This is a green mountain area.

Liuxia stood on a dirt road in the countryside, surrounded by seedling fields that exuded a strong local flavor.

Looking far into the distance, there is a clear ditch not far away. There are traces of a gap on the channel, which should be used to irrigate the seedlings.

A few kilometers away, there is a green and lush mountain range, which is covered with towering ancient trees. The ancient trees have purple petals that hardly bloom in this season. Pink purple and natural turquoise are beautiful in harmony with each other.

This is a rare sight to be seen in the modern age seventy years later.

In 1995, the island country embarked on the fast lane of economic development at the expense of destroying a lot of natural environment. The only thing that can be felt in the city is the hustle and bustle and impetuousness.

However, the island country of this era has not yet embarked on that path, and is in the stage of transition from feudal society to capital society. Although there is already a trace of modern prototype, technology has not yet developed to the modern level.

There may be imported products such as electrical appliances and steam trains developed from the West in big cities, but ordinary rural villages are far from exposed to these. walk life.

“The Taisho period, from 1912 to 1926.”

Standing on the dirt road in the countryside, Liu Xia turned his head to look around at the surrounding environment, while digesting the 【Common Sense】 in the world of 【Anonymous Lingji】, code-named 【Ghost Slayer】.

“Different from the general world, this world has creatures called ‘ghosts’. Ghosts mainly eat humans. Those creatures have existed since thousands of years ago, and there are irreconcilable contradictions between them and humans.”

“While there are ghosts, there are also swordsmen who hunt and kill man-eating demons with special techniques. The organization that manages these swordsmen is called the [Ghost Killing Team].”

“In this world, I am an orphan whose parents and family have all died at the hands of evil spirits.”

Liu Xia silently chewed on the information in [Common Sense], and deeply felt the convenience that [Anonymous Spirit Base] gave him.

If there is no [Anonymous Lingji] to give him common sense, it would take him at least ten days to obtain this information, and he may not be able to find it.

Compared with this [Common Sense], the identity given to him by the [Anonymous Lingji] seems a bit insignificant.

It’s not that identity has no value, it’s just that in this era of technology is not as good as modern times, even the population of the country cannot be fully investigated, and the identity itself is useless. If you talk nonsense, no one will doubt that the value is far inferior to common sense. big.

“The mission of the Lingji update is to let me join the Ghost Killing Team. If I want to join the Ghost Killing Team, I must pass the ‘final selection’ held in Fujitsuyama. As long as I pass the final selection, I can become a member of the Ghost Killing Team. A lot of convenience.”

Lucia silently pondered her next plan.

It is imperative to join the Ghost Killing Team, not to mention that this is a requirement of the spiritual base update task itself, Liu Xia wants to get the information of the evil ghost and know the location of the ‘Twelve Ghost Moon’, so as to complete the two spiritual base upgrades The mission also requires the intelligence support of the ghost killing team.

“In any case, first find a way to join the ghost killing team, and then use the ghost killing team’s intelligence network to find information on cannibals and evil spirits, and wait for the opportunity to learn the ghost killing skills unique to this world in the process.”

Thinking like this, Liu Xia turned her attention to the mountains not far away.

“According to the information given by [Anonymous Lingji], it is only a few miles away from Fujitsuyama where the final selection will be held, and the final selection will also be held tomorrow.”

[Two Ceremony] once said that [Anonymous Lingji] will transmit him to a relatively accurate time-space axis. It seems to be true. This time and place is indeed the most suitable first choice for him to complete the task.

Lucia turned her head to look at the sky.

At this moment, the sun is setting in the west, and the splendid rays of sunshine dye the earth golden yellow, giving people a very dazzling feeling at a glance.

Liu Xia mobilized the small amount of magic in his body to gather his eyes, and used the [Magic Reinforcement] method to magnify the vision of his eyes several times in one go, and he could even see the scenery two kilometers away clearly.

“It’s not far from Fujii Mountain. Even with luggage, I can arrive within half an hour at my speed.”

Liu Xia silently calculated the journey and time, “Tomorrow is the day of the final selection, so there should be a lot of alternate members of the Ghost Killing Team coming here from all directions tonight.”

This is an opportunity.

Night fell gradually.

Like a jade plate, the bright moon hangs in the sky, shining bright moonlight on the earth.

This is a rare full moon night. Although it is not as bright as a modern city full of neon lights, the light it sheds will not make people invisible.

Liu Xia dragged her suitcase and came to a dilapidated ancient temple on the edge of the hill.

Because of the age, the ancient temple has long been dilapidated, and even the wooden gate has collapsed, hanging there crookedly, but fortunately the interior is still intact, barely able to block the cold wind at night.

Liu Xia untied the piano case on the back and the double knives on his waist, opened the suitcase, took out a lighter, and lit it with the dry wood collected from the surroundings.

It was not until the pyre was bright enough to illuminate the ancient temple, which was enough to guide passers-by, that Liu Xia sat aside, took out the mineral water and compressed biscuits from the suitcase and ate it.

Although he has been [Servant], his body is still human, and he still needs three meals a day and sleep.

in the ancient temple.

While the swaying flames released warmth, it also illuminated Liu Xia’s face.

In the wild at night, if you walk alone, it is easy to be afraid of the dark environment around you. When you see someone lighting a fire, you will unconsciously approach and join the other party.

This is a symbol of human grouping, a testament to the inability of human beings to stay away from groups.

“In this way, it should be able to attract one or two alternate members of the Ghost Killing Team to come over…”
