelly, it was just because Yukinoshita Saya could still be killed.

Her domain of domination has not yet unfolded.At this stage, as long as the Ascendant is killed... everything will be settled without leaving any pollution.

In this case, Hui Yuanchu had a clear plan for what he wanted to do.

——He wants to force Yukinoshita Saya to expand her domain.

In this case, even if the group's annihilation order is issued, it can only be terminated.

Not only because it is almost impossible to move within the ruling domain, but also because the emergence of the ruling domain itself means that the ascended soul has taken a critical step and changed its life form... In fact, it is no longer killable.

Of course, normally speaking, such a spiritual ascendant is already hopeless.They are just one step away from becoming evil spirits, and there is no turning back.

However, Ash originally possessed the power of the Creator.He believed that he could fix Yukinoshita Saya with the Creator's Mud before the last step.

...However, it would be best not to attempt such a dangerous maneuver in this apartment.

Hui Yuanchu raised his head and said politely: "Xue Zhi, it's already very late..."

"I sleep here." Yukinoshita Saya looked at him and said bluntly.

"...No!" Hui Yuanchu had no choice but to say decisively, "Aren't you going to obey my orders? Then leave here now."

Yukinoshita Saya obediently got up.

But after taking the first step, her movements slowed down.The second step was like stepping into a quagmire.

Yukinoshita Saya stood still.

"Senior, are you going to abandon me too?" She turned her back to Hui Yuanchu and whispered.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Hui Yuanchu always felt that he could hear emotion from her voice... moreover, it was "fear".

But he didn't have time to comfort her, because he caught another word that he couldn't ignore: "...'also'? Who else?"

"She also said the same to me... 'My first order is, go and find your next master'."

"Ta? Who?"

"A person...who almost became my master, but abandoned me in the end"

Hui Yuanchu was shocked.

Because this person is definitely not Yukinoshita Urushi or Matsumoto Setsuko - it has reached this point, and there is a new character appearing?
Moreover, during the investigation of Yukinoshita Saya's past experiences by the disposal team, they were not aware of the existence of such a person at all!

Are you kidding? This is not a passerby.This is the person who has established a bond with Yukinoshita Saya...

Huiyuan's thoughts suddenly changed, and a series of thoughts came to mind: hiding himself, manipulating intelligence, maybe that person is...

Hui Yuanchu hurriedly asked, "Tell me who that person is?"

Yukinoshita Saya didn't answer him, she just fell into an atmosphere that could be called "blank" and frowned rarely.

After a while, she relaxed her brows and said lightly: "I forgot. Now, I only remember senior."

Huiyuan tried to ask: "Yukishita, this issue is very important to me."

"I really don't remember."

Hui Yuan initially felt that this answer was a bit unbelievable.

But Yukinoshita Saya is not a person who can make excuses, and she just promised to do everything for Haihara Chu.

Therefore, the fact that she said this means that she really does not remember.At the same time, it also means - "... Yukinoshita, there is something wrong with your memory?"

"I don't know." After a pause, Snow Under the Snow said quietly, "I may have killed that memory, or me during that time, so I don't remember."

"...Can this kind of thing be done?"

"After all, it's killing. That's what knives are for."

Hui Yuanchu thought for a moment and nodded: "I believe you."

"So, do you remember why she abandoned you?" Then he changed the question.

"Remember. She said that she is not my real master. She said that I can wait for the real master in Silent Hill." After a pause, Sandy Snow looked up again, staring straight at Hui Yuanchu and said, " Yes, I’ve been waiting.”

Hui Yuanchu interrupted her decisively: "No, I'm not."

"——If you think I am, then just obey my order and leave." He added.

Yukinoshita Saya didn't listen, she just stood there stubbornly.

After a period of silence that could be called "terrible", Yukinoshita Saya finally took steps again.

But instead of leaving according to Hui Yuanchu's original order, she turned around and walked towards him.The girl walked up to him, turned around, and sat on the small piece of bed between his legs.

In a moment of astonishment, Hui Yuanchu felt a hot body squeeze directly into his arms, clinging to his thighs, chest, and abdomen.

"I'm sorry, senior..."

At the same time, his field of vision was suddenly occupied by Yukinoshita Saya's long black hair.

In Huiyuan's original impression, Yukinoshita Saya never had the idea of ​​"cleaning herself up", so her hair always seemed to be greasy and knotted...but not now.What he saw now was smooth long hair.

The scent of shampoo is in the air,
Hui Yuanchu suddenly realized something - Yukinoshita Saya seemed to have come here after specially taking a shower.

She made a low, somewhat muffled plea: "Please don't abandon me... Please, hold me."

Hui Yuanchu was shocked.

He let out a long sigh, then stretched out his hand to hug the girl in his arms.

"Please...touch me." She continued to say in a voice as thin as a mosquito.

So, Haiyuan put his hand under Yukinoshita Saya's clothes and placed it on her belly.

The moment skin came into contact, the girl's body tensed up.

Hui Yuanchu could feel it in his palm.The skin on Yukinoshita Saya's abdomen was also smooth and elastic.Under the skin, there is no excess fat, only the shape of the abdominal muscles formed by years of exercise.

Hui Yuanchu couldn't help but spread out his five fingers and gently scratched the skin with his fingertips like plucking strings.

"Hmm..." Yukinoshita Saya made a sound of unknown meaning, but it seemed that she couldn't bear it.

Hui Yuan initially felt as if he was being guided by that voice.His hands were divided into two directions, one way up and the other way down.

Next, the girl finally began to twitch her body unbearably, and at the same time, more messy sounds leaked from her teeth.

Haiyuan rested his chin on Yukinoshita Saya's shoulder, closed his eyes, and groped unconsciously with his hands. At the same time, many empty thoughts came to his mind -

--very sensitive.

——But it’s still very ordinary. Such a physical reaction is really ordinary.

…Because, really, this is just the reaction of ordinary people.

"Yuki... is it comfortable?" He didn't know when, he seemed to start talking to himself.

"Um……"

"However, knives are not comfortable."

"Also... um... maybe..."

"Besides. Why did Aizawa ask me for help that time? It would have been better just to let her die."

"...No, no...Ah."

"Also, when you killed...well, let's call him Xiao Lin. When you killed Xiao Lin, string string was also there, right? Why did you let her go? You have to kill her again later. It's so troublesome. ah."

"...Ugh..."

The Zen of the Soul is spreading, and the tentacles of the spirit are wrapped around the girl's body, licking all the information with unprecedented tenderness.

The words, thoughts, touches, hot body, flowing sweat, and tears in the corners of the eyes were all intertwined together and merged into a conclusion.

"So, you are obviously just an ordinary person, just Yukinoshita... Because of the sword, you don't care how many people you kill." Hui Yuanchu murmured to himself.

He felt a certain loss, an emptiness in his heart.

"——Ah!" The girl suddenly let out an uncontrollable cry.

"Come in, come on... just like... return to the scabbard..." She lay on Hui Yuanchu's chest, raised her head and looked up at Hui Yuanchu, raised her hand, and lightly touched his face.

Hui Yuanchu was lost in thought.

In his field of vision, the system's choice branch appeared again:
[Side mission: The wish to behead the ghost (4/5)]

[Exploring the inside of Yukinoshita Saya's scabbard is the master's right. 】

[Choice appears: Enter Yukinoshita Saya's scabbard, and as the owner, swear ownership of her for the first time. 】

【Yes】

[——Reward: God Killing Blade.You will get your exclusive weapon.She will never betray you, she will always accompany you, she will always use your will for everything, and provide you with the most efficient killing method - even if the enemy is a god. 】

【no】

【--mission failed. 】

The system's instructions were clear: He should choose "yes."Then he would gain weapons, and Yukinoshita Saya would gain peace.

It has been proven many times before that as long as you follow the guidance of the system, you will definitely get good results.

But this time Hui Yuan didn't want to choose.For some reason, he just felt that the system's options and related descriptions this time were very eye-catching and made him unhappy.

Hui Yuan was thinking about it, and unknowingly, the feeling of being hugged in his arms and held in his hands gradually came to the surface of his consciousness.

...Yes, that's it. Hui Yuanchu suddenly realized something - it felt wrong.

She is so hot and soft, both physically and mentally.

Therefore, she cannot be a knife, nor can she become a knife.

——Don't let the shell swallow her up.

Haiyuan withdrew his hand somewhat coldly, and then gently pushed Yukinoshita Saya from behind.

Yukinoshita Saya rushed forward.She fell down on the tatami, her legs were weak, and her breathing was still slow. She couldn't stand up for a while, so she could only raise her head in confusion and look at Hui Yuanchu.

Hui Yuanchu looked at her gently: "...Forget it, Yukinoshita. You are not a sword at all. Whether it is mentally or physically.

"Your spirit is just that of an ordinary person. Because you actually want to protect the people around you. Does Dao care about such a thing?"

"See how your own body reacts..."

Looking at Yukinoshita's body with some pity, Haiyuan shook his head and expressed his conclusion: "——You just want to be a sword."

--very pitiful.

Yukinoshita Saya's self-awareness has indeed become alienated.From Hui Yuanchu's point of view, the thoughts she expressed were often confusing. The human perspective and the knife perspective were confused, and even she couldn't tell them apart... But that didn't matter.What really made Hui Yuan feel a little sad was the fact that the girl wanted to become a sword.It's sad just to think about why this happened.

The girl was still lying there, still staring at him expressionlessly.

"There's nothing I can do about my body, I can't control it..." After a long time, she said indifferently: "But I can try not to think about it."

"No, no." Haiyuan leaned forward, stared at Yukinoshita Saya, and emphasized, "I don't want a knife, and I don't want a toy."

"Because Dao doesn't know what love is. Even if I save you, you won't feel grateful."

"I will respond to anyone who asks me for help...but you have to be a human being first."

Yukinoshita Saya hurriedly raised her upper body and said nervously: "Senior, you——"

Hui Yuanchu directly interrupted her and said, "—Have you really decided to be a knife or a human being?"

"If you were a knife, then there is only one order I would give - you go." Hui Yuanchu shrugged and nonchalantly said what a scumbag said, "We have broken up, don't pester me anymore."

"The bond... I admit that the only person I can form a bond with is ordinary Yukinoshita Saya."

Judging from her expression, Yukinoshita Saya fell into confusion: "I, I..."

After being frozen for a moment, she stood up unsteadily.

After standing there for a moment, Yukinoshita Saya finally seemed to have made a decision.

"Senior, I finally found you. I won't let you go." She lowered her head and her voice began to choke.

"Finally - I finally found a master who cannot be killed no matter how many times I try, a master who I can always be by his side -"

"But the senior is right. I am not mature yet, and there are still impurities in my thinking. Sure enough, my father's forging is meaningful..." She said as if talking to herself, while turning around Go, "——I will kill Aizawa...I will become your purest sword."

Hui Yuan was a little stunned at first. He didn't expect her thinking to be so radical?To run all the way in the direction of hopelessness? ?

"——Wait, Yukino!" He wanted to jump up from the bed and rush to stop Yukinoshita Saya.

However, Yukinoshita Saya had already turned around, raised her arms, and opened her wrists and fingers with gentle movements - and then turned into the most violent claw-waving movements.

--call.

Huiyuan heard some kind of roaring sound, and at the same time, several bright straight lines appeared in his field of vision.

It was as if there was an invisible sickle and weasel blowing in the wind, and it passed by him in an instant.

Before Hui Yuanchu had time to raise his hand to defend, he had already lost his hand.

Then his vision flipped and fell, and he saw his body being cut into countless pieces, falling from mid-air.

Half of Haiyuan's head fell on the tatami, and when he looked out from the remaining eyeball, he saw Yukinoshita Saya standing there, maintaining the last gesture of waving her claws, breathing fiercely.

Finally, she finally calmed down.

"Senior, please take a nap first. Wait for me...wait for the purer version of me to come back." She said in a dull voice.

- "click"

The last sound Hui Yuanchu heard before losing consciousness was the sound of the door lock closing with gentle movements.

[Side mission: The wish to behead the ghost (4/5)]

【mission failed. 】

[Hidden Mission: Behead the Ghost’s Heart]

【If you don't want a knife, what do you want?Her heart? 】
