Chapter 405: Going up the Mountain
Yotsuya's house, Miko's room.
"The movie is really touching, especially the part where Torolu splits apart, isn't it, Mr. Xia?"
On the soft bed, the girl was reading movie reviews while chatting with the ghost beside her.
"Ah? Oh yes, yes, it is indeed touching."
Unfortunately, that ghost didn't listen at all. He just slumped in the chair, playing the game console as usual. He only made a perfunctory "hmm" or two when he heard someone calling him.
"well……"
Seeing that Xia Yu was not listening at all, Jianzi sighed. She felt like she was talking to the air.
Although to those who couldn't see, it seemed that she was indeed talking to the air.
"Mr. Xia, it's obviously such a great movie, don't you have any feelings about it?"
"Do you think this is an elementary school student writing an essay? You have to have your own thoughts after watching a movie. Compared to the movie, I think finding Princess Zelda is more important." Xia Yu didn't even raise his head, concentrating on the handheld game console in his hand that had already been upgraded.
Although he prefers to manipulate Link around rather than looking for the princess.
Looking for a princess or something... Let the princess become a legend just like the name of the game.
Seeing Xia Yu addicted to games, Jian Zi sighed: "I really envy you, Mr. Xia. You play games all day long and live an idle life."
"Who said that? I didn't." Xia Yu suddenly raised his head and denied it.
On the screen of his handheld game console, a blood-red line of "GAME OVER" slowly appeared, and he was killed underground again.
If Xia Yu traveled through time and space into The Legend of Zelda, he would definitely apply to go there so that those underground monsters would know what cruelty is.
Faced with Xia Yu's denial, Jianzi did not reply, but looked at Xia Yu silently.
stare--
Xia Yu: “…”
"Okay, okay, I am indeed a person who does nothing. I spend every day playing games like a useless otaku." Xia Yu put away his handheld game console and said as if admitting defeat.
“Hehe~”
Jianzi raised his head slightly and smiled proudly.
"In that case, tomorrow is the weekend, so let's go out together. It will give you some exercise."
"Huh?"
…
The next day, noon.
"Do I really have to go too? Can I not go? Can I?"
At the entrance, Jianzi looked at Xia Yu pitifully, hoping that he would not have to go out.
Faced with Jianzi's request, Xia Yu did not answer, but just shook his head with a smile.
"……I see."
Seeing Xia Yu shaking his head, Jian Zi sighed lightly, knowing that he couldn't refuse this time.
Forget it, let’s just go shopping. We can’t possibly go deep into the mountains or forests.
“…”
Looking at the deep stone entrance and the quiet and eerie deep mountains and old forests, Jianzi was a little dumbfounded.
They traveled all the way, changing buses, and their final destination turned out to be the deep mountains and forests?
This is an old mountain near the city. It used to be a famous energy attraction, but for some reason, the attraction was gradually abandoned until it became this desolate appearance today.
" Do you really want to go in?"
Jianzi looked at Xia Yu, expecting a negative answer, but it was obvious that Xia Yu would not do as she wished.
"Of course we have to go in, otherwise why are we here?" Xia Yu replied casually.
After learning that he could use the golden seeds to condense his own laws, he decided to come here.
Whether it is the Sankitani Shrine in the mountains or the huge ghost sealed in the shrine, they can serve as precious nutrients for the growth of golden seeds.
In order to make the golden seeds germinate, he could only move slightly.
"All right."
Seeing that Xia Yu had no intention of giving in, Jianzi could only take a deep breath and step onto the stone steps leading into the forest with an indomitable momentum.
On the moss-covered stone steps, Jianzi walked step by step into the forest. Her breathing was a little hurried, but seeing that there was someone accompanying her, she was not too nervous.
Although to be precise, the person accompanying her was not a human, but a ghost.
The forest was quiet and there was no sound around, as if even mosquitoes were unwilling to live in this forest.
Time passed with the sound of footsteps. Although there was someone beside her, Jianzi couldn't help but get nervous because she could only hear her own footsteps.
With a high level of mental concentration, the five senses become more sensitive, but precisely because of the sensitivity, those details are inevitably discovered.
There were no sounds of mosquitoes, birds, or even wind. Even though the sun shone through the gaps in the forest and hit my body, I could only feel the cold.
The sunlight is mottled and the shadows of the trees are swaying.
"Mr. Xia?"
Jianzi turned her head, but did not see Xia Yu, as if Xia Yu had not been by her side from the beginning.
At this moment, Jianzi wanted to leave, but then he realized that he had already come here, and Xia Yu hadn't come back yet...
Looking at the stone steps ahead that were about to reach the end, Jianzi calmed herself down and quickened her pace. If Mr. Xia hadn't returned by the end, she would leave directly.
Before long, the stone steps reached the end.
Xia Yu still didn't show up, so Jianzi decided to wait a little longer.
“Ding~”
Suddenly, the sound of bells rang out deep in the forest.
In the quiet forest, the clear sound of bells slowly spreads, it feels very strange.
It was like when I was alone in the world, and suddenly there was a knock on the door. What followed was not the joy of knowing that there were still people like me, but endless fear of the unknown.
The ringing of the bell stimulated his tense nerves. He turned his head sharply and looked towards the place where the bell rang, but found nothing.
"call……"
After realizing that he had only scared himself, Jianzi covered his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, how could she be so unlucky that she could encounter ghosts even when climbing a mountain.
While comforting himself, Jianzi turned around and made eye contact with an evil spirit with blood coming out of all its orifices and a twisted head.
"Hi--"
The evil spirit gave a hoarse greeting.
“…”
The facial features of Jianzi who was greeted froze, and he looked like he was petrified, with no light in his eyes.
"Can you see it? Can't you? Or can you see it?"
The evil spirit murmured softly, and moved its bleeding facial features close to Jianzi. Jianzi's expressionless face was reflected in its bloodshot eyes.
Tear!
Suddenly, a tearing sound was heard.
A hand formed into a knife slashed across the evil spirit's neck and directly beheaded it.
The beheaded evil spirit had no time to scream before its head was split in two again by the knife, and then dispersed into negative energy and dissipated into the air.
thump!
Jianzi, who had killed the evil spirit with a knife, couldn't help but kneel down on the ground with his knees weak, as if he had regained his feelings, his pupils trembling and he was gasping for breath.
“So…so scary!”
"It's obviously you who are more terrifying, okay..."
Xia Yu suddenly walked out of the forest and couldn't help complaining: "Besides, you obviously have the power to easily deal with evil spirits, so why are you still frightened to the point of your limbs going limp?"
"This has nothing to do with power!" Jian Zi's eyes were filled with tears, and he couldn't help shouting, "It's strange that people are not afraid of someone who looks so scary!"
"Also, Mr. Xia, why are you hiding? Do you want to see me get scared and cry?"
“Ah, this…”
Xia Yu scratched his head awkwardly. What should he say? This time it really wasn't the case.
In order to prevent any danger, he just scanned the mountain with his spiritual sense, and happened to find two humans, so he couldn't help but go over to take a look.
