It’s very easy to fill in next time

Rashomon, obsession

Open your eyes, the scenery in front of you has changed.

“here it is?”

In the morning, she was calmly adjusting her breathing, circulating her qi, and doing her daily compulsory homework, but she was suddenly drawn into an unfamiliar scenery again.

She was not surprised, but was surprised that there would be two additional challenges today.

But soon she realized that this place was different from the previous visualizations. It had a more definite scenery, and she could even smell the smell in the air.

Gunpowder smoke, burnt, bloody and earthy smell.

She looked around, and found herself in a strange place. This place seemed to be a battlefield that had been devastated by war, with collapsed city walls and burning wooden buildings. Although no corpses could be seen, there was blood everywhere.

Liu Shengshuangyue looked around, but did not see that ronin.

She became more and more suspicious of whether she was involved in some mysterious incident. She had this suspicion at first, but now she is more certain.

“Where is this place?” She said to herself.

“This is Rashomon.” An old voice answered her question.

Liu Shengshuangyue looked sideways vigilantly, and there was an old man sitting on the open space ten steps away. His clothes were simple, his hair was gray, and he was thin. A statue of Jizo with a red scarf.

“Who are you?” Liu Shengshuangyue was vigilant. Last time it was a wanderer, but this time it’s an old man?

she probablyI can feel the danger of this old man. Some swordsmen are more dangerous the older they are, the older and stronger they are, like an ancient tree with roots.

“Left soldier.”

The old man’s face was covered by a mask. The paint on the mask had been worn away, and the original style could not be seen. His voice was old and cold, like a shamisen out of tune.

He reported to Minghui and repeated: “This is Rashomon.”

“You said it, but where is Rashomon?” Liu Shengshuangyue asked puzzled.

The old man raised his finger and pointed to the flame-burning black iron gate not far away: “That’s Rashomon… Eight million evil spirits are behind the gate.”

“Eight million?” Liu Shengshuangyue didn’t believe it: “How could there be so many.”

“The opening of the Rashomon Gate means another ten years of calamity.” The old man said indifferently, “After you go to the gate, you will know.”

“Why should I go?” Liu Shengshuangyue frowned. The dream scene he visualized this time gradually became weird. It seems that there is still a plot?

“What are you here for?”

“I don’t know.” Liu Shengshuangyue asked: “Who brought me in? I want to ask clearly.”

“Don’t you want to become stronger?” The old man Zuo Bingwei continued to ask.

“Yes.” Liu Shengshuangyue readily admitted that she was very eager for power.

“After going to Rashomon, the more you kill, the stronger you become.” Zuobei still pointed to the door, as if the ultimate answer to the world was hidden behind that door.

…Maybe there is a number forty-two engraved on the back of the door.

Zuo Bingwei continued: “On the way to the door, you will see a puppet with the weapons you need on it, and it will accompany you to be responsible for your safety.”

Liu Shengshuangyue fell into deep thought, and after stopping for a moment, she felt a little bit of emotion. Although she didn’t know whether it was true or not, it was here.

She didn’t know how to get out of here. She walked around a few times, and after bumping into the wall of white mist, she was sure there was no way to leave.

When she came to Rashomon, she really saw a human-shaped puppet. The puppet was wearing a black windbreaker, and its whole body was made of mechanical structures. There was no flesh on its face, but a fox mask.

The puppet half-kneeled on the ground, a knife pierced through his heart, and it seemed to be still dripping blood.

But how could the puppet have blood?

She didn’t think too much about it. She stepped forward, stretched out her hand, and pulled out the knife. The blade fell into her hand, and the sword sounded lightly.

“What a beautiful knife.”

Liu Shengshuangyue’s attention was attracted. She looked at the ancient inscription on the knife. It was clearly an unfamiliar font, but she immediately read its name.

“Tenguchi?”

The naming method of famous knives is often simple. Just add a noun in front of what has been cut. For example, the famous sword Xiaodou Changguang means that it cuts beans, and Dojiri means that it cuts doji… Ibuki Doji.

Liu Shengshuangyue felt that this knife was not only beautiful, but also very comfortable in the hand. It was indescribably comfortable, no matter in terms of weight or feel.

The knife was pulled out here, and the blood stained on the knife splashed on the ground when it was pulled out. She looked at the knife and suddenly heard the sound of the machine expanding.

The puppet stood up.

Like a Gundam or Titan that is only activated.

For a moment, Liu Shengshuangyue pointed the knife at the puppet subconsciously, thinking that he would pounce on him and teach her to be a human being like Teacher Gu Da.

But the puppet just stood up straight. There was no expression or vividness on the fox mask.

“After all, it’s just a puppet.” Seeing that it wasn’t hostile, Liu Shengshuangyue put down Tenguchi.

She turned around the puppet and walked towards the direction of Rashomon, and the puppet followed behind, keeping a distance of about three steps, taking it easy.

When she came to the black iron gate, she stretched out her hand to stroke the rough lines on it, feeling that it was ancient and mysterious.

Then the door opened.

“Eh?” Liu Shengshuangyue’s eyes widened, and she thought to herself that she clearly didn’t push the door… Was it an automatic induction?

The strong smell of blood floated from behind the door, like a flashlight shining on the river beach in the middle of the night, and countless dots of light reflected in the water. At first glance, it was very beautiful, but upon closer inspection, it was clearly from man-eating beasts. The eyes are reflecting the light.

Her first reaction was not to rush in, but to retreat, but a sudden force from behind pushed her into the door.

It’s a puppet!

After Liu Shengshuangyue stepped into Rashomon, the puppet followed in. She only heard a clanging sound, and the door closed.

This time, no matter how much she kicked and slapped the door, she didn’t respond.

“Damn it!” Liu Shengshuangyue gritted her teeth and cursed secretly, this time she had to draw her sword to confront.

Suddenly there was a red flash approaching, and she stabilized her mind. The battle of the real sword that lasted for more than a month had completely tempered her. sword.

The sword light cut into the red light, she heard screams, and the feeling of flesh and bones being severed could indeed be heard on the knife, before she could dodge, the blood splashed on her face, subconsciously closed her eyes and held her breath, because of Zhang With his mouth open, he even tasted blood.

At this time, for the first time, Liu Shengshuangyue felt a strong sense of discomfort, nausea and vomiting, and psychological resistance triggered a physiological reaction.

Her head was empty, and it was only then that she belatedly remembered that she had fought with a real sword for so long, and had never hit or killed anyone.

She stopped, but the attacker would not stop.

In the dark space, the smell is too obvious. The sound of blood and the smell of steel on the sword have become excellent guides.

After just three to five seconds, Liu Shengshuangyue was already surrounded.

Now that she has started to adapt to the darkness, she can roughly see the actions of these monsters in the dim light. Although they are in human form, they are definitely not human.

At this time, she couldn’t find the angle to fight back, so she could only curl up holding the knifelater.

At this time, a hard touch came from her back, and she forgot that there was a door behind her, and she had no distance to retreat.

It’s over… Liu Shengshuangyue’s eyes widened. She overestimated her own strength, and she was about to be killed just after entering the door.

The moment she almost gave up, she heard the sound of wind, and an epee swept across. In an instant, like a swipe of a large pen soaked in ink, it instantly smoothed out the red light spot that was shining at close range.

It’s a puppet.

It remained silent, swung its epee, and easily swept away the obstacles in front of it.

The unsmiling warrior stood beside her, protecting her weak points and vital points, silent and reliable.

Liu Shengshuangyue was in a complicated mood. This puppet tricked her and saved her. Should he say thank you?

Forget it, it’s a puppet anyway.

She took a deep breath, and after a brief absence, she was forced to adapt to the environment, be it bloody or dark.

Before she died, she began to evolve rapidly. With the idea that she must go back alive, the girl regrouped.

After a short rest, she walked into the darkness of Rashomon.

Continuous death battles are waiting.

…

At the same time, on the other side…

Bai Wei was sitting in front of the tea table. There was a cup of hot tea on the table, and there was a person sitting opposite him.

And also himself.

The two sat facing each other, one was a living person, the other was memories and reverberations.

In Bai Wei’s eyes, another silent self had a huge exclamation mark hanging above its head, and its name was marked below it.

ã€Dead knot of obsession】

[When a person is about to die, desire will not disappear, hatred will not stop, nostalgia will last forever, longing will never stop, these are all obsessions]

[And death, keeping this obsession, tied it into a knot]

[Inheriting the past and rereading the past also means swallowing this obsession…]

[Resolving obsessions and untying knots, how easy is it? The dead knot is hard to untie, and the obsession can’t be stored]

“Hiss…”
