Even though I'm not human, you're a real dog!

I'm done playing!

I'm going back to the evil god cult!

Thinking he had been abandoned, Hidan immediately had the urge to retreat. He stopped fighting and immediately tried to get out of the monster's attack range and run away.

It's easy to get in, but hard to get out.

How could the black hair, which was still hungry, tolerate the escape of the only food in front of it?

And so Hidan... went numb!

He found himself seemingly trapped here.

The reason they were able to retreat last time was because the two of them worked together and were relatively far apart.

But now he's all alone, and he's foolishly run right up to their lair. How is he supposed to escape?

When your mind is in turmoil, your hand movements become chaotic as well.

Hidan, who was barely holding on, suddenly made a huge mistake. By the time he came to his senses, his legs were already entangled in black hair.

Just as he was about to use the same trick to cut it off again, the black hair around him didn't give him the chance and swarmed forward instantly!

Even though Hidan swung his kunai with all his might, the kunai's attack range was still too small, and he was eventually caught.

A large amount of black hair wrapped around Hidan, quickly turning him into a cocoon.

Hidan could feel those ghostly things trying to crawl into his mouth, nose, and ears.

He seemed to suddenly understand why those beasts died in that way.

At this moment, even Hidan wasn't confident that his "immortal body" could withstand it.

"It's all because of that bastard Shinji! He actually ran away at the crucial moment! If I survive, I'll definitely kill him!"

Just as Hidan closed his eyes and cursed someone a thousand times over in his mind, he suddenly felt a burning heat, as if it was about to set his skin on fire!

Shinji, who had returned at some unknown time, was carrying two wooden buckets and splashing the liquid inside onto the black hair. Then he took out a tinderbox from his waist and threw it out!

boom!

A raging fire shot into the sky in an instant!

He didn't actually abandon Hidan and run away when he left. Instead, after realizing that neither of them knew Fire Release, he went to the village to collect fuel.

This thing was really hard to find, which slowed down his movements.

Fortunately, he managed to return with all the fuel he could find before Hidan was eaten!

"Damn it, now you're going to die!"

Watching the large amount of black hair writhe and struggle in the raging flames before burning to ashes, Shinji decisively poured all the remaining fuel into the dry well, and then threw out the last tinderbox in his hand!

Amidst the towering flames, he seemed to hear the mournful howl of some ghostly thing, a sound so melodious and pleasing to the ear!

[Chapter Sixteen: The Cursed Object - The Perfect Perfume]

These eerie black hairs seem to be extremely afraid of fire, or perhaps they are inherently highly flammable.

Although he struggled wildly like a demon trying to extinguish the flames on his body, the more violently he struggled, the faster he burned under such a huge fire!

"Cough cough...Did you take down that damn thing?"

Hidan, who escaped from the fire, was in a terrible state. Not only was he charred black, but his hair and eyebrows had also been burned away.

The good news is that he wasn't eaten.

As for Shinji burning him along with that bastard, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, the biggest advantage of having an "immortal body" is that you don't have to worry about accidentally hurting someone, and you can even kill the enemy along with them!

If it were Hidan, he would also not hesitate to kill Shinji and the enemy together.

"It's not certain yet, but after this fire, that thing will be crippled if it doesn't die. You wait for me up here, I'll go down and check. If anything unexpected happens, just do what I did earlier and set it on fire, don't worry about me."

Shinji prepared to go down and check the situation, finish off any enemies who needed to be dealt with, and if there were any spoils of war, that would be even better.

Hidan was his backup plan left outside, ensuring everything would be foolproof.

"Whatever, I won't hold back." Hidan lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Shinji also believed that Hidan would not hesitate to take revenge if given the opportunity, so he was at ease.

Moreover, his actions of first escaping and then miraculously returning to save people just now actually increased the bond between him and Hidan by 50 points, reaching 251 points.

We're only halfway to the next 500-point mark.

This is undoubtedly another piece of good news!

Shinji lit a torch and jumped back into the well without saying a word; the well was covered in charred marks.

Upon reaching the bottom of the well, the desperate last stand that had been anticipated did not materialize, nor did the shadow of those black-haired figures appear again.

Only one small glass bottle, about the size of a palm, lay quietly on the ground, completely intact.

Shinji's expression immediately changed. He was certain that there was nothing in the well when he first came down.

In other words, this glass bottle is very likely something from the treasure chest, or an item dropped after killing that ghostly thing.

Regardless of which possibility it is, it means that this thing is definitely not ordinary.

So Shinji immediately and carefully picked up the thing, and the moment he touched it, the bizarre system that had almost killed him started to move again.

[Obtain the enchanted item - Perfect Perfume]

"It's actually a cursed object?!"

Somewhat surprised, Shinji immediately began to examine the area.

Enchanted Item: [Perfect Perfume]

Source: The perfect perfume is made by extracting the body fragrance of ninety-nine young girls.

Ability 1: It can emit a fragrance that most flesh-and-blood creatures cannot resist.

Ability 2: Catalyzes the production of a large amount of black hair, which can be digested and absorbed to strengthen biological flesh and blood.

Ability 3: Regeneration

Weakness: Fire

P.S.: Guess how this body odor was preserved?

. . . . . .

Shinji's eyes widened. He never expected that the strange thing he and Hidan had been fighting for so long was actually the bottle of "Perfect Perfume" in his hand.

If he had chosen to leave instead of fighting to the bitter end.

So it's clear that this cursed item will forever be out of his reach.

However, regarding the description of this cursed object...

Hopefully, it's not what he thinks.

Even so, he will still use it when necessary, there's nothing more to say about that.

After quietly putting it away, Shinji checked it again and, finding nothing else, left.

"Looks like good news?"

After Shinji came up, Hidan seemed relieved and asked.

Because he really didn't want to face that damn thing that just wouldn't stop attacking no matter what.

Shinji's face also relaxed, and he nodded, "It's completely solved. It's burned to ashes."

"That's good... But what exactly is that? I've never seen it before, nor have I ever heard of it?"

Perhaps because he had just been rescued, Hidan's speech was not as aggressive as before.

Of course, it could also be because they were exhausted at that moment...

After all, he was the one who fought that monster for half a day, he was the one who was captured and almost eaten, and he was the one who was burned!

After all that commotion, even the most aggressive creature probably won't have the energy left.

As for Hidan's question, Shinji already had the answer.

However, he couldn't explain it all, so in the end he could only shake his head, indicating that he really didn't know.

Hidan rolled his eyes after hearing this, but he was too lazy to ask any more questions.

"Can we still walk?"

"What do you say?"

"Then you can lie here, I'm going back to sleep."

"You bastard! Shinji Akagi, you're not human, you have no heart!"

"Great, very energetic! Keep it up!"

Shinji yawned and left.

The fire just now burned all the poultry carcasses around the dry well to ashes, and it came and went quickly, extinguishing itself immediately after burning away the black hair.

Therefore, it did not affect the surrounding villagers and houses, which undoubtedly saved a lot of trouble.

"Hey! You're really just leaving like that? ×&%¥#@…"

After cursing for a while, Hidan finally stopped, panting, probably because he was tired of it.

Then suddenly a red flashed before his eyes, quickly binding him, and while he was still stunned, it swiftly dragged him away!

Hidan looked up and saw that it was none other than that bastard Shinji.

"Hey, can't you be a little gentler! And you have to use such a rough method... Ugh!"

Shinji used the 'rope' formed by the Crimson Blood Technique to immediately seal Hidan's gaping mouth in layers.

"Finally, it's quiet. Whew~"

Shinji smiled with satisfaction, then pulled on the 'rope' and walked forward.

Bound and dragged along the way, Hidan kept making "uh-uh" sounds as if trying to curse, but clearly, this peculiar language was incomprehensible to almost anyone...
