Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 438 Falling Sakura City

night.

There are still fine snowflakes floating in the air, and the snow on the ground has not yet melted.

Chen Beibei and his shikigami were walking on the streets of Qinghe Town.

Although it was only after seven o'clock in the evening, there were only a few scattered people on the streets of Qinghe Town.

The windows of every household are lit with warm yellow lights, and the aroma of cooking is also wafting in the air.

When passing by the intersection of Qinghe Township, Chen Beibei subconsciously took a look at the location of Chunxue Noodle Restaurant.After that, the barber shop opened by two young men also closed down.

Now it has become a grocery store, selling some daily necessities, snacks for children and the like.

On the right side of Chunxue Noodle Restaurant, across the road, is the home of Zhao Tiezhu and Li Miaomiao.

although.

Li Miaomiao is dead.

However, Zhao Tiezhu led Zhao Pingan alone and lived a relatively peaceful life.

"Three-tailed fox, take me to the place where you work tomorrow."

Chen Beibei looked at Three-Tailed Fox and said to her.

At this time, Chen Beibei was still a little worried about Sanweihu's work.

Anyway.

Chen Beibei and the others have experienced too many things, be it monsters or humans.

There will always be sinister and dark.

Even if the heart is full of light, the darkness cannot be ignored.

"My boss doesn't like people visiting her very much. If the master really wants to see her, he can only pretend that he just went to see the shroud."

Three-tailed fox looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

"Don't you like being visited by others?"

"Well, my boss is a woman who is very afraid of being disturbed by others. And she doesn't have any friends. Maybe she has been hurt in the past. That's why she came to such a remote place alone to open a shroud shop. "

Three-tailed fox explained.

Three-tailed fox's tone was full of pity for the boss, as if he was her friend.

"So that's the case. Then listen to you, tomorrow I will pretend to be someone you don't know."

Chen Beibei looked at Three-Tailed Fox and said to her.

Sanweihu said that her boss is a very beautiful woman. To be praised by Sanweihu like this, her boss must be a rare beauty.

Such a beautiful woman.

Since I will come to a place where I am not familiar with, and it is still in a very remote place, I will open a shroud shop.

This kind of thing, no matter how you say it, is a bit strange.

……

The snowflakes kept falling.

Xue Nu walked quietly behind Chen Beibei and the others, her body exuding a cold air.

Those gases can be seen in bright light.

It's like the mist coming out of the spring water in winter.

"call……"

Xuenv stretched out her hand and blew lightly.

Snow stopped.

In the originally quiet space, there were only the sound of everyone's footsteps and the creaking of their feet on the snow.

If you want to eat supper at night, there is no such thing in Qinghe town.

and so.

At this moment, Chen Beibei and the others are on their way to Luoying City. Compared with Luoying City, Qinghe Town can be said to be a small town without nightlife.

After the sun goes down, everyone basically starts to go home to cook and go to bed.

Especially in winter.

In spring and summer, when the earth warms up, everyone will tell some anecdotes outside, and the parents will be short-sighted.

Leaving Qinghe Town, in fact, it is already Luoying City's territory.

The streets have also become wider, with tall buildings, and cars coming and going in an endless stream.

The streets are also full of neon lights of different colors.

"It's already eight o'clock...it seems that I can't catch the bus..."

Chen Yan looked at his phone.

"Let's take a taxi there."

Chen Beibei said.

In winter, snowy nights are extraordinarily cold, but because there are so many people around.

Everyone didn't care about the cold weather.

"Ah."

Chen Yan nodded.

After standing at the intersection for a while, the taxi arrived. Chen Beibei and the others took two taxis and headed towards Hot Pot City together.

……

Hot Pot City.

Unlike Qinghe Town, it seems that the influence of night has not been noticed here.

People come and go, very lively.

"Let's eat here."

Chen Beibei randomly chose a hot pot restaurant that seemed to have a lot of customers, and told everyone.

"Ah."

Shikigami replied.

Zashiki Waruji and Yingcao looked very well-behaved. When talking, both of them nodded at the same time.

Probably because he thought he would be able to eat delicious food right away, that's why he was so obedient.

"You can order whatever you want to eat."

Chen Beibei said.

Although Chen Beibei didn't have much money, Chen Beibei always had the habit of saving money in normal times.

When necessary, it is often possible to come up with a considerable amount of money.

A little luxury once in a while.

It's still possible.

Chen Beibei took Yingcao, Zashiki Doji and Yamatu to find what they wanted to eat.

Other shikigami are completely free to choose by themselves.

"Master, I want to eat this..."

"Master, meat... this... this... all of this!"

Zashiki Doji and Ying Cao said.

Yingcao is a monster transformed from grass, and her favorite food is all kinds of meat.

Lamb, Beef, Chicken, Pork...

Whether it's braised in soy sauce, braised, fried... as long as it's meat, it's Yingcao's favorite.

As for the mountain rabbit.

The mountain rabbit was wearing a small white dress as always, with bright red collar and cuffs.

It looks very clean and pure.

"Master, carrot!"

When the mountain rabbit saw a carrot, he ran over by himself, picked it up and ate it.

When people around see the mountain rabbit like this, they just think that the mountain rabbit is very cute.

No one thought that such a child, who was exactly like a human being, was actually a monster that had lived for 600 years.

and.

This monster.

There is also a huge mount!

soon.

Everyone picked out their own food, and the table was almost full.

Although it is only a hot pot city.

But because it is in a relatively central location in Luoying City, there are almost all kinds of things for sale inside.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten like this, so happy."

Zashiki Doji said.

"Then eat quickly."

Chen Beibei said.

Because the air conditioner was on in Hot Pot City, it was still very warm. Chen Beibei went to the refrigerator to get a few bottles of beer.

The beer is not very cold, but it will be very refreshing to drink.

eat hot pot.

Paired with cold beer, it is still necessary.

"Master, I want to drink too!"

said the mountain rabbit.

"You are still young."

Chen Beibei said.

"It's just that my body looks small, but in fact I'm already big."

Shantu looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

Although the mountain rabbit said so, after the monsters passed through the transformation period, their characters, language, thoughts and so on.They will gradually move closer to the transformed human form.

This is an instinct that monsters have gradually formed over a long period of time.

after all.

Only in this way can monsters hide in the human world better.

It is also a result of natural selection.

"Children drink alcohol, it's easy to get drunk, and it's not good for your health. Let you drink a little this time, and you won't be allowed to drink alcohol in the future."

Chen Beibei poured Shantu a glass of cold beer and said slowly.

It is already very difficult for monsters who have passed through the transformation period.

after all.

Most monsters have to go through a process of growing from nothing, and this process requires many coincidences to be realized.

And even if "yes" is realized.

That's just a group of spiritual energy that can absorb the surrounding energy that suits itself.

this period.

It is the spirit-gathering period of the monsters. This period is regarded as the period for the monsters to lay the foundation. How far they can grow in the future has a great relationship with the ability absorbed by the spirit-gathering period.

After that there are many, many other stages.

Chen Beibei didn't want Shantu to be found out to be a monster because he was drunk.

Practice is not easy.

Now that he has transformed into a human form and can live a good life, then naturally he must be careful everywhere.

Shantu picked up the wine that Chen Beibei had poured, and took a sip: "It must not taste good, why does the master like to drink?"

Shantu looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

"Well... I don't like drinking either. I just feel more comfortable drinking some cold beer when eating hot pot."

Chen Beibei said.

The coldness of cold beer goes well with hot pot.As for other times, beer is not very attractive to Chen Beibei.

"Yama Usagi, why don't you drink Sprite and Coke with Zashiki Waruji and the others."

Chen Beibei picked up the Sprite on the table and poured a cup for Shantu.

"Ah."

The mountain rabbit replied.

Time passed by little by little, but in the brightly lit night market, people seemed to forget the time.

By the time we finished eating, it was past ten o'clock at night.

"So full!"

Zashiki Warji touched his alone, and said with a satisfied face.

"Me too!"

Yingcao also followed suit.

The mountain rabbit sat on Chen Beibei's shoulder, probably because he didn't bring the magic frog... but he was used to not walking.

……

The next morning, Chen Beibei was woken up by the alarm clock.

It was agreed yesterday that I would go to see Sanweihu's part-time job today, so Chen Beibei got up on time.

"Master, let's go."

The three-tailed fox got up earlier than Chen Beibei, and had already washed up, waiting for Chen Beibei.

"Ah."

Chen Beibei hurried out the door.

"I'll go in later, master, you can wait a while before going in, so my boss shouldn't be suspicious."

Three-tailed fox looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

"However, under normal circumstances, it seems that no one will look at the shroud, right? Humans are more taboo about things related to death."

Chen Beibei looked at the three-tailed fox and expressed his doubts.

Shroud shops are different from ordinary shops. Under normal circumstances, basically no one will go to the shroud shop to look at shrouds.

perhaps.

The owner of Three-Tailed Fox probably chose to open a shroud shop because of this.

In this way, you can have less contact with other people and maintain your own life.

even.

Because of the scarcity of such shops, no one competes with her for profits.She can still live a relatively good life.

"Although there are very few people who go to see the shrouds, but because the shrouds made by the boss are very beautiful, and there are many styles. There are often some people who go there. The boss will not receive these people in person, and most of the conversations with people I did it all. So, the master doesn't have to worry about this."

Three-tailed fox looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

"So this is ah."

Chen Beibei replied.

It seems that the boss of Three-Tailed Fox really doesn't like to communicate with people.

In this case.

When Chen Beibei went there, he might just be able to see her.

As for speaking...it probably won't work.

after all.

If you take the initiative to talk to her, it will definitely make her feel uncomfortable.

Chen Beibei and Sanweihu took the bus to the north area of ​​Luoying City.

The North District is a little different from other places in Luoying City.

In the northern area of ​​Luoying City, there are basically few office buildings for office workers, and there are no large shopping malls and densely packed shops of all kinds.

The North District is a low-cost rental area for migrant workers.

Most of the migrant workers will choose to live in the North District, so this place is a little behind compared to other places in Luoying City.

Because the North District is basically some older unit buildings, the property management is hardly passionate about it.

In terms of law and order, and the sanitation of the North District, there will be a lot of difference. I often ask about the inexplicable smell of urine in the dark corridors, and more than half of the sensor lights in the corridors have already been killed.

For the aborigines of Luoying City, many of them have never been to the North District.For the North District, it has long been a place that they have forgotten along with the old unit buildings.

They will only think of it when they collect the rent at the end of each month.

"Master, this way."

When the three-tailed fox came to a fork in the road, he pointed to a path lined with hibiscus trees and said to Chen Beibei.

Chen Beibei and the others originally walked on a road paved with cement. If Sanweihu hadn't pointed out the small road next to it, Chen Beibei wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Even other people, certainly will.

Because the path looks inconspicuous at all, not to mention the hibiscus trees planted on both sides, the road surface is still dirt, covered with withered and yellow hibiscus leaves.

"When I first came here, I didn't notice this road. But after I got used to it, it became obvious."

Three-tailed fox looked at Chen Beibei and said slowly.

From that path, the end of the line of sight was obscured by trees further away.It looks like an underground passage, dark and narrow.

"Master, let me go there first. lest my boss find out that we know each other. After the master walks along this path until the end, you will see the shroud shop."

The three-tailed fox continued.

"Ah."

Chen Beibei replied.

The three-tailed fox walked into the path that looked like a tunnel, and soon disappeared around a certain corner.
