Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 430 Returning to Qinghe Town
In an untouched forest, trees surround an old house.

The time has come to night.

The driver who left still did not come back, the sun disappeared bit by bit, and the moon rose with it.

Inugami has come to the first floor of the house.

The already gloomy light became even darker, with only a glimmer of pale moonlight shining in through the window.

"Where are those four women hidden?"

Inugami thought suspiciously.

Those rooms upstairs, except for a few rooms that are locked and cannot be checked.All other rooms have been checked.

If you want to break in, there will undoubtedly be traces left, and those people will know that someone has been to this house.The next thing will become very troublesome.

after all.

Inugami wanted to find out what those people were planning to do, and only after confirming that they were going to hurt the four women could Inugami take them away.

The first floor is a large hall, and there are no other rooms, and there are only some common furniture in the hall.

"Looks like it's in those locked rooms."

Inugami said secretly.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, and it was two men.

Inugami hid quickly.

"Is there a new woman at last?"

"Yeah, but it was hard to get it, and the beauty is from the upper class."

The voice of speaking was getting closer, and the sound of footsteps became very clear.

The door creaked open.

Inugami looked at the driver who had left during the day, leading a fat man into the lobby.

They climbed the stairs, the ladder trembling under their feet.

"The women are already asleep, don't worry, they won't open their eyes no matter what."

said the driver.

The driver was still wearing the leather jacket he wore during the day, with sunglasses and a hat.

in fact.

Inugami has never been able to see the driver's appearance clearly, but he can feel from his intuition that this driver should not be an ordinary driver.

He dresses and exudes a strong confidence.

"The castle belongs to you tonight. I'll leave first. If anything happens, you can call me directly, and you should remember where the weapon is."

The driver continued.

"Well, I remember."

"Have a great night."

There is a kind of seductive magnetism in the driver's voice, which sounds very comfortable.

If Inugami is the one being served by the driver, Inugami believes he would feel comfortable too.After all, everyone likes this kind of confident person, what's more, such a person is still serving himself respectfully in front of him.

……

Quiet night.

The fat man slowly climbed the stairs, the sound of heavy footsteps and some rapid breathing made the air exude a tense and weird atmosphere.

Inugami could even ask that there was a faint salty smell in the air.

It's the smell of sweat.

On the night when winter is about to enter, the air exudes a cold breath. Normal people just go up the stairs at a slow speed, so they will not sweat too much.

Unless... this person is very nervous now, or excited.

Inugami secretly followed behind the man.

The man came to a room on the second floor, and the door of the room was locked.

But men seem to be the key.

"Sure enough, it was locked."

Inugami watched the man walk in, then closed the door again.

at this time.

Inugami came to the door and put his ear on the door, wanting to hear the voice inside.

"Women are the most beautiful creatures only when they are asleep.

Most people don't know this. "

said the fat man.

"People are always trying to wake Sleeping Beauty up.

How stupid.

The Sleeping Beauty who wakes up is no longer a Sleeping Beauty. They don't understand such a simple truth. "

It was still the fat man's voice.

The women are clearly asleep and won't wake up easily, so the fat man can only talk to himself.

but.

He seemed to prefer it that way.

In other words, he has already regarded the sleeping women as his audience, and some words can only be said to some sleeping people.After all, people who are awake will interrupt others rudely and express some rebuttal views.

Inugami regretted not bringing the nightmare-eating tapir with him.

after all.

At this time, Inugami could only hear the voice in the room, but could not enter.

If the nightmare-eating tapir was there, then the nightmare-eating tapir could easily go into the room, stand in front of the fat man, and watch what he was doing.

……

on the bus.

Chen Beibei and his shikigami had been sitting on the bus for several hours.

"Luoying City has returned to its original appearance."

Yingcao looked at Luoying City outside the car window, people were coming and going, and flowers were blooming like brocade.

"Well, I really didn't expect it. When we left, this place had become an empty city, and now it's gradually recovering."

Chen Beibei couldn't help sighing.

In the past, because Jiu Tun-douji was on the mountain of Qinghe town, ghosts from all over the world came towards Qinghe town, causing Qinghe town and Luoying city to be unsettled.

Because of the protection of the monks from the Mahjong Temple and Chen Beibei in Qinghe Town, there were not many casualties.

But Sakura City is different.

When the ghosts just gathered, many people in Luoying City were injured.

Later, Banruo also killed many people in Luoying City.

During those hours, almost no one in Luoying City dared to go out, no matter it was day or night, they all hid at home.Some people who were able to leave also chose to leave.

Chen Beibei was very relieved to see that Luoying City had returned to its former prosperity.

Humanity.

Not as fragile as we thought.

Even if you have suffered a disaster, as long as you still want to live, you will be brave.

The ghosts who have been silent for hundreds of thousands of years appear in the human world.

This is something that modern humans cannot accept.

It is also something that scares them deeply.

but.

Even if these ghosts appear, human beings still have to live normally.

Humans are such a tough species.

"However, Shuten-douji should keep his promise and hide again."

Guan Hu said.

"Because Momiji and Ibaraki Doji are with him."

Chen Beibei replied.

Shuten Doji used to be the king of the ghost clan, when he chose to keep the hatred of the Great River Mountain War in mind.

He became a demon.

And now Shuten-douji began to believe in himself and his companions again.

Shuten Doji also regained his original intention.

——Let the ghost race live in the human world normally!

Shuten-douji once realized this dream, and was called the king by the ghosts.

now.

He is still running for this dream, but this time, it may take more time and more effort.

……

It was already late at night when we arrived at Qinghe Town.

The winter season.

There was a cold breath in the air, and Chen Beibei led the shikigami across the stone bridge of Qinghe Township, rubbing his hands together involuntarily.

Memories flooded into my mind with a trace of temperature rising in my hand.

At first.

It was on this bridge, also late at night, that Chen Beibei met a little girl squatting on the bridge.

That's how fate changed.

The kappa did not stay in the end, but the kappa was relieved from the pain and entered the cycle of reincarnation.

"Master, whenever I pass by this bridge, I will subconsciously listen to the sounds around me. I always feel that I will hear Li Xi's flute again..."

Guan Hu looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

"Li Xi?"

Chen Beibei lowered his head and looked under the bridge. There was nothing where Li Xi was standing.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in my heart.

Li Xi didn't know where he went in the end. After he became a ghost, he still played the flute under the bridge, but he suddenly disappeared during the period when Shuten Doji was haunting.

Although for the people of Qinghe Town, this is a good thing.

after all.

They thought that the sound of the flute under the stone bridge in the middle of the night was terrifying.

but.

For Chen Beibei and Guan Hu, it would be very sad.After all, Li Xi's life was bought by the Peach Blossom Demon with his own.The Peach Blossom Demon failed to return to her hometown, and Li Xi finally disappeared.

"Master, do you think it would be better if we prevented the Peach Blossom Demon from saving Li Xi?"

Guan Fox asked.

"Perhaps. However, that is Peach Blossom Demon's own choice, so she should feel happy."

Chen Beibei replied.

Back then, the Peach Blossom Demon heard the sorrows of human beings from Li Xi's flute.

Those sorrows are common to Peach Blossom Demon.

The Peach Blossom Demon woke up from the darkness, and the prosperous scene of Heianjing thousands of years ago still remained in her mind.

And now.

She could only hide in a peach blossom tree, and couldn't even talk to anyone.

She misses her former life and her former companions.

but.

But she couldn't go back to the past, which was painful and unbearable for her...

……

"Let's go, Chen Yan and Sanweihu must be asleep by this time."

Chen Beibei said.

The moon in the sky is still reflected in the clear river water, and the bluestone slabs also emit a cool light under the moonlight.

Qinghe Town is as usual, and nothing has changed.

It's like being forgotten by time.

cold night.

Dim yellow lights poured out from the windows, sporadic lights made people feel a little warm.

soon.

Chen Beibei and the others came to his house, which he rented at a cheap price.

It used to be a haunted house with a huge old locust tree in the yard.A hanged ghost was hanging on the branch of the old locust tree, but the hanged ghost disappeared in the end.

Standing outside the door, you can still see the branches of the old locust tree through the courtyard wall.

In the winter season.

There are still many green leaves on the branches of the old locust tree, which makes people feel kind.

"Dong dong dong..."

Chen Beibei, I knocked on the door, and a warm yellow light lit up in the dark house.

It was the room where Chen Yan slept before.

"Who?"

It was the voice of the three-tailed fox. The maturity and charm in the voice was something that Chen Beibei would never forget.

"it's me……"

Chen Beibei spoke in a normal voice, not loud, but in the quiet night, it was extraordinarily clear.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Subsequently.

The door is open...

Standing in front of Chen Beibei was a three-tailed fox in pajamas, which looked very much like a normal human being.

His black hair was draped behind his back because he was sleeping, and his body exuded a warm temperature.After seeing Chen Beibei, he quietly stood in front of Chen Beibei.

He didn't rush over to hug Chen Beibei, and he didn't cry excitedly.

Just standing quietly, some subtle emotions were revealed on the beautiful face of the three-tailed fox.

"Master, you are finally back..."

……

Castle in the forest.

Inugami leaned against the door, quietly listening to the voice from the room, the man told a story.

It should be his own.

"There was a kid named Fat who lived in a noisy household.

Mother is a violent woman.

And my father is a conscientious worker. When there is noise, it is always my mother's voice.

until a certain day.

The noise stopped completely, and the mother lay quietly on the ground, while the father was taken away by a group of strange men.

Fatty was taken to the orphanage, and then Fatty grew up here. His previous experience made him not like talking to others, especially women.

but.

As he grows older, Fatty has reached the age of 30, and until this age, he has never had any contact with women.

until a certain day.

Fatty was walking alone on the street when a seductively dressed woman grabbed him.

woman's temperature.

It was the same temperature as her own body, and she didn't speak, just pulled herself quietly.

For the first time, Pang didn't feel disgusted, and even raised a little expectation.

He knew what was coming.

The woman led him to a small room with red lights on.

Everything happened so naturally.

For Pang, this is a precious memory, but it is his hope that he can get closer to ordinary people.

but.

This glimmer of hope was quickly dashed.

When the woman asked Pang for money, Pang realized that he was just out for a walk, and the wallet was still on his bed.

Humiliation, name-calling, so loud that anyone on the street could hear it.

Fatty thought of the quarrel between his mother and father, and the scene of his mother lying quietly on the ground.

At last.

Fat killed that woman.

He didn't feel scared. Looking at the woman lying quietly on the bed, he felt... This is what a woman should really look like. "

Inugami doesn't understand this story, humans are too complicated for Inugami.

but.

Inugami knew that the fat man inside was a dangerous person.

Without hesitation, Inugami kicked the door open and walked in.

Although Inugami also likes to stay quietly in one place, he doesn't move for a long time.

but.

Inugami felt that, whether it was human beings or monsters, if they kept moving, the world would be too boring.isn't it?
