Chapter 15 Butterfly Effect?(1/2)
"Here we are, right here..."
The taxi stopped steadily on the side of the road. The driver took a deep breath, tried not to look in the rearview mirror, and spoke as calmly as possible.
"This used to be an industrial area, and it was relatively prosperous. But as you know, the bubble burst in the past few years, and the economy collapsed. I don't know how many people went bankrupt overnight, and so many people committed suicide that they jumped off the building.
Queuing up, so you all know how miserable it is now..."
Having said this, the driver seemed to have recalled some bad memories and felt sad. The driver looked outside at the dark industrial area.
"It's gotten a little better in the past two years, but only a little..."
This place has never been able to recover. Many factories have closed down. At night, there is almost no one here. The dim lights illuminating the streets make it even more empty. The empty buildings and factory facilities are neatly arranged.
On both sides of the street, everything you see is like this, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Have many people committed suicide in recent years?"
The miko who had been sitting quietly in the back seat, feeling the convenience brought by modern transportation and the bustling night view of the city she saw along the way, raised her eyebrows. Her thoughts and attention finally changed from the focus on the big city.
Shocked and surprised, he broke away and looked at the people next to him in astonishment.
Along the way, she gained a more intuitive understanding of what the world would be like five hundred years from now.
Rows of densely packed high-rise buildings, neat and flat roads extending in all directions, bright lights of thousands of houses, and the constant flow of traffic on the highway... These extremely prosperous and orderly scenes were all bizarre and bizarre that she had just witnessed with her own eyes.
Although she is very unfamiliar and does not understand many things and things, it does not prevent her from understanding how this land has evolved into after five hundred years of changes. This scene of prosperity and peace is what she
Things that people of that era could not even imagine.
But...why?
In this seemingly peaceful and prosperous world, many people have committed suicide in the past few years? The shrine maiden from the Warring States Period really can't imagine why.
"When the bubble economy burst, many people went bankrupt overnight, even burdened with a large amount of debt, and suddenly fell from heaven to hell. The savings and achievements of the previous half of their lives were completely evaporated. Not everyone can
Those who can withstand this kind of pressure and have the courage to start over again..."
Gu Mo said casually, and then when he saw the witch frowning and becoming more and more confused, he could only spread his hands——
"It's hard to explain this to you now, but Kikyo, you just need to know that every era has its own problems unique to that era. Life is neither easy nor easy. It's not just swords and monsters that can make people despair."
"..."
"..."
The witch frowned, seemingly thoughtful, but she nodded slowly and did not continue to ask.
What are these two people talking about... The driver in front of the driver's seat couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes a few times.
This has happened in the past few years. It has not only shocked the whole of Japan, but also had a great impact on the world. But why does this miko look like she just heard about it and is still confused?
The look is coming.
Could it be that it is because you are so innocent that you are deceived by this pretty boy?
Looking through the rearview mirror at the expressions of the two people that made him unable to calm down, the taxi driver subconsciously held the steering wheel and said as if nothing had happened:
"This place is very remote, and usually not many people come here. However, the two of you know that the public security in this place is very poor, and some vicious incidents have occurred. Moreover, many people have committed suicide here in the past few years. It is said that there are
There are some bad rumors..."
I don’t know what kind of mentality and decision it came from, but he just felt that he had to ruin this pretty boy’s good deeds and not allow this hateful scumbag to succeed!
It's so abominable...
Along the way, he secretly looked at the witch. While he was shocked, he also became more and more heartbroken.
However, no matter how many times he suffered from heartache along the way, the cold reality made him come back to his senses and found that he had still dragged these two people to a remote place... The thought of what might happen next
What happened, and looking at the quiet miko in the back seat, he felt that he had to do something.
However——
"It seems pretty good here..."
Gu Mo looked at the environment outside through the car window and nodded slightly with satisfaction.
Sure enough, the local taxi driver is the best at finding this kind of place. If he had come by himself, he probably wouldn't even have a direction. This kind of place doesn't seem very popular, and it's especially deserted at night.
Suitable for use as a battlefield.
No, it is not correct to say that it is a battlefield. This statement is too flattering to the group of miscellaneous fish. It should be said that it is better suited as a slaughterhouse...
Because although those things have been peeping in the darkness, not hiding the fact that they are attracted by the breath of the Shihun Jade, and indeed coveting the power of the jade, in fact they do not pose any threat at all, if it were not for Platycodon.
If he insists, Gu Mo doesn't want to go through all the trouble to get here.
Since this place is quite suitable, he doesn’t want to pick and choose, so he might as well do it here!
While thinking this, Gu Mo easily took off his seat belt and said, "Then let's get off here...Thank you, master."
The driver's hand suddenly trembled. Did this person not listen to what he said just now? - Normal people should always be somewhat concerned and ask about what bad things happened or what bad rumors happened.
But he didn’t even answer the conversation, how could he continue?
After thinking quickly, the driver forced himself to calm down and asked: "Guest, are you sure you want to get off here? It's really remote here. If something happens here, no one may know about it...
”
Gu Mo replied casually: "That's great. This is the kind of place I want... Platycodon, let's get off the car, I don't want to wait any longer."
What they are doing here is to find a place that is suitable for fighting and will not attract the attention of ordinary people. This place is really suitable.
——That's right, solve it as soon as possible and go back early.
——Shopping with a miko is much more interesting than this.
"This..."
Listening to Gu Mo's words, the driver's fingers clenched tightly. He felt quite weak and at the same time, his heart felt cold. At the same time, there was an unspeakable and indescribable impulse of grief and anger rolling in his chest. How could this person be so bad?
In such a situation, why can’t this miko wake up in time?
Little did he know that the master sitting in the driver's seat was full of drama. Gu Mo blinked and looked at the witch next to him, about to say something.
"No, I can do it myself..."
The witch said, and turned away slightly. Although this person didn't do anything before, he just came over to help her fasten her seat belt. But she was not used to this kind of close contact, and she didn't know it.
It's easy to say, now that I know it, I won't let him help anymore.
It’s not difficult anyway, she just didn’t know it before.
"That's good..."
Gu Mo smiled and opened the car door without paying too much attention. After getting off the car, he went to the other side to open the door and watched the witch get out of the car.
"Master, please walk slowly..." Gu Mo waved to the driver's seat and looked at Platycodon grandiflorum. "How does it feel? I mean how it feels to ride in a car."
"No, you're welcome..."
The driver replied in a low voice. He originally wanted to say something, but found that neither of them seemed to be paying attention to himself.
"Let's go inside..." Gu Mo looked over and pointed at the dark and deserted street ahead.
The witch didn't speak, but just nodded, stepped forward, and at the same time reached out and took out a small piece of pink and translucent jade from her sleeve.
The breath of jade is the source that attracts demons and monsters. At this moment, it is emitted in the darkness. Certain things in the dark night naturally become more eager to move. They begin to approach here, and the red dots on the small map begin to appear.
Appear in large numbers.
Looking back at the taxi behind him that was slowly driving away in the direction it came from, Gu Mo thought for a while and said nothing.
He saw that the miko left a spell on the car before getting out of the car, and the Jade of Four Souls was here. The brainless monsters and monsters that were attracted were all here. At this moment, they
There is nothing else in my eyes.
"Coming..."
Looking up at the night sky, with her long hair being blown by the breeze, the miko said softly.
Speaking of which, it seems that on the night she left the village, Shui Yin was struck by spiritual power and collapsed somewhere. Has she never tied up her long hair... A strange thought flashed through her mind. Gu Mo stretched out his hand and gently
Gently press the handle of the simple straight knife hanging on your waist.
"I'll just come, you don't have to do anything..."
The witch glanced at him lightly and said.
Just to prevent the matter from getting bigger, she wanted to deal with the hidden dangers in advance. What would happen if this person pulled out Cong Yun's teeth here? It was completely putting the cart before the horse. It was not a question of using a bull's knife to kill a chicken.
But this demonic sword can definitely destroy the entire city in one swing.
"Eh?"
Gu Mo was stunned for a moment, then scratched his cheek: "I just want to give it a try to see if I can control this sword..."
He didn't want to attack those miscellaneous fish with a Prison Dragon Break, but he simply wanted to test the possibility of controlling this magic sword.
What's more, it happened to be dark now. He was confident that even if he couldn't suppress Cong Yunya, he could stuff it back into the sheath. The situation like Ergouzi wouldn't happen. The scabbard asked him to help stuff the sword.
When I went back, the result was that my body was directly controlled by the weapon.
"I'll just come." Kikyo repeated softly, and then she turned her eyes and stared at him: "If you want to give it a try, you can wait until you return to another era... There are too many people here."
To be continued...
