Chapter 161 - Tomioka Dead Soldier

In Tomioka's mansion.

Sniff.

Wu Kuan carefully picked up the herbs with only the flower stems on the table with both hands, and she sniffed the fragrance from the broken petals happily.

"What a wonderful breath..." Wu Kuan murmured softly. At this moment, she felt that all the cells in her body were trembling with excitement.

With the influx of floral fragrance, Wu Mei felt an unprecedented sense of comfort, and she even wanted to swallow it immediately.

In an instant, she understood.

The medicinal ingredient that I have been looking for to completely transform myself into a perfect creature is this!

Look at this beauty, shimmering cyan in the moonlight!

Even if it is dilapidated, the faint smell can make Wuhan instinctively excited to the point of trembling!

At this moment, he was so overwhelmed by the joy that his centuries-old dream came true in an instant that he didn't even care whether the medicinal materials in front of him were complete!

Wuhan resisted the thought of swallowing it, and looked at the flower stem in his hand and the broken petals stuck to the flower stem with intoxication.

aside.

The evil ghost, who thought he was going to die, huddled his head tightly under his arms and trembled all over.

"...Lord Wuxian?" However, after waiting for a while, the death he imagined did not come. The evil ghost slowly raised his head in panic and looked at Wuxian tentatively.

Familiar medicinal materials come into view.

That is!

After seeing the medicinal material in Wu Mei's hand, the desire for survival reached its peak, and the evil ghost instantly recalled everything about that medicinal material!

It's a retainer! It was picked by the retainers of this generation of this family!

The evil ghost's pupils shrank in fear, and he understood that this opportunity was definitely his only way to survive!

For a moment, the thoughts in the evil ghost's mind were like a rushing wind.

Wu Kuan twisted the flower stem with two fingers, raised his head high and opened his mouth.

His eyes were filled with endless excitement and excitement!

Six hundred years, six hundred years of vision, to become the true ultimate perfect creature!

Right now!

"Aha…"

The crystal liquid strands stretched between the teeth.

"Gudu..."

As his Adam's apple moved up and down, Wuhan swallowed the whole flower stalk into his belly.

After feeling the flower stem gradually sinking inside his body, Wuhan closed his eyes with satisfaction.

Wu Mei opened his narrow scarlet eyes, and his sharp vertical pupils instantly condensed into a thin slit!

A warmth is rising from my belly!

No, it's not warm anymore, it's a little hot...

"!!" Her expression changed suddenly, and extremely high temperature came from her abdomen, constantly burning Wu Mei's body!

But while it was burning, Wu Mei could also clearly feel that her body's ability to cope with the burning was getting stronger!

The sun's damage to her! In slight reduction!

Although it is very weak, it is actually decreasing!

However, this feeling of energy only existed for less than one breath.

The warm energy disappeared from her abdomen, and Wu Mei's body temperature fell into the ice cellar again. Everything just seemed to not exist, leaving her in a daze.

"...No more?" She stretched out her hand and felt the condition of her body.

The effectiveness of the medicinal materials was so short that it gave Wuhan the illusion that he had not taken them.

The change in body function seems to be only a little, but in fact it is several times stronger than before!

The brainstorming evil ghost on the side saw the opportunity, and he bent down respectfully, waiting for Wu Mei to wake up from his narcissism.

"Master Wuhan..."

Before the evil spirit could finish speaking, Wuhan reacted and interrupted the evil spirit roughly:

"Who picked the flower stalk just now, and where was it picked?"

Wuxian's vertical pupils stared at the evil ghost. It was the closest she had been to being immune to the sun in hundreds of years. She would never give up this opportunity!

"tell me!"

The evil ghost forced himself to calm down. He thought quickly in his mind and answered quickly and methodically:

"Master Wuhan, the family's retainers sent the dead men to pick it! Only the dead men and the retainers know the specific location..."

"Call him over here! Quick!"

"Yes, Master Wuhan!"

…

…

Just now, Wu Mei had just entered the hall.

About twenty minutes ago.

In the retainer's room.

Creak...

The wooden door was shut tightly.

After finishing their busy work and preparing to receive Wu Mei, the retainer breathed a sigh of relief, and then a more solemn look appeared on his face.

The next part of the family revival plan is the hardest part.

There was no oil lamp on in the room, so it was very dark.

The retainer walked to the cabinet on the side and stretched out his hand to open the door.

Creak...

What was revealed were two children, one boy and one girl, with frightened eyes.

The boy held the book given to him by the retainer in his hand, and his dark blue pupils were shining with hope.

On the cover of the book, there are these words written vaguely: "History of Tomioka Family".

"Have you finished reading?" the retainer asked the boy concisely.

"Yeah." The boy nodded.

The retainer's calm expression did not change when he heard this. He walked aside, turned his back to the boy, and pulled out a small box from somewhere.

"Have you thought about it?" His voice seemed to have no emotion, and he was just narrating lightly: "You insist on wanting your sister to be saved?"

But if you listen carefully, you can also hear some apology contained in it.

The boy's clear eyes penetrated the darkness and stared straight at the retainer's back. In the confused eyes of the girl in his arms, he nodded heavily:

"Um!"

"Then, you should also know how to leave the mountains."

"I know, become a dead soldier."

At the last moment when the boy's immature voice fell, the retainer opened all the unearthed boxes.

Click!

As the box opened, what was revealed were sharp knives, with a faint cold glow on the blades.

On the other side of the box, there was a slightly yellowed bone bottle!

The retainer held the bone bottle and he gently opened the cork.

Bo!

"Do you have the courage?"

He glanced across the box, glanced sideways at the boy's size, and then found a smaller blade from the box.

"Becoming a dead soldier, you will lose your consciousness, and there will only be one command left in your mind."

"You will die when the order is completed."

"Only your sister has a chance of surviving. Even so, are you willing?"

The boy looked down at his sister in his arms, his eyes full of reluctance, but helpless.

At this age, being able to escape from that kind of cell already represents his intelligence and courage.

"I'm not afraid!"

"Even if we don't do it, then we have no future at all, right?"

Although the boy's voice is childish, it is full of firm desire and yearning for the future.

Even when he shouted these words, it meant giving up his future.

"Haha! Well said!"

The retainer seemed to have been waiting for this sentence for a long time. A slight smile appeared on his lips, and he slowly poured the blood from the bone bottle onto the blade.

snap…

The thick and black blood turned bright red the moment it came into contact with outside oxygen, and adhered smoothly to the knife.

The retainer held the handle of the knife, and he turned around, staring at the boy with the same black and blue eyes:

"Get up."

The boy's expression was a little astonished, and he blinked:

"Do you want it now?"

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

"It's too late to back down now." The retainer held a knife stained with blood in his hand. This blood could not be recovered.

The boy took a deep breath, turned his head and kissed his sister's forehead gently, then stood up resolutely:

"No, I'm always ready!"

The retainer looked at the boy's appearance with joy and pain in his heart.

What I am happy about is that such a thoughtful and capable seedling has emerged in the family.

The sad thing is that he will soon bury this seedling with his own hands to gain the slim future of his family.

After the retainer regained his composure, he knew that there was no time to continue nagging.

Wuhan is coming soon!

"So, what's your name?" The retainer held the knife.

The boy raised his head and looked at the retainer with firm and sharp eyes:

"I don't have a name."

"But, my sister has a name."

"She begged Hanako, and I got it."

The retainer nodded slightly and stretched out his hand to signal the boy to stand still:

"Okay, then let me give you a name."

After the boy turned around, he gently rubbed his sister's head, his eyes full of tenderness.

The retainer stretched out his hand and straightened the boy's head. He stood in front of the boy and pointed the blood-stained blade at the boy's forehead:

"From now on, that's what you're called."

The hand holding the blade tightened slightly.

Poof!

Blood streamed from the boy's forehead.

The sharp knife pierced the boy's forehead. As the retainer's fingers moved slightly, he stared at the boy's eyes that were gradually losing focus:

"...Tomioka Death Soldier."

"Your mission is to go to the place where the cyan flowers are picked and seek rescue."

"Destroy all the blue Higan flowers, leaving no one behind."

"No matter what the cost, we must bring rescue back to the mountains."

Following the retainer's words, the boy's dull pupils slowly focused.

Finally, the retainer sighed deeply.

"Thank you for your sacrifice, the family will be proud of you..."

Unfortunately, imprinting too many tasks will cause the brain of the dead soldier to collapse.

Poof!

The sharp knife was pulled out, and there was no blood on the blade.

But after a while, the boy's eyes regained consciousness.

He looked at his palm in confusion:

"This is…"

The retainer took out two larger "scalpels" from the box on the side again, and smiled at the boy with a relaxed expression:

"You still have a few minutes of self-awareness. There is a secret passage over there, leading all the way to another retainer's room."

"There is enough food in there, please settle your sister quickly."

Ordinary dead soldiers are artificially trained from childhood, and their self-awareness is constantly polished through torture and training, and they become real tools.

This requires a long time to train.

Although the dead soldiers created by the family's secret method are extremely short-lived, their life cycles are also very short.

But the cost is extremely high.

The only advantage is the skyrocketing combat power of the creatures transformed into dead warriors.

Therefore, when the family was prosperous, this technology was granted to learn, and was considered by many to be ominous, breaking many copies of the material.

Today, only the last two bottles of materials remain.

All for the family.

aside.

Tomioka Shishi gently rubbed his sister's head, he smiled and said softly:

"Hanako, let's play Shenyin together, okay?"

"Brother..." Hanako's confused eyes showed worry for the first time. She looked at her brother, a little at a loss.

But in the end, he smiled and nodded:

"good!"

The dead man Tomioka held back his tears. He pointed to a very hidden secret and said:

"Hanako, you go hide over there, I'll go to the other side, and that uncle will come and catch us..."

The retainer looked at the dead man who was arranging his sister, and he completely spilled the blood from the second bone bottle on the two swords.

Then, he squinted his eyes and looked at the moonlight coming in from outside the door, as well as the vague shadows.

He turned his head, glanced at Hanako who had left along the secret passage, and felt relieved.

Even if any step of the plan goes wrong, the whole situation will collapse.

Without time to think too much, the retainer held the two swords and smiled easily.

"Everything is for...the future of the Tomioka family."

Subsequently.

Poof!

It penetrated directly from both sides of his brain!

Blood and yellow and white things splattered everywhere, but as the retainer pulled out the blade, the wound healed quickly.

The retainer opened his eyes again. At this moment, he had forgotten something.

He had long expected this day to come.

So I rehearsed this action countless times in my mind early on.

But now, he has forgotten all the memories about those things.

At the same time, the memory in the brain has also been changed due to years of self-hypnosis in the subconscious. After the participation of special blood, the change has progressed by leaps and bounds.

Almost the moment he put the blade box away.

boom!

The door was suddenly thrown open! The whole thing flew out!

The female form of Wu Kuai walked in, her steps quick, her scarlet eyes instantly fixed on the retainer who stood up in the middle of the room.

The retainer looked at Wuhan, who knelt on one knee and lowered his head:

"Lord Wuhan." There was loyalty in his voice. At this moment, he was serving the ghost wholeheartedly.

"Master Wuhan! That retainer is him!" The evil ghost couldn't keep up with Wuhan's speed and could only shout while running behind.

Upon hearing this, Wu Kuai glanced directly at the retainer.

Subsequently.

Poof!

Wu Mei's arm suddenly turned into a huge abyss mouth, and his sharp fangs directly bit off the retainer's upper body!

The poor retainer lost his life before he could even scream.

However, he seemed to have a smile on his face at the last moment of his life.

Creak... creak...

As the sound of chewing came, blood and bone debris spattered, and Sen Bai's spine was torn out.

But the dead soldier Tomioka standing aside showed no reaction. At this moment, he seemed to have truly become a dead soldier.

The blood in the brain has also been consumed.

"Creak... creak..." Wu Kuan felt anxious.

Instead of asking about the location, why not just eat this person yourself and then explore the memories from his mind!

The giant mouth that the arm turned into kept chewing, and a memory gradually entered his mind.

Muzan digested the contents of the memory, and then slowly moved his eyes to Tomioka, who was standing motionless at the side.

From the memory of that retainer, Wu Mei learned.

The boy in front of me is the dead soldier who picked the flower stalk last time.

And that flower only blooms during the day, so humans can only be sent to fetch it.

Human dead soldiers without self-awareness are naturally the best candidates.

Wu Kai frowned slightly, he always felt that something was wrong.

He walked over to the boy, his voice darkening.

"What is your mission?"

Tomioka's body shook slightly, and his body reacted subconsciously:

"Go to the green Higan flower picking location..."

"Pick the green Hibiscus flowers."

Wu Kuan stared at the boy in front of him, and after making sure he didn't feel any emotional fluctuations, he turned around suspiciously.

Tomioka Mori followed Muzan and left the room together.

At the last moment of leaving the room.

Tomioka's eyes glanced at the half-body retainer lying on the ground.

"You still have a few minutes of self-awareness."

Then, the last light in his eyes disappeared.

…
