The early morning wind blew from the end of the street, picking up a few tattered papers and passing through the mess on the ground.
The streets that usually should have been bustling with activity were now eerily quiet.
Look around.
I saw that the whole street was almost stained red with blood.
The stalls on the street were turned over, the rice bags were cut open, and the white grains of rice were scattered everywhere, soaked red with blood. Several people who fell beside the stalls had long since stopped moving. One of them was still holding half a piece of cake in his hand, with his knuckles curled up stiffly.
The shop doors on the street are open.
Some people fell on the threshold, half of their bodies still outside the house. Some people fell on the wall, their heads flying to who knows where.
At this time, a low cry came from the alley further away.
A child was hiding behind a broken wooden box, covering his mouth tightly, his eyes wide open, and he didn't even dare to cry.
Suddenly, there was movement in the pile of corpses.
A man covered in blood crawled out from below.
There was a long gash on his back, and blood was dripping down his clothes. He didn't dare to look back, so he just crawled to the street with all his strength. After crawling, his legs could no longer use their strength, so he could only drag forward bit by bit with his hands.
The sound of footsteps finally came from outside the street.
Several patrolling Land of Demons soldiers rushed here and stopped when they saw the scene here.
"This..."
As soon as one of them opened his mouth, he saw the man at the street corner.
He immediately rushed over and helped the person up.
"Hey! What's happening here?"
The man grabbed his sleeve, his eyes widened and his lips kept trembling.
"Run quickly..."
The soldier lowered his head.
"What?"
"There is... a demon..."
A sound like breaking wind came out of the man's throat.
After saying that, his hands suddenly loosened and his head dropped.
The soldier held the body and didn't move for a long time.
Land of Demons Temple.
Shion is listening to the people below reporting on the repair status in various places.
After the Moryo incident, Land of Demons has not yet recovered in many places. Roads need to be repaired, the injured need to be resettled, and the defense forces in various places need to be redeployed. She is extremely busy every day, and the paperwork on her desk changes one after another.
At this moment, a guard rushed in from outside.
He ran so fast that he almost fell down when he entered the door, and ended up kneeling on the ground with his chest heaving violently.
"Shrine Maiden Master!"
Shion raised his head.
"What's wrong?"
The guard swallowed, and there was no color on his face.
"A town on the border was attacked."
Shion The pen in his hand stopped momentarily.
"What?"
"The people who escaped said that there was only one enemy with a sickle, and the most important thing was... he couldn't be killed no matter how hard he killed him."
Shion's eyes changed.
The maid next to me also thought of something, and her face turned pale.
"Shrine Maiden Master..."
Shion stood up directly.
"Call the guards."
The maid hurriedly stepped forward.
"You want to go in person?"
Shion Without hesitation, he picked up the robe next to him and put it on himself.
"Land of Demons has such a person in the country, I must personally confirm it."
She took a few steps outside and paused again.
"Notify nearby guards not to approach alone."
"Yes!"
At this time, Land of Demons is on the other side.
Among the mountains and forests, a man in dark clothes was walking alone on a path.
Carrying a pipe for blowing bubbles on his back, he walked slowly deep into the forest along the remote mountain road.
High in the sky, a white clay bird was hiding on the edge of the clouds, following him from a distance.
Deidara sat on the back of the bird, staring at the figure below, getting increasingly tired of waiting.
"Where did those two guys go? It's been a few days, why haven't they arrived yet, huh."
The scorpion sat behind him, still looking like Hiruko outside, with its tail hanging on the edge of the bird's back, motionless.
Deidara spoke again.
"How about we just take him down without waiting for them. If we wait any longer, my body will get rusty, huh."
Only then did Scorpio speak.
"Then he was snatched away by Chiya?"
Deidara was choked all of a sudden and his face turned red.
He wanted to refute, but after holding it in for a long time, he finally managed only one.
"Humph."
The white clay bird continued to fly close to the clouds, following the man below from a distance.
Shion led the guards through the mountains and forests at high speed.
Before they reached the place, a scream suddenly came from the woods ahead.
Shion immediately stopped the team. Then he saw a man rushing out of the woods.
His clothes were soaked with blood and he was running staggeringly. When he saw the guards beside Shion, he seemed to have finally found a way out and rushed towards him with all his strength.
"Help me!"
"Save me!"
The captain of the Guards immediately raised his hand.
Two guards were about to step forward.
The next moment, a Triple-Bladed Scythe spun out from the woods.
There was a long rope attached to the back of the sickle, and the blade scraped across the man's back.
Poof!
Blood splashed out.
The man screamed and fell to the ground, still crawling forward with his hands.
"Um..."
Before he could finish speaking, he died completely.
Then a gray-haired man came out of the woods.
He was wearing Akatsuki cloak, with a sickle on his shoulder and a smile on his face.
The man was about to continue his action when he suddenly saw the group of people in front of him.
Especially the one in the middle, Lord Shrine Maiden.
His movements paused.
Then, the smile on that face slowly widened.
"Isn't this Lord Shrine Maiden?"
He tilted his head and looked at her.
"I thought I would have to wait until later to see you."
Shion looked at that face and his body suddenly froze.
Shion's voice is a little tight.
"You... you are!"
Hidan grinned and smiled even happier.
"It seems you recognized it."
"That stab was very painful."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched his neck.
"But I'm still alive."
"Thanks to Lord Jashin, I am still alive."
After saying that, he knelt down devoutly and bowed to the sky.
Everyone looked shocked.
Hidan After praying, he slowly stood up and said with a sinister smile.
"I wanted to find you one last time, but I didn't expect you to come right to my door."
"Thank you Jashin! Hahahaha!"
After saying that, he flashed and rushed forward.
The captain of the Guards stepped in front of Shion.
"Protect Master Shrine Maiden!"
Several guards rushed forward at the same time.
The other guards did not retreat.
They were obviously the elite around Shion, and they quickly separated their positions again.
One person wrapped a chain around Hidan's sickle, and the other person rushed in from the side and stabbed Hidan's chest directly with the short knife.
The tip of the knife came out from behind.
Hidan's face was twisted in pain.
"Ahhhh!!!"
He screamed very loudly.
But after shouting, he actually laughed again.
"It hurts."
"It hurts so much."
He looked down at the knife on his chest.
"It's a pity that I can't die."
The guard holding the knife turned pale.
Hidan turned around suddenly, kicked him over, and brought the sickle down.
The captain of the Guards' expression changed drastically.
"Back off! Back off everyone!"
But it's too late.
Hidan rushed directly into the crowd, completely ignoring his injuries, and brandished his sickle like crazy.
The screams soon filled the forest.
Shion was protected and kept retreating, but there were fewer and fewer people around her.
Hidan laughed while killing. The laughter echoed in the forest, making people feel chills on their backs.
After Hidan killed most of the guards, he looked at Shion.
The smile on his face suddenly sank, and a coldness appeared on his face.
"Where's that pretty boy next to you?"
Shion's heart tightened.
Hidan dragged the sickle forward, and the tip of the knife drew a long mark on the ground.
"Didn't he save you last time?"
"Why didn't you come this time?"
The last guard stood in front of Shion.
Hidan doesn't even have the intention of bypassing it.
With a swing of the sickle, he knocked the man to the ground.
Konoe tried to get up, but was stepped on by Hidan.
Click!
The sound of bones breaking was heard.
Shion's face turned pale and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
There is no one around her anymore.
Hidan tilted his head and looked at her, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised again.
"It's your turn."
