Or--

"Is this actually the 'Sanzu River'?"

Asamamiya Kamiko raised her eyes and murmured subconsciously.

"...Yes, you are right, this is indeed the Sanzu River, and I am your ferryman - pay the toll quickly!"

That's when.

A joking voice sounded in the witch's ears.

Asamamiya Kamiko's eyes were slightly startled. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure standing at the entrance of the alley.

She was stunned.

Then he suddenly realized, "Your Excellency the Spiritual King?"

Li Re, who had followed the trajectory of the previous scene to chase the source and came here, shook his head: "You all call me the Spirit King - it's reasonable to be the ferryman of the 'Sanzu River', right?"

"Actually, I am the ferryman. Quickly V me fifty. I will avenge you and kill the shogunate!"

Hearing this rather ridiculous remark, Asamamiya Kamiko pursed her red lips and said, "It seems that it was really Your Excellency the Spiritual King - you who saved me?"

"I guess so..." Li Re walked over and said, "But your interpersonal relationships are really poor. Looking at the situation, I'm afraid you have been 'ambushed' by the players of the entire Japanese country?"

Li Re, who saw the scene before the flashback, could tell at a glance - he went from here to there, tracing the source and looking for the witch in front of him, and all he saw were traces of players everywhere.

From senior bronze to ordinary bronze...and even some ordinary iron-level players.

There are a lot of them.

It covers almost all the surrounding streets and an area of ​​several miles in radius!

To be honest, even though the territory of Daxia is ten times that of Japan and its population is several times that of Japan, and the number of players is certainly much larger, Li Re has never seen so many players fighting in coordination - there is no coordination between each other, but it seems that they all aim at the same enemy and attack.

This made Li Re wonder if the witch in front of him had done something that would anger God and man... He felt that he had to learn from her!

Besides that, he actually felt a little emotional.

"Under that situation, you actually didn't kill anyone!" Li Re casually narrated the tragic scenes that still remained in Asamamiya Kamiko's mind.

In response, the witch with long dark red hair remained silent.

She stood in the alley, her long dark red hair hanging down and covering her shoulders. Her drooping eyelashes trembled slightly - the plump figure wrapped in the white top seemed to shudder, and her red skirt fluttered like a skirt. After the silence, the witch also took a deep breath.

She said: "After all, I am now a complete 'traitor' to Japan, right?"

"Traitor... treason?" Li Re's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he understood immediately: "Because you invited me?"

"Yes."

Asamamiya Miko raised her eyes and said, "Because I formally invited the foreign silver-level player 'Spirit King' to interfere in the internal affairs of Japan in the name of the 'chief priest' of the Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine, I have now been declared guilty of treason by the 'Shogun' who actually rules Japan——"

"It is only natural that we would be ambushed by the whole country."

"They are also doing this for Japan - I can understand them."

"So this is why you only subdued them but didn't kill them?" Li Re touched his chin: "You are really a considerate witch, but by doing this, you are putting yourself in a dead end."

"If you didn't consume so much energy, you might not be able to dodge the Shogun's final attack. After all, the Shogun's real body didn't appear. He just attacked from a distance of dozens of miles."

"You are not acting like you want to live, as you said."

"I do want to live, but I don't want to become a demon that only knows how to kill." The goddess of Asama Palace responded like this. She glanced at the ghost lock that Li Re had given her on her wrist again: "If I kill too much, even with your ghost lock, I will find it difficult to suppress the evil spirit in my body."

"And I'm used to being treated like this."

"I am a 'demon', am I not?"

"As for you, even without me, you already know the Sanzu River at the foot of Mount Fuji... If I die, there are other people arranged to guide you, and you will definitely find the way!"

Asama-no-miya Miko originally possessed the blood of the demon god 'Tengu'.

In the era before Paradise reappeared, she was discriminated against and treated maliciously by others because of her various characteristics that were different from those of ordinary people.

She was used to it.

Li Re, who understood it all, just let out a "tsk".

"You accept everything that comes your way... You have a twisted mindset. It seems your past is quite complicated." He simply commented, "After all, even saints say that we should repay evil with good."

"But it doesn't matter. I won't ask any more questions."

"Anyway, when this matter is over, you will be my subordinate - I will twist your thoughts."

"With me, you only have a future, but no past!"

"As for now... now that I'm here, you won't die again."

"Going back in time or something, once is enough!"

Li Re raised his hand and said so. He naturally regarded the witch in front of him as his own - there were very few supernatural players who could control the power of ghosts and gods. He would never let her go, not to mention that a true saint who could show her compassion while considering all causes and consequences and not dragging others down was indeed worth helping!

When Asamamiya Kamiko heard the words "time travel", her eyes were slightly stunned and she looked a little surprised - surprised that the reason why she didn't die was because of this?

The next second, the figure behind Li Re shook again.

at this time.

Asama Miyako also noticed that there was a figure behind Li Re... It was a pretty girl with loose black hair and a pair of ruby-like eyes covered by the hair on her forehead. She was dressed in a Japanese JK dress with a sailor suit. Blood was flowing from her hanging hands... The still beating "hearts" piled up into a small hill!

"Ah, it's all solved."

The girl raised her spotless face and looked at Li Re in the deep alley where no light could reach her, waiting for praise.

Li Re glanced sideways and then grinned.

"Well done—"

"These people are the same ones who killed you before, but most of them left after the Shogun retreated. The rest were those who didn't know how to live or die and tried to fish in troubled waters. I killed them all... This should be enough to transfer your hatred for the so-called 'traitor' to me!" Li Re rubbed A Yue's head and looked at the witch in front of him.

The goddess Asama-no-Miya was silent for a while and then fell silent again.

She didn't want to kill anyone.

But she would not accuse Li Re of murder.

after all...

"They want to kill you, too."

“You did the right thing.”

Asamamiya Kamiko closed her eyes slightly and spoke like this.

Chapter 443: Are You Here for a Date?

"'Spiritual King' Li Re has met with 'Goddess' Asamamiya Miko in the southern district of Kyoto."

"All of us who stayed behind were killed by the 'Spirit King' and lost contact, including two elite shogunate personnel who had just passed the bronze-level trial-"

Kyoto.

In ancient times, the "Shogun's Headquarters" existed in the castle where the emperor lived, but was rarely visited by shoguns. It is located in Nijo Castle.

Such sounds echoed among the dark and high attics.

The ghost and god patterns carved on the wooden beams looked ferocious under the flickering candlelight, as if they were about to crawl out of the hell and break into the world. In the sight of this evil ghost, pillars were seen supporting the low dome, and several screens on both sides divided the not-so-spacious space into main and secondary areas. Between the heavy curtains, someone was seen sitting upright on a high place, listening to the report from someone behind a screen below.

The person who made the report was wearing an ancient shogunate official robe, and his words were respectful and solemn.

He leaned forward carefully, knelt down and asked, "General, do you want to continue to send people to monitor?"

Such words fell.

The attic seemed to have fallen into a long silence.

The candle flames burned and swayed on both sides, making crackling sounds... After a moment, the figure sitting behind the screen also made a low and heavy voice.

"No need."

The 'Shogun' Minamoto Musashi opened his cold eyes hidden under the armor and the ghost mask - even in this heavily covered attic, he still kept his armor on: "Since the 'Spiritual King' Li Re has already joined the game, then any more obstruction and surveillance will be meaningless."

"It's better to treat him as a force that can be utilized and make do with it... withdraw all the sentries - then, I will take action at the right time."

"Besides that, please help me arrange it. Now that we have arrived in Kyoto, it is necessary to go to the palace to pay a visit to His Majesty the Emperor."

"It's time to tell that mascot that Japan is now under the rule of the shogunate again - under the control of the new shogunate I founded!"

"Yes!"

The man outside the screen breathed out and responded. He supported his kneeling body with both hands, crawled backwards, and slowly left the attic.

Accompanied by a crunching sound.

The door of the house closed, and the wind blew the candle in the attic, causing it to sway a bit. The man in official uniform also caught a last glimpse through the crack in the door at the general's figure vaguely emerging from behind the screen, who had never moved, and at the pictures of ghosts and gods painted on the screens.

Those ghosts and gods seemed to be real, hideous and terrifying, but they seemed to be crawling at the feet of the "general".

It is clearly the power of gods and Buddhas that is used, majestic and sacred.

The place where you sit upright is full of ghosts and gods.

This kind of intense conflict makes everyone tremble with fear when facing the only silver-level player in Japan, who actually controls the highest power in Japan.

This is also true for the 'old ministers' who have served him for many years.

"Your Majesty Minamoto Musashi, your power is growing stronger—"

As expected of a descendant of the Tokugawa clan, Tokugawa Jijiro Minamoto no Asoin Musashi.

No wonder they want to "pay homage" to the emperor.

In ancient times, this was actually called "going to Luoyang" and exercising imperial power.

But as the one and only strongest person who controls Japan, he deserves the title!

This was the last thought in the mind of the shogunate member before he left the attic.

But after he left, a rustling sound suddenly rang out from inside the closed door!

"gone..."

"Delicious flesh and blood—"

"Ha, I want to eat it so much, I want to eat it so much, I want to eat it so much!"

This strange and terrifying low, roaring sound echoed wildly, and was followed by a violent shaking of the screens erected on all four sides.

The 'ghosts and gods' painted on the screens actually began to move!

The 'Shogun' Minamoto Musashi stood still during this time - he just spoke calmly.

"Shut up!"

The noise disappeared.

The restlessness gradually subsided.

The expression on the face of 'Shogun' Minamoto Musashi behind the ghost mask moved slightly, and he suddenly exhaled a long, foul breath!

"It seems that after unifying the country and linking up the many 'talismans' that suppressed the fate of Japan, your power has indeed become more terrifying... You are worthy of being the host of the 'power of ghosts and gods'."

"But it is true. After all, the talismans left by gods and Buddhas and placed all over the country to suppress the country's destiny are essentially just ownerless props. It is only natural that they are used by you now!"

Such a voice suddenly sounded in the attic, with a pure accent, quite similar to Minamoto Musashi himself - but sounded younger.

When Minamoto Musashi heard the voice, he was slightly stunned. Looking at the figure that suddenly walked out from the side, his eyes under the ghost mask became slightly solemn.

"Jisaburo...Gen Eikiri, who told you to come here!?"

"No one asked me to come, I just wanted to come and see it myself - Brother!"

The figure that appeared was tall and dressed in a gorgeous purple kimono. His neatly combed long hair was soft and loose, outlining a slightly gloomy face. He stood in front of the screen, looking at the figure of the 'Shogun' across the screen: "But although your strength has increased, you are also much more tired - the arrival of the 'Soul King' has made your burden heavier."

"His ability is indeed extraordinarily powerful. He can turn back the time of an entire city. Even with the help of a special copy, it is indeed too terrifying!"

"This is none of your business—"

The Shogun remained motionless, but his eyes revealed a chilling look: "Jisaburo, you shouldn't be here!"

"You 'traitor'!"

"I am indeed a traitor... but I am also your brother. How can I watch you die?"

The man called 'Jisaburo' said: "Besides, before the 'Holy Lord' was destroyed, I, a traitor, helped you a lot in secret. Now that the 'Holy Lord' has disappeared, even that strange list doesn't have his name on it, and the 'House of Evolution' has disappeared, you just throw me away. That's not good."
