There is no day in the city that never sleeps, only the night that is as long as death. Thousands of candle-lit lanterns hang high, which is a sky full of stars as bright as a river. The tallest building in the city that never sleeps is a vermilion high-rise building named Awakihara. The residence of the prince. Awaqi was originally the place where Izanagi cleansed his left eye when he escaped from the underworld. Here, he gave birth to Amaterasu, who shines brightly on the earth, and this tall building made of crystal and red glass will also do the same. It radiates an extremely bright light in the dark night. No matter where you are, in the kingdom of Paradise, you can see its glory and splendor at night, because Taifu, the shining sun of Yoshiwara, is there.
Legend has it that the Taifu's room occupies the entire top of Awakihara, hundreds of meters above the ground, and is surrounded only by screens and shark's silk curtains. People inside will never feel cold, but will only feel the warmth of spring. . The room was luxuriously decorated, and the famous flowers in full bloom complemented each other, but there was no lighting, because the Taifu was the great god Amaterasu himself, and the golden light that enveloped the entire city that never sleeps shone from the Taifu's movements. Bathed in the glory of the gods, no matter how noble the guests are, they will fall to the ground and cry bitterly, vowing to serve the prince for the rest of their lives and never leave again.
-That is the sun, the warmth of life, something that ghosts have lost forever and can never find again.
It is precisely because of this that the passenger flow of the Evernight City has been growing steadily at a wild rate recently, because in one month there will be an election to select the next oiran from the four furisodeshinzao. In order to witness the Taifu's posture as equal to the gods, the dead man The whole country is boiling. Ghosts coming from all directions fill the city that never sleeps. The dayless night extends indefinitely to the end of time. There are women and men laughing everywhere. Houses are singing and dancing, colorful sleeves are flaunting, and new people appear every day. , and the old people are declining.

"Hey, have you heard about it?" In the wine room, a man in a mouse-gray short coat hugged a wandering girl with white shoulders and spoke mysteriously to his companions. On his exposed arms, several scarlet eyes came and went. Blink, "What's new in the room!"
The companion looked at the bright lights in the distance with the giant eyes in the center of his forehead, occupying hundreds of miles in the center of the city that never sleeps, like a giant building within a city, and said slowly: "What?"
The hundred-eyed ghost winked, and his eyes flickered like stars: "Don't you know? I'm telling you, it's Master Nue..."
"Lord Nue! I can't do it, I can't do it!" There was a lot of noise at the lower level of Yang's house, and Fan Tou Xinzao hurried behind, crying and wiping away his tears, "I beg you, please be merciful!"
The man in front let out an angry roar, and his long silver hair was like a flame, burning amid the broken colored silk and the screams of the wandering girls. The man was extremely tall, standing completely upright, with the top of his head even touching the ceiling painted with gold powder and lacquer. It was obvious that he had an unusual origin.
In the land of blissful underworld, Nue ranks among the top ghosts. Its prototype has the characteristics of a tiger, snake, monkey, dog, and pig. It can not only swallow wind and thunder, but also judge good and evil. Although Nue has a bad temper, good people can save their lives in front of it, while evil people will only be given an extremely miserable death by it.
Nue roared angrily: "What a shame! You clearly promised to go to the meeting, but now why do you go back on your word and turn around and agree to other men's invitations?! You must know that lying is also a kind of evil deed, and it is a crime that needs to be paid with death!"
"... Let's just say that Mr. Nue was fooled by Sachiko's loose tea in Yang's room!" Bai Mugui burst out laughing, "What can you do if you are rich and powerful? From ancient times to the present, life has always been a matter of course. Aren't you going to be played by women and applauded until you die?"
The companion slowly said: "Sachiko loose tea... Although she looks as beautiful as a flower, she is a vicious ghost girl. I heard that she likes to see men being deceived into losing everything by her."
Bai Mugui drank the sake in his cup, looked at the wandering girl in his arms, and said teasingly: "What do you think?"
Yunu smiled sweetly: "I only know that Sachiko Sancha has been very close to Mr. Irinacha recently..."
"What are you doing, Nue?" In the vermilion corridor, the sliding door suddenly opened, and a handsome young man leaned against the door and smiled, "What a charming ghost, why did you interrupt my date with Miss Sachiko at this time?"
The young man's cheeks have light demonic lines, his facial features are beautiful and moving, and his face is like that of a good girl. The feather fabric is embroidered with patterns like bird's wings, hanging lazily on the ground.
—The upper ghost, the bird inside. Its eggs are said to be smaller than human pores, but the adult birds are as big as golden eagles. The young are parasitic in the human body and often eat all the flesh, blood and internal organs of the human body before tearing open the human skin and breaking the shell. out.
Nue smiled ferociously, veins sprouting on his slightly dark skin: "Is it you, the thief, who has brought shame on my face?"
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't?" Nainai Que said with a slight smile, "Whoever Miss Sachiko wants to choose is her freedom. She is just a loser in the entertainment field, so why should she act resentful that she has been let down? "
Baimu Gui clicked his tongue and said in surprise: "They are about to fight! The ghost shadow warrior has no time to stop them."
"Hundred Eyes, did you really see it?" The companion laughed muffledly, "It's so vivid, as if you saw it with your own eyes."
The Hundred-Eyed Ghost's anger surged, and he pinched Younu's body in his arms. Younu quickly cried out in pain, "You doubt my eyes? You can say I'm deaf, but you can't say there's something wrong with my eyesight!"
The companion quickly raised his hand to beg for mercy. The Hundred-Eyed Ghost grunted twice, then Fang regained his interest and continued: "But no one expected that a fight would start soon. The result!"
As a result, at the moment when the air was extremely tight, the sliding door on the other side was opened with a kick, causing a loud bang!
"Fuck, who the hell is mourning outside in broad daylight!" Du Zijun's hair was disheveled, and his shiny long hair was like running water, covering half of his pale face, "You're not going to sleep, are you?"
Nue and Ruinaiqiao were both stunned. They all turned their heads and stared at the... wandering girl with an unkind expression.
Ever since they became wandering girls, life for the four of them... no, for the three of them, has suddenly become difficult.
He Qin's intention at the beginning was to lurk here for a month. If no accidents happened, they would pick the boss directly as soon as they reunited with the other players, and the identity of the wandering girl happened to be the least suspicious. So with the help and care of Xiaoshan Guang, they were promoted to Xiaoshan Tea and got a guest room next to it.
It would be fine to use this place as a base to stay up and down at night, collect intelligence, and contact players. But with just one sentence, Xiaoshan sent them to the even colder Siberian Icefields, where they bungee jumped back and forth between the Himalayas and the Mariana Trench: It turns out that not everyone is qualified to attend the Oiran election. Except for the guests who have spent tens of millions in the city that never sleeps, the rest are only the wandering girls who have earned three thousand small gold coins in this month. .
Three thousand small fines, what is the concept
Wen Zheliu counted on his fingers, a look of despair suddenly appeared on his face.
An adult man in the Edo period could buy enough rice for a year with one small gold coin, and three small gold coins would be enough to cover his expenses for 365 days. Three thousand small coins, you have to eat three thousand fucking years of rice, you set the bar so high!
Xie Yuanyuan opened the window of Yangwu on the spot and was about to jump from the top.
"Three thousand gold!" He said frantically, "Sell me! Sell me and see if you have three thousand gold!"
Du Zijun silently added: "That must be impossible..."
One wrong step, one wrong step after another, and it seemed that they had to turn into giggling prostitutes in a short month, wandering among men... men and ghosts. However, He Qin looked very leisurely, not taking it seriously at all, and encouraged them: "As the saying goes, do what you do and love what you do. Here lies the integrity and quality of professional players, gentlemen! What do you think, Miss Harumi Goto?"
Wen Zheliu sighed: "I think, how else can I feel? Now that things have happened... wait a minute."
He raised his head dully and asked: "Who is Goto Harumi?"
He Qin solemnly took out three small red sandalwood plaques with several elegant Chinese characters engraved on them, and handed them to Wen Zheliu and Du Zijun: "Ning Ning is the spring sea of five islands, I am the summer of five islands, and Du Zijun is the summer of five islands." Shimae Snow, this will be our nickname from now on. They are taken from Longji’s human surname in the third world and the scenery of the four seasons. This way, if other players come, they will know at a glance that their companions are here. Originally, Xie Yuanyuan also wanted to have a nickname, Goto Kaede, but ghosts couldn’t see him, so I didn’t give him a fake identity... "
"So I would like to thank you for your noble hand!" Xie Yuanyuan shouted, holding his head.
Hearing that Zheliu looked stupid, Du Zijun held the wooden sign and twitched the corners of his mouth, looking like he wanted to slap a rustling scene on He Qin's face with his own hands, such as the wind and snow blowing across the river...
"Who are you?" Inner Que smiled gloomily and glanced at Du Zijun's plain white kimono, "Miss, things between men..."
"Does a sissy count as a man?" Du Zijun sneered. He was already angry at getting out of bed. This group of people singing a big show at the door early in the morning was enough to make him angry, not to mention this pretty boy talking about "things between men", etc. Call it a matter between men? Circumcision and testicular removal surgeries are truly matters between men, the rest are just fucking secular affairs! If you two didn't go out for sex so early in the morning and looked at each other affectionately, were you planning to have each other's circumcisions or sex changes
The bird inside was stunned, thinking that he heard wrongly: "...what?"
A hand pushed Xie Yuanyuan out of the room. Although these ghosts couldn't see him, he still put on a round-necked shorts and tied his sleeves, just like a Qian who was forced to work in a soup house. Searching. He stumbled out in a hurry, leaned into Du Zijun's ear and said, "Sister, Brother He said these two can be taken advantage of!"
Du Zijun's eyebrows jumped when he heard Xie Yuanyuan continue to say: "Let go and fight, no problem!"
The mane on the back of Nue's neck stood up, and no one could tell what happened, but the eyes of the wandering girl in front of him suddenly changed, from impatient ridicule to excitement and chill as bright as a sword. For just a short moment. Yangwu is a high-end hunting ground for beauties and women. They are all hunters who come to the hunting ground to enjoy themselves. But at this moment, he vaguely felt that his identity and that of this woman as pale as snow had been invisibly exchanged.
He became the prey, and the wandering girl became a bloodthirsty hunter!
Nue bared his fangs unconsciously and showed his sharp claws in a wary manner.
"Why do you look so surprised? Aren't the wonders in the world made up of all kinds of coincidences? Just like some people are good at tea ceremony and flower arrangement, while others are good at singing and dancing," Du Zijun's voice was low and solemn, Slowly pulling up the long black hair that Xie Yuanyuan had personally connected to him. Nue and Ru Neiqiao looked at him warily. It was not an illusion. There was indeed a snowy wind blowing from the corridor. "And what I am good at... happens to be fighting ghosts."
The bird's face suddenly changed as he entered. Under tremendous pressure, Du Zijun pulled out the thin bamboo behind him that was used to create an elegant atmosphere and chopped it down with a thunderbolt in front of his face!
"My name is... Wu Dao Jiang Xue." Du Zijun stared at him condescendingly, his eyes radiating an extremely cold light. The cold and heat are like the fierce collision between summer and winter, blowing from under the fluttering feathers of birds hunting inside. The cold is the murderous intention that is more fierce than the eternal snow mountains, and the hot is the blood temperature boiling because of seeking ghosts. "Remember My name, the moment you disturbed my sleep by fighting for a woman, were you ready to die to apologize?"
…Who on earth would make such inexplicable preparations! The bird inside wanted to shout, but he was speechless. In addition to using his demon power to resist the bamboo branches that were sharper than the famous sword, more surging blowing snow sprayed out from Du Zijun's sleeves. came out, even flooding his face.
—Xie Yuanyuan carried a hair dryer and a refrigerator, turning the entire walkway into a world of ice and snow!
The muscles all over Nue's body were bulging like iron, and he shouted fiercely: "You are just applying it to me, how dare you do this?!"
He could only name Zafuji, because the lowest prostitute title in Yang's house was Zafuji, and he had never met Du Zijun before.
The bamboo branches shook loudly in the air and cracked loudly. Du Zijun slapped the bird in the face with his backhand. At the same time, he was whipped away with a whip and hit Sachiko's door backwards, scaring the beautiful ghost girl to retreat suddenly. .
Du Zijun looked back at him, and the snow was like flying catkins, rolling away from his flying white sleeves into the distance. Even though high-end props are locked by the rules of this world, the player's physical attributes are still at their peak level. Isn't it easy to draw a few ghosts
"I'm free to swat flies..." Du Zijun sneered, "...he suddenly wanted to kill all the flies."
Nue's face became extremely ugly because of this haiku, and he said solemnly: "Are you from the snow girl clan?"
Du Zijun shook his bamboo branches and asked, "Why, are you asking for mercy?"
Nue clenched his fists and said sternly: "Because I won't kill unknown people!"
The bamboo branches brought a biting sound of wind, and Du Zijun's figure suddenly disappeared into the wind and snow. Nue's nose twitched, and he immediately turned around and punched, and collided with the chopped bamboo branches!
Two powerful forces collided, and the bamboo was overwhelmed and immediately shattered into thousands of scattered fragments. Xie Yuanyuan's figure flashed beside Du Zijun at the same time. His fingers were like flying, and the formed broken bamboo was folded and released between his fingers. In an instant, it cut through the wind and snow, shooting towards Nue's eyes from all directions.
This is the shuriken technique of Katori Shinto style, and it is the assassination technique taught to him by He Qin. One of the most distinctive and representative movements of Katori Shinto-style swordsmanship is blood vibration. This sword vibration technique was originally created by the sword master Tsukahara Buden, who is known as the "career undefeated". It has the characteristics of combining offense and defense, and rotates and vibrates. When there is blood on the blade, the tip of the blade is also facing the enemy, so it can strike again anytime and anywhere. Therefore, the shuriken technique of Katori Shinto style also has this characteristic, whirling like a strong wind, and the sharp edge is always aimed at the enemy's weakness.
The two of them attacked the superior ghost Nue at the same time and successfully forced him back quickly, walking back step by step towards the door of Sachiko's loose tea. Du Zijun turned his hands into fists and punched Nue dozens of times in succession. The last punch blew away the snowflakes. Nue groaned and slid several meters back on the icy floor, with a trace of black blood at the corner of his mouth.
There was dead silence all around.
Du Zijun stood with his hands behind his back, his snow-colored sleeves and gown fluttering in the wind. At this moment, he was a little lucky that in order to attract customers, Yoshihara's kimono had been improved and the hem could be loosely swung. Otherwise, if it had been tied tightly like Liangya, it would have torn long ago.
Not far away, the ghost shadow warrior who came to maintain order stood on the spot and did not intend to step forward to interfere. This is the special feature of the Country of Underworld. Precisely because the residents here are ghost spirits who respect the strong, so Even if a fight breaks out between a wandering girl and a guest, they will not punish the wandering girl immediately, but will wait for the consequences of the dispute.
Obviously, Goto Eyuki defeated the two high-ranking ghosts on his own. The outcome was decided, and they had no reason to punish Yangwu Yume.
Ruinai Que, who fell to the ground, and Nue, who was covering his chest, were in shock, and a thought flashed through their hearts.
Damn it, I came here to play with women, so what’s going on now that I’m about to be killed by a woman? !
The situation was like this. It would be too humiliating to beg for mercy, and it seemed extremely embarrassing to fight forcefully... The elegant vermilion corridor was covered with snow. The culprit of all this, Sachiko Sancha, had already hid in the house and erected a screen to prevent guests from receiving guests.
Du Zijun took another step forward, and the two ghosts' hearts trembled. At this moment, a gentle clapping sound suddenly sounded in the room next to them.
The door that had been closed slowly opened. No one pushed it, but it slid softly and slowly, as if an elegant lady was standing against the door, using her graceful waist to hold it.
Xie Yuanyuan opened the door, then quickly rolled in and pulled out a small heater.
"The Guidian welcomes the first year, and the Tonglou charms the early years. Under the cut plum trees, dancing swallows paint the beams..." A voice sighed softly, "How can we let the cold wind of midwinter wreak havoc on such a bright spring morning?"
The ghosts onlookers outside were all stunned. Banto Shinzo, Younu, the ghosts who were also guests, and the ghost shadow warriors who never left, all stood on the spot.
What a sentimental chant? The sound is hoarse and lingering, just like after a long good night, the young warrior is covered with dew and is about to carry a sword for a long journey. The faint morning light diffuses from the sky, and the cold mist is dense among the grass. At this time, the girl he loves pokes her head out from upstairs, With her long hair disheveled and her plain white clothes messy, she stretched out her warm and soft arms to bid farewell to her lover. Then the chill in the warrior's brows melted away. He let go of the scabbard and waved to his girl...
The blazing warm wind lingered along with the sound in the room, melting the ice and snow into a winding clear stream. In a moment of spring warmth, flowers bloomed, and a smile came from the room: "The sunny day is bright, and there are two lamps in the humble room. Hot tea, why don’t you come in and warm yourself up?”
The smoky wind blowing against their faces made their bodies no longer under their control. Nai Que and Nui couldn't help but walk to the open door. They saw two graceful figures sitting inside, one wearing a black and red kimono. , the other is as soft and brilliant as cherry blossoms. The woman in black and red used a fan to cover her chin. She must be very tall, but her face was so beautiful, her golden eyes were like fireworks blooming on a summer night, and the ends of her raised eyes were lit with red marks like peach blossoms. , all the romance in the world. The woman next to her...or rather the girl, her hanging hair covered half of her face, but when she raised her head and looked at Nue and Ruinaique with her eyes, they felt a surging heat wave at the same time. soaked.
So much, so much love and tenderness... enough to make the ghost's limbs tremble, and from now on it will never be able to pick up a murderous sword or grow man-eating claws.
The girl lowered her clear eyes, and her fair skin showed two blushes in embarrassment. She sighed sadly: "God, what is this?"
What a pitiful sigh! Tears welled up in the inner bird's eyes and slowly trickled down the side of his face...
