Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 50 The Child in the Room
With Yingcao's company, the little girl in the red kimono finally left Chen Yan's mind temporarily.

Chen Yan didn't plan to tell Chen Beibei and the others about this matter yet.

She has always been her own business and solved it by herself.

It has been since childhood.

Otherwise, she would not be alive now.

In any case, that room can no longer be entered.

I have been in my employer's house for such a long time, and I have never had any problems.

And employers can do the same for themselves.

Keep going.

Don't bother with that child, and don't bother with that room, it should be fine...

Chen Yan still went to work, and the continuous rain stopped after a few days.

The sky began to clear.

The man in the hat went to play mahjong as usual.

From that time on, the man never mentioned anything about that room again.

It seemed that the child had disappeared along with the continuous rainy weather.

It seems that it never existed.

Chen Yan thought that if he really forgot about that child, he could really ignore that room.

Chen Yan thought that he could commute to and from get off work normally and live the same peaceful life as before.

However, she was wrong.

Some doors, once opened, cannot be pretended not to have been opened.

It's like Pandora's box, once it's opened, even if it's closed immediately, it won't help.

……

What broke the calm was a peaceful afternoon.

Chen Yan was preparing dinner for his employer. After washing the vegetables, they were snow white and emerald green.

Chen Yan picked up the knife and separated the white one from the green one.

The kitchen knife was very sharp, accidentally, a bright red slid out from Chen Yan's finger, and landed on the emerald green leaves.

bleeding……

Chen Yan put the cut finger into his mouth and sucked it up.

The sweet blood flowed down her throat and into her stomach.

So familiar smell...

fishy, ​​red...

In Chen Yan's mind, a red, crooked rectangle suddenly appeared.

In the middle of the rectangle, there is a white porcelain bowl.

Three fragrances, slowly emitting sandalwood-scented smoke...

Chen Yan came back to her senses and saw a little tabby cat looking at her outside the kitchen window.

"Meow……"

Curiosity, here again...

……

It was under her careful planning that Chen Yan entered that room again.

Taking a nap in the afternoon, slowly steaming tea...

As long as the employer drinks it, he can sleep soundly all afternoon.

Because, in the tea, there are sleeping pills that Chen Yan put in.

It is customary for employers to drink tea after lunch every day.

It was normal and natural, and the employer drank the cup of tea.

He would never have thought of a girl like Chen Yan.

Will you put sleeping pills in your tea?
The employer's nap, slept through the whole afternoon...

During this period, Chen Yan got the key from the employer and walked into the house again.

The taste of blood is fishy.

Blood belongs to human beings, and Chen Yan is not afraid.

At this time, she wanted to know why there was a child in the room.

And, why is there such a strong smell of blood.

Curiosity, that is.

Newton discovered gravity because of curiosity, and Watt improved the steam engine because of curiosity.

Chen Yan was not as good as them, but Chen Yan knew that he would discover something, and then change something.

Chen Yan opened the door, and the smell of blood was still there. Because of Chen Yan's attention to the smell of blood, the smell of sandalwood was not so obvious at this time.

The red line under the feet, dark red, crooked...

Chen Yan squatted down, the smell came from these red threads.

It seems that these red lines are drawn with blood.

The honest-looking child hadn't appeared at this time.

Maybe it was because Chen Yan left suddenly last time.

"are you still there?"

Chen Yan closed the door and asked softly.

This child's ability may be weak, or she may not want to hurt Chen Yan.

Otherwise, when Chen Yan came in last time, she could have done something to Chen Yan.

No matter what the reason was, Chen Yan knew that he was safe.

"Um……"

The little girl's voice came from a corner.

"You saw me last time, what's the matter?"

Chen Yan asked directly.

In the room, at the innermost corner, a little girl slowly appeared.

"Sister, can you take me away...?"

The child looked at Chen Yan and asked her.

The little girl's voice was very low, and she seemed a little timid.

"Are you a ghost?"

Chen Yan has seen lantern ghosts, three-tailed foxes, and fireflies.

To Chen Yan, there was nothing strange about another ghost appearing in this world.

"Ah."

The little girl nodded, still squatting on the ground.

"If you are a ghost? Can't you leave by yourself?"

In Chen Yan's mind, ghosts should be able to pass through walls, at least in an ordinary room, it is impossible to trap ghosts, right?
"In this room, a barrier has been set up, and I can't get out."

"Enchantment?"

"Well, look at the red lines around the house, this porcelain bowl, and those three incense sticks...these are all necessary things to maintain this enchantment."

the little girl replied.

Chen Yan looked at the red line, and the smell of blood became stronger.

This should be a psychological effect...

"That red line, is it blood?"

Chen Yan asked his own question.

The little girl buried her head on her knees, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Is...are you crying...?
"what happened to you?"

Chen Yan asked the little girl.

"Woo... that blood... is mine... woo..."

Chen Yan's heart trembled.

Unexpectedly, it would be like this, who is so cruel, using a child's blood to draw such a big frame.

"How do I take you out?"

Chen Yan decided to help him, after all, he was indeed very pitiful.

When I was young, even though I didn't have a mother, Chen Jianye didn't like me either.

But anyway, he still survived.

"I...I don't know..."

The child stopped crying and wiped away his tears.

Although Chen Yan can accept it, there are ghosts and monsters in this world.

However, this was the first time she had heard of enchantment in the real world.

As for the method of cracking, I don't even know.

"How about... you and I go outside together to see if you can come out?"

Chen Yan looked at the little girl and said to him.

"Well, sister."

The little girl walked towards Chen Yan, and Chen Yan took the little girl's hand.

The little girl's height only reached Chen Yan's thigh, when holding hands.

The little girl stretched out her right hand, and the red kimono sleeve slid down her hand to the elbow.

Chen Yan saw that there was a cut on her wrist...

The two walked slowly towards the door, when they reached the red line.

The little girl's body emitted a puff of blue smoke.

It's like pouring cold water into hot oil, the same scene.

"Wuuuuuu, sister, I can't get out..."

The little girl hugged her right leg and cried.

Chen Yan saw that the little girl's right leg was obviously burnt, and it was the little girl's right leg that touched the red line just now...

　Huh... When the super cowardly author fantasizes about these scenes at night, he expresses his fear...

　　And I checked the writer's assistant dozens of times today, and found that yesterday none of the favorites were increased, and there was not a single comment, so I was very upset, huh~
　　Finally, it is still the part of guessing the shikigami. Who is the shikigami who can bring wealth and good luck to the owner?
