Chapter 96 "No Longer Human" In the dark forest, suddenly...
In the dark forest, a low voice suddenly sounded in his ears. There were no shadows on the ground, and no traces of human beings standing. Suzuki Kawa instantly recalled the horror comics he was obsessed with back then.
[System, I won't look back if you're ugly.] Suzuki Kawa's Adam's apple rolled.
System: […That's Brother Hei, what are you afraid of, you wimp!] A tone of dismay. Suzuki Kawa is the Ghost King, yet he's still afraid of ghosts. He's not even ashamed to tell anyone about it.
An acquaintance? Why didn't you say so earlier! Suzuki Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and turned around. Sure enough, he saw the face with six eyes. Perhaps because he knew it was his friend in disguise, Suzuki Chuan didn't feel scared. Instead, he showed an overly enthusiastic smile.
"Kokushibo, where have you been recently? Why haven't I seen you?"
He held Kokushibo's hand, and acted like a leader comforting his subordinates.
Kokushibo pursed his lips and tried to pull his hand back, but after a moment of hesitation he gave up and said slowly, "Their bodies attracted each other... and they left."
The explanation was similar to what the system gave. Suzuki Kawa nodded and didn't look angry. Instead, he looked furtively towards the river again and pulled the light Kokushibo into the deep forest.
"Hurry up and leave before Yan Sheng finds out."
Those six identical eyes showed no emotion. In the dark forest, they kept staring at Suzuki Kawa. The system looked at its idol and felt that something was wrong, but it couldn't figure it out.
"You're looking for... him?" Kokushibo spoke the same way as before, spouting out words at a time. The system said that this was his habit from the time when he was still Yan Sheng.
Suzuki Chuan thought that he had never seen Yan Sheng speak like this when he was with him before.
He had no idea that it was because he spoke too fast that Yan Sheng's speech also became much faster.
At this time, he led Kokushibo into the depths of the forest. Upon hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "I came to see him. Yan Sheng...he should be doing well recently."
"Hmm..." Kokushibo responded.
Suzuki Kawa stood under a tree, and after making sure he was far away from the river, he leaned casually against the trunk. Compared to his human days, the biggest change in his body was probably that his face was a little paler.
But when he was ill before, his complexion was similar to the same as it is now.
It seems like he has never become a ghost.
He put his fingers together and rested them on his chin, as if thinking about something. But soon, he raised his eyes and looked at the silent Kokushibo, and asked, "What's the matter with the marks on Yan Sheng's face?"
Kokushibo spoke slowly, saying that because he had encountered too many dangers while killing demons, Yan Sheng himself was not strong enough, so he activated it in times of crisis.
"This is really troublesome. He might not live past the age of 25. Yan Sheng will be 25 soon." Suzuki Chuan's face showed obvious distress. He had no plans to appear in front of Yan Sheng, but he had to do this task.
Kokushibo looked at him.
Suzuki Kawa has a tendency to bite his nails. This habit was corrected by his etiquette teacher when he was very young, but as his memory recovers, it still occurs occasionally.
He sighed.
Kokushibo: "What... do you want to do?"
Suzuki Chuan didn't hide anything and said bluntly, "I don't want Yan Sheng to die so early. He's still so young. Even if he turns into a ghost... that's not okay." He raised a finger and vowed, "Yan Sheng must live to at least 80 years old!"
System: [In this era, few people can live to be seventy years old.]
[By the way, the specific form of the mission reward has been revealed, it's a bit scary.]
The system showed the screenshot to Suzuki Kawa.
After reading the above explanation, Suzuki Kawa: ...
This is no longer a thriller but a curiosity, right?
The system sighed: [Did you accidentally enter the channel for abusive novels? Or has the main brain been damaged by reading trashy novels?]
There is only one specific form of mission reward, which is a heart transplant.
Suzuki Kawa remained silent.
Kokushibo just stared at him.
Darkness was no different from daylight for this form. He could see the handsome and sharp features of the young man. It was a relatively unfamiliar face, different from the ones he had seen before, although he could not remember what he looked like before.
"Alas, I have to take action again." Suzuki Chuan finally came to his senses and silently crossed out the inexplicable form of task reward in his heart.
The specific reward form is so weird, why doesn’t he just not need a specific reward?
I was almost led into a ditch by this pig system.
"We can't let him get away with it. Go beat him up. You are not allowed to help him." Suzuki Kawa raised a smile on his face and began to make excuses for his behavior.
Kokushibo was stunned: "Beat him?"
Suzuki Kawa had already run outside, he came to his senses and followed Suzuki Kawa.
The speed of ghosts is much faster than that of humans. Suzuki Kawa is dressed in black, with only the inner clothes being purple, making it difficult to be discovered in the dark.
After running for a while, the system reminded him that Yan Sheng was just ahead.
Suzuki Kawa stopped and hid behind a tree in the forest. He stealthily stuck his head out to look at the figure in the distance. Kokushibo floated beside him, watching his next move.
He also wanted to know if Suzuki Kawa really had a solution to the stripes.
What kind of price is required.
The system stared at Kokushibo. Suzuki Kawa was nagging it to give him a piece of black cloth to act as a masked thief. It was speechless, so it went to the mall and bought a ten-dollar mask and tossed it to him: "This mask will 100% not fall off. This is a disposable item. Hurry up! Dawn is only two hours away."
There's no shame in being a masked thief.
Suzuki Chuan skillfully ignored the system's beeps, and pretended to pull out a system-made mask from his wide sleeves, put it on his face, and said to Kokushibo proudly, "Okay, now Yan Sheng doesn't know who I am."
After saying that, he remembered something and nervously warned Kokushibo again: "Don't tell him, otherwise he will beat me up in the future."
Kokushibo was silent, then nodded.
Then he looked at Suzuki Kawa and ran out.
System: [Brother Hei has disappeared. It seems he has returned to Yan Sheng's body.]
Suzuki Kawa: "That's even better. Otherwise, Yan Sheng would be confused if he saw me and Kokushibo together."
The mask on his face was blank, without even any air vents. The system said that this was because it was the lowest price, and Suzuki Kawa had relied on the system's God's perspective many times before, so the eyes were sealed and so on, so it was not a problem at all.
Save where you can and spend where you can.
Jiguo Yansheng, who was walking along the river, met an uninvited guest.
A masked ghost blocked his way.
When Yuezhu saw the mask clearly, his eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but wonder whether this ghost could see the road clearly.
"You killed a lot of ghosts." The ghost's voice was different from the hoarse and unpleasant voice of other cannibal ghosts, but it was uniquely clear.
"Tonight is the day you pay for their lives!" he said in a stern voice.
Jiguo Yansheng placed one hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist. The marks on his forehead seemed to be burning. His expression darkened. "Killing someone means paying with your life. Those evil spirits should go to hell."
"Hmph!" Suzuki Chuan snorted coldly.
Then he asked the system: "What should I do now? Should I fight him in close combat? Wouldn't that cut him into three or four pieces?"
System: [Use your spells. He can't see cursed energy anyway, so just draw whatever you can. If you can't defeat him, just use blood magic.]
That makes sense.
Suzuki Kawa raised the corners of his mouth beneath his mask, clearly completely immersed in his art: "After killing so many cannibals, that master won't sit idly by. Today is the day you die. Ritual!——"
Before he could finish his words, Jiguo Yansheng's Sun Wheel Sword had already been unsheathed.
The Breathing of the Moon then begins.
But Suzuki Kawa's technique was faster, and the string of nonsense he just said was completely out of his own desire to perform.
With a "ding" sound, the gorgeous blade shape of Moon Breathing was frozen in the air.
[Ding! You have activated the "Card Unpacking" technique. The live broadcast room selected for you has been loaded, the consumption level has been loaded, and the order is for "one hand-painted autographed blind box". The order is being queued. Please wait patiently.]
A hand-drawn signature? What the hell?
System: [Don't worry about it. It's the same as "demolition". The skill will be determined by the character you demolish.]
Suzuki Chuan nodded, feeling extremely confident in himself: "You can get something good from the bag!"
There are quite a few people in this live broadcast room. Although it is not as good as Ando Tsukasa's live broadcast room, the host's voice is very nice and quite familiar.
"Next is... a box of 'hand-drawn signatures' by Suzuki-sensei."
Compared to Ando Tsukasa's passion, this person is obviously a gentle type, with very stable emotions and a faint sense of death.
He took out a rectangular box, cut it open with a knife, and without any intention of keeping the secret, he took out the contents directly.
Suzuki Kawa: "What an unexpected opening."
System: [Starting from zero frame, you understand, right?]
"I found a... Bungo Stray Dogs, a hand-drawn work by Dazai Osamu, and the artist's name is AA." The gentle voice had little ups and downs, just like a human-machine, but the comments were very excited and refreshed very quickly.
Suzuki Chuan couldn't believe it: "Why is it him!?"
He even thought about Dr. Glass!
Yan Sheng uses a knife, and "No Longer Human" targets supernatural powers. So what should he do? Go up and grab Yan Sheng to stop him from swinging his knife? What's the difference between that and not using the skill?
The system quietly added: [And strictly speaking, Moon Breathing is not a supernatural ability. Congratulations, it was a waste of time.]
Before Suzuki Chuan could speak, it immediately added: [Skills cannot be stored.]
Suzuki Kawa: ...
He closed his eyes, "This is the episode I least want to see Dazai in."
The system gave him a move: [Where's the blood demon technique that turned you into a demon? It's been so long and there's no prompt on the panel. Can't you use it on Yan Sheng?]
"No." Suzuki Chuan refused, regaining a confident smile on his face, "I have a plan!"
Don’t forget, in addition to his supernatural powers, he also has magic, and in addition to magic, he also has the long-lost psychic eyes!
"Hey, why do I have to take off the mask to use it?"
"Never mind. It was only a short while and he probably didn't notice."
Under the moonlight, a long wind blew, making his clothes rustle and his long golden hair flutter. The oncoming breath of the moon did not make him move at all.
Jiguo Yansheng, who was wielding the knife, frowned.
He saw the cannibal raise his hand and take off his mask.
Moon Breathing Form 1 went straight through the evil ghost's body without causing any damage, as if it had hit nothing.
Jiguo Yansheng's pupils shrank.
He saw a pair of green eyes staring at him from under the removed mask.
It was as if he was examining his soul.
He couldn't help but stare at that corner. The evil ghost maintained this action, and he didn't continue to swing the knife, but this confrontation did not last long. Soon, the green flames around him rose and rushed towards Jiguo Yansheng.
Is this vampire magic?
Jiguo Yansheng came to his senses and stepped back suddenly. The place where he had just stood had been engulfed by green flames, and the grass and trees were visibly decaying.
The flames were unusual, but he looked at the evil ghost that still had one eye exposed, and the problem would be solved by killing that ghost.
He quickly decided to brave the flames, use his breathing techniques to the extreme, approach the evil spirit as quickly as possible, and then chop off its head.
Plunging into the encirclement of green flames, Ji Guo Yansheng did not feel the high temperature he had imagined, but instead felt a bone-chilling cold. His hands did not hesitate, he raised the blade and chopped towards the evil ghost holding the mask.
"call!--"
He missed.
The young man's pupils shrank, realizing that something was wrong, and thought to himself that something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next second he was thrown to the ground with great force, the green flames disappeared completely, the evil ghost pinched his neck, the mask covered his face again, leaving a blank look, and his golden hair was draped behind his head in an unreasonable way, not even the wind could blow it away.
"You're not qualified enough to fight me with just the breathing method." The evil ghost's voice sounded carelessly, and he tightened his grip on Jiguo Yansheng's hand.
It is stronger than any ogres encountered before, and its strength is completely on two levels.
Jiguo Yansheng's eyes were fixed on the empty mask.
His breathing became rapid and his face flushed.
Am I really going to die here tonight?
He had killed enough demons, and it was a shame that he died at the hands of this guy without providing more information to the Demon Slayer Corps.
The fainting caused by lack of oxygen made Yan Sheng's vision blurred, his pupils gradually lost focus, his breathing weakened, and he stared at the evil ghost for the last time. He saw the evil ghost take off his mask.
Those are a pair of heterochromatic eyes.
