Chapter 358: Doubts

It's not like Yoshiyuki has never asked his master, but Kazuhiro isn't very clear about this issue either.

The master tends to think that this is because Erika-sama hopes that future generations will forget her, so she does not leave a portrait. But it still doesn't make sense.

The first generation of Underworld Miko did say that she hoped that the world would forget her and the battle to seal the gate, and not let the public know what the Underworld Gate relied on to maintain the seal.

Let them think that the threat from the Gate of Underworld has been completely resolved and they can live with peace of mind.

But what does this have to do with whether or not to leave a portrait?

One more painting won't change anything. Messages that should be blocked can still be blocked.

Time will dilute everything. Including fear.

To be honest, there are a lot of missing records related to the entire battle.

There are no complete records of what exactly Erika and Genichiro did during the five years they traveled around Japan in preparation for the sacrifice.

Erika became a shrine maiden of the underworld at the age of twelve and was chosen as a sacrifice to seal the gate of the underworld. Under the protection of Genichiro and others, she set out to hold ceremonies throughout Japan to prepare for the seal.

It took five years, and he completed the seal at the age of seventeen and died in sacrifice.

And Genichiro is three years older than her. Died at the age of twenty-one.

According to the literature, his death was caused by using the ninth form of the Eight Desolations Sword Technique "Eight Desolations Exterminating Slash" too many times, which can shorten one's lifespan.

Therefore, there is not much life left after sealing the Gate of Underworld.

Therefore, Erika died less than a year after her death.

This move has only documented records, and he used it four times.

The first three times, the enemy was killed after taking action.

In order, they are the sword master Fushimi Hikoshiro who was eroded by the water of the underworld and turned into Shura, the Yamata no Orochi who was resurrected by the water of the underworld, and the slayer of the fire god Kagutsuchi.

The God of Fire was also resurrected by Izanami using the water of the underworld.

Before Izanami became Pluto, she was not so powerful. She was scalded to death while giving birth to Kagutsuchi, who was covered in flames, and then entered Hirazan.

As for Izanagi, he was very sad about the death of his wife, so he killed his child Kagutsuchi himself.

What happened next is very famous - Izanagi missed his wife so much that he ran to Hiraizaka to find Izanami, but at that time Izanami was merging with the power of Homi and her appearance was not yet He recovered and even had maggots crawling on his face.

When Izanami saw her, she turned around and ran away in fright. They even sealed the entrance to Yomi-Hirazan. This was the original source of Izanagi's resentment.

Later, she successfully obtained Huangquan's power and regained her beauty, but because she absorbed Huangquan's resentment, she became even more hostile to Izanagi, and even all living beings.

Kagutsuchi, who was killed by his father, was originally full of resentment. Coupled with the guilt for killing his mother, it is naturally easy for Izanami to take advantage of him.

Therefore, after he was resurrected with the aura of underworld, he was also full of anger towards the living people in the eternal world. Totally on Pluto's side.

The last well-documented record of Genichiro Maekawa's use of Hachiara Destroyer was to injure Izanami and create an opportunity for Erika's seal.

But it may actually be used more often.

Unless he is in a desperate situation, he will definitely not use such a costly trick, so Genichiro is really using his life to protect the underworld shrine maiden to complete her mission.

Because Genichiro Maekawa is so handsome, Erina always laughs when she sees Ichiro when playing Sekiro.

I just couldn't help but not hallucinate.

Yoshiyuki read from the classics that the Black Plume Ryu sent three Black Crow Pavilion ninjas to follow Erika to protect her from the beginning of the journey.

These black-feathered ninjas were three sisters, and two of them died one after another on the way.

The last one survived the decisive battle, but the ninja dog died in the battle.

From the limited literature, it can be seen that the surviving Kuroba ninja and another girl are the well-documented people who last saw Genichiro.

But who this "other person" is is not mentioned in the literature.

Yoshiyuki could only infer from the previous records and discovered that this "other person" was also a girl.

But the amount of information is too little.

There was no way to tell who she really was. He was probably a character that Genichiro was not very familiar with.

Yoshiyuki fell into deep thought because of what Asakura just said.

He thought of a rather big doubt that had concerned him for a long time.

That is, Genichiro Maekawa died according to records, but no one knows where he died.

I just knew that after the battle to seal the door, he felt that his time was short and he was afraid that he would not survive more than a year, so he left the Yida family and began to travel around.

There are indeed some records of the places he has been and the people he has met, but they are very few.

It is unknown what special words he and the black feathered ninja had with another girl when they met for the last time.

Although there is a high probability that it is just as recorded, just giving some last words and making arrangements for the funeral, it is very likely that some very crucial content was also said.

Yoshiyuki even wondered if Genichiro had found some way to extend his life and not die at all.

After all, it was also true that no one knew about his body.

Moreover... what Mr. Natsuko Ikemoto said before made him feel even more concerned.

Natsuko said she felt she had seen Yoshiyuki before.

She's just a girl, with long hair and shorter than him.

According to the height drawn by Teacher Xia Zi, it should be about 1.6 meters.

...But is that really a girl?

According to records, Genichiro Maekawa also looks like a girl.

Isn't it possible that he was wearing women's clothing?

As for 1.6 meters, it was very normal for men to have this height 1,200 years ago.

Of course, Yoshiyuki finally told himself not to think too much.

It would be better to pay more attention to the strange diseases that are spreading now.

Recently, this strange disease that causes people to suddenly fall into dreams has been given an official name.

It's called "strange dream syndrome".

Erina thinks the name sucks. Because it’s not that the dream is weird, it’s that I can’t wake up when I fall asleep.

So she gave it an even worse name: "Won't Wake Up Syndrome".

After hearing the complaint, Asakura said it was really bad.

Then, she gave an equally bad name: "Suddenly falling asleep while walking".

The influence of strange dream syndrome is getting bigger and bigger.

This can be clearly felt just from the two-point-one-line road between school and Akihabara that must be walked back and forth every day.

Pedestrians no longer have their own moods as before the incident. Instead, they generally appear nervous and uneasy.

Suicides have also increased.

Many people already have a lot of pressure in their lives, but due to the stimulation of strange dreams and major earthquakes, their minds have become more fragile.

This is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

The same goes for bad weather and the flu.
