Chapter 192 - If There Is an Afterlife

…

Physician's Hall.

Zhushi room.

Faint moonlight spilled into the dark room through the window.

The petals of the cyan Hibiscus flower, whose roots are wrapped in blood, tremble slightly.

"...Ms. Tamashi..." Yushiro put his hands behind his back, nervously holding the envelope hidden in his sleeves.

His face was tense, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly unnaturally.

"Yoshiro...are you okay?" Tamashi saw that something was wrong with Yamamoto Yushiro. She stood up worriedly and walked towards him as she spoke:

"Is it because of what happened just now?"

When Yushiro saw this, he immediately took half a step back nervously, pressed his whole body against the door panel, and turned his head in a panic:

"No, I'm fine, Miss Juyo."

He closed his eyes slightly and closed them tightly.

His mind went blank, with no space left for him to think.

Yushiro knew that he had to make a decision now.

This decision may make you regret it for the rest of your life.

"That's it..."

Zhu Shi looked at Yushiro's appearance. Although she was a little worried, she couldn't say anything. She silently retracted her hand in the air.

"If it's very difficult, it'll be fine if you don't say anything."

Zhu Shi felt that she seemed to have thought something wrong, and she quickly tried to make up for it.

"Huh..." Yushiro let out a long sigh of relief.

He opened his eyes again and had made his decision.

The hand holding the envelope loosened slightly and he lowered his head.

Da da da!

He walked forward quickly and stood in front of Zhu Shi.

From behind, he took out the crumpled envelope.

With Zhu Shi's confused expression, he slowly placed it in her hand.

Yushiro's tone was solemn and his face was a little gloomy:

"Please...must watch it."

"that's all."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhu Shi to react, he immediately ran to the door in a panic, opened the door and fled quickly.

"Eh..." Zhu Shi looked at the door that had closed again and Yushirou who had left, and tilted his head in confusion.

She lowered her head, sat back by the window, and looked at the writing on the envelope.

"...Shan Shushu...this is..."

Just when Joo Se is about to open the envelope and read it.

Boom!

The door to the room suddenly opened again.

Zhu Shi looked up subconsciously.

Standing at the door was a panting and red-faced Yushiro.

His eyes wandered, he scratched the back of his head and walked into the room again, closed the door behind him, and explained timidly:

"Sure enough...I've thought about it...I'd better wait here for you to finish reading."

"For this kind of thing... it's really better to get the answer face to face..."

As he said that, Yushirou glanced at Tatsuo cautiously and asked softly:

"Ms. Juyo...you haven't opened the envelope yet, have you?"

Although Tamashi was surprised by Yushirou's unusual behavior, she didn't say anything. She just nodded: "Well, I haven't read it yet."

Yushiro nodded, stretched out his hand and motioned for Tamashi to open the envelope, but he stopped talking.

In a somewhat strange atmosphere, Zhu Shi sat in front of the window in confusion and opened the envelope in the moonlight.

So thick…

Zhu Shi felt the thickness of the envelope and felt something was wrong.

rustle……

Slowly take out the first piece of letter paper from the envelope.

The first sentence that caught my eye:

'Miss Zhushi'

'like…'

Zhu Shi's expression was a little at a loss for a moment.

But after all, she was a ghost who had lived for hundreds of years, and she adjusted her emotions in just a moment.

She quietly glanced at Yushirou, who had his head lowered. She held back her emotions and read on slowly.

…

sand…

A piece of letter paper was read and placed on the table next to it.

Sand...another one.

Sha...the third picture.

As the letters piled up on the table, Yushiro's expression gradually became panicked.

…

…

Outside the doctor's office.

It was already late at night.

A group of people gathered at the back door of the doctor's office, quietly doing some sneaky things.

"...Strange, why can't I hear the sound?" My wife Shancun pressed against the door panel and listened carefully to the sound.

His hearing had always been excellent, but it seemed like it was of no use at the moment.

——Can't hear anything.

"Let's go, my wife." Kazama Chengya stood aside. He folded his arms helplessly and looked at the deserted street: "This is not good."

Jiichiro nodded in agreement: "That's right, Shancun, let's go back and rest first."

"Ha...ah, I'm leaving first."

Minami Yuebai yawned, waved his hand, and said he was leaving here: "We will continue training tomorrow."

"Well! The moon is also beautiful tonight!"

Purgatory Jinjuro looked up at the moon. His hearing was not very good, so he didn't pay much attention to Shancun's true intention:

"If there were no ghosts, the night wouldn't seem so unpleasant!"

Nijuro holds a Nichirin sword in his arms. The blade has a special shape, like a burning flame.

The words "Takehara" and "Purgatory" are engraved on the scabbard.

Yan Cijian is not here, he seems to have gone back to rest early.

My wife Shancun listened carefully, and he frowned slightly.

"If you want to leave, just leave. I won't leave until I hear the result."

My wife Shancun put her ear to the door panel and waved her hand towards the pillars behind her: "By the way, remember to leave a door open for me when you go back."

He suddenly exclaimed:

"Oh! I heard it, I heard it!"

While my wife was eavesdropping selflessly, he didn't pay attention at all. All the pillars around him stopped talking.

And he looked at the twisting back of my wife Shancun with pitiful eyes.

because--

Shang Quannai was standing on the opposite side of the street, looking here silently.

He looked at the pillars gathered around to make way for my wife Shancun's position, and walked over in confusion.

Shang Quanna just went to see Iwakatsu's condition, and after finding that he was still awake, he went to help Yuyashiki Sukeyo and the others pick up Iwakatsu's wife and children.

He was handed over to Ubuyashiki Sukeyo for placement.

clatter.

He stood behind my wife Shancun, looked at her slightly frowning side face, and suddenly said:

"what are you doing?"

"Tsk, stop talking, we are getting to an important place!"

My wife Shancun smacked her lips, and he hurriedly waved his hand behind him to signal Shang Quannai not to speak.

--etc.

But the next moment, his sensitive ears distinguished Shang Quannai's timbre.

The entire expression on his face instantly froze, and his body became stiff.

My wife Shancun slowly turned around, her face trembling, cold sweat flowing violently, and panic written in her pupils.

Snap.

Shang Quannai put her hand on his shoulder and patted him gently:

"You have quite a lot of energy. Before others train tomorrow, you will run three times around Mount Saagiri."

"No--!!"

My wife Shancun’s pitiful screams echoed through the sky every day.

…

…

After dispersing the Kaizhus and letting them go back to rest, Shang Quan Nai had no choice but to stand on the street late at night with his hands on his hips and sighed.

The streets were deserted late at night.

The white moonlight fell on the brick floor, and the wind chimes under the eaves that reflected the moonlight were sounding slowly.

Shang Quannai looked up at the moon in the sky, his mind slowly calmed down, and he occasionally thought about the familiar future that would only be seen for hundreds of years.

The neon Warring States Period is really exhausting.

Just when Shangquan Naiya was about to turn around and walk towards Saagiri Mountain.

Creaking…

The door of the doctor's office was pushed open, and some old wooden doors made a decaying squeezing sound.

Ta-ta-ta, the sound of clogs came from one side.

Tamashi, wearing a purple kimono, walked out of the doctor's office.

With a touch of sadness in her eyes, she slowly leaned against the wall outside the doctor's office, and immediately met Shang Quannai's gaze standing in the middle of the street.

"Lord Kamizumi," she said.

It seems that the emotion has reached the extreme, Zhu Shi seems to be a little straight to the point:

"...There is reincarnation in this world, right?" Zhu Shi raised her eyes and looked at Shang Quan Nai. She always seemed to have some sadness in her expression.

In the somewhat humid air, Zhu Shi's eyes hidden in the shadows seemed to be shining with some light.

Shang Quannai turned his head in surprise and frowned in confusion:

"Why are you suddenly interested in this?"

Zhu Shi pursed her lips and explained softly:

"Please allow me to take the liberty..."

"I heard Mrs. Udo talk about it before."

"You seem to be able to see other people's souls... and you also said something similar to reincarnation..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Shi's eyes seemed to have some hope, and she looked at Shang Quan Nai seriously:

"is that true?"

"Souls can be reincarnated, that kind of thing."

Although it sounds like an explanation, if you think about it carefully, Jushi actually avoided directly explaining his real reason in a subtle way.

Shang Quanna looked at Zhu Shi silently. He stared at it for a long time until Zhu Shi withdrew his eyes with some disappointment.

Then he nodded slowly and replied:

"…existing."

"Souls and reincarnations both exist."

Zhu Shi was stunned, clenched his fists in front of his chest, and looked at Shang Quan Nai with some surprise.

Shang Quannai's tone was low and he continued:

"After a person dies, his white or blue soul will rise into the sky. The soul of a person who has a family alive will stay with their family for several years."

He lowered his eyes and said words that even he didn't quite believe.

He never saw Kamado Shigeru's soul appear even for a day.

Therefore, Shang Quannai has always been worried.

Is there something wrong with Mao?

Such thoughts often echo in my mind.

He continued:

"The souls that accompany family members are occasionally seen by ordinary people... so there are rumors of reincarnation among the people."

"And the souls that ascend to the sky will wait for the opportunity to reincarnate in a few years or decades or hundreds of years."

"These are all true." After Shang Quannai finished speaking, he looked sideways at Zhushi. Zhushi's red soul was so dazzling in the night.

Hearing this, Zhu Shi nodded gratefully with a smile on his face: "Thank you..."

"But..." Shang Quannai's tone changed. He looked at Zhu Shi's ups and downs of emotions and vaguely guessed something:

"Ghosts are different."

Zhu Shi was slightly startled, and she and Shang Quan Nai looked at each other.

"Ghost." Shang Quannai said in a heavy tone:

"After death, you will really go to hell."

"If it were Wuhan, he might stay in Abi Hell and never come out."

After Zhu Shi listened to what Shang Quan Nai said, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She said to Shang Quan Nai in a comforting tone:

"I understand, I've been mentally prepared for this."

The sky was getting dark and it looked like it was going to rain.

Dark clouds as black as ink shrouded the sky above Sawu Mountain, as if a large pen was surging in them, and the atmosphere became depressing.

The feeling of moisture in the air is getting stronger and stronger.

Shang Quannai stared at her for a while, then slowly nodded, waved and said goodbye:

"Pay attention to rest, I'm leaving first."

"Yes." Zhu Shi nodded slowly, with very graceful movements: "Same for you."

After slowly watching Shang Quanna leave, Zhu Shi also slowly turned around, walked into the doctor's office, and closed the door.

Wow——

The next moment, heavy rain fell from the sky, instantly soaking the brick streets.

On a rainy night, the wind chimes swayed slightly.

The cold breath made people shiver.

Only Yushiro was alone. He stood under the eaves of the alley on the side of the doctor's office, looking up at the rainy night sky.

His face was full of tangled yet calm expressions.

The rain falling on the ground splashed and wet his clogs.

"Alas..." He let out a long sigh.

"...Ms. Tamashi." Yushiro lowered his head, recalling everything that had just happened.

As expected, Miss Jushi rejected his love.

In memories.

"Sorry, Yushiro." Tamashi slowly put down the thick envelope in her hand, with an apology in her tone:

"The letter... I have read it. It is written very seriously."

"Thank you for your affection for...me."

In a daze, Yushirou only remembered that his pupils were trembling violently.

"But, I'm sorry...I just want to...fulfill my wish to kill Wuhan."

Jushi's calm and dreamy voice echoed in her mind, becoming very distant.

"What's more...I can't let go of my former family..."

"I... am still a ghost who has eaten people..."

"...So, I'm sorry, Mr. Yushiro."

"I can't accept your feelings."

In his memory, Miss Tamashii had never smiled so miserably. For a while, Yushiro even thought that he was the one who made Tamashi so sad, and he felt very guilty in his heart.

Just when he wanted to say something as much as possible.

However, Tamashi pursed his lips, leaving Yushiro with the last glimmer of hope.

In the hazy memory, Tamayo said to Yushirou like this:

"But...if...there is an afterlife."

"If, I wash away my sins in hell."

"by that time…"

"perhaps…"

The subsequent memories have become even more blurry. Yushiro only remembers that he solemnly nodded and swore, and made a loud promise.

"I will definitely wait until that time! Don't worry! Miss Juyo!"

"Absolutely! I will take you back!"

"I swear on the name of...Yashiro Yamamoto!"

…

In the rainy night, Yushiro didn't know when he was completely standing in the majestic heavy rain.

The patients have long been accommodated in new open wards, so there are no seriously injured warriors on the streets.

He raised his head to look at the sky, then turned his head and looked deeply at the Saagiri Mountain that was shrouded in dark clouds.

"...how...to hold on until that time..."

The man whose doctor's robe was soaked in the rainy night was muttering quietly to himself.
