Crescent Moon stood on the street of a small town in Musashi country, raised the bamboo hat on her head slightly and looked around the road.

This is a relatively prosperous small town. There are many small vendors dotted on both sides of the street, selling and shouting loudly with smiling faces.

This is rare. After all, since the Onin Rebellion, daimyos all over Japan have risen and separatist regimes have divided the originally relatively complete Japanese territory into small countries.The disputes and squabbles of the superiors finally affect the people who live in poverty and the lowest status. You can see one or two of them by looking at the sallow, emaciated, and lifeless souls in hell over the years.

After the Yingren Rebellion, because the war lasted too long, the people under the rule of the daimyo of various countries were killed and injured countless times, and the people's livelihood was in decline.In order to let the severely damaged agriculture and population recover and recuperate, the wars in the past ten years have been consciously reduced. Although there are frequent small fights, it is better than before.

And it seems that the people in this town live a pretty good life, and it can be called a scene of living and working in peace and contentment.

At least compared to the many dilapidated small villages seen along the way of Crescent Moon, this place is obviously much more prosperous.

In this way, the mayor of this town must also be a good manager.

The small vendors on both sides of the road where Crescent Moon is standing buy a variety of things, most of which are items used in daily life, and some are things like hairpins and jewelry that women at home can use. Simple food desserts and the like.

Standing in front of a snack stall for a long time, Yue Ya pursed her lips and hesitated.

There are all kinds of snacks on this small stall, which look delicious in color and fragrance.After staying in hell for a long time, Yueya has never seen food in the human world. Although as a monster, he doesn't care whether he eats food or not, but maybe it is because his body has the memory of being a human being. These snacks, which he had never seen in hell, made some saliva in his mouth for no reason.

Yueya has been standing in front of the stall for too long, how can she be unobtrusive in front of a living person, not to mention that Yueya is dressed in simple but extraordinary materials, and there is a gun around her waist, which is easy to make people think It was the young son of a noble family who ran out to play in the street.

"My lord, do you have something to eat?"

The owner of the stall was a kind-hearted old man with a thin beard and mottled frosty hair. The way he smiled made Yueya feel a little familiar, and he felt a lot of affection in his heart.

This feeling is too strange, Crescent Moon has never felt this feeling after living in hell for hundreds of years, he looked at the old man who introduced these snacks to him, and unexpectedly responded.

If it was in the past, he would definitely leave without even turning his head.

"This is dried persimmon, gold flat candy, and mochi. Although these little things may be small, they are delicious and can fill your stomach!"

The old man was very excited and started to introduce Crescent Moon standing in front of him one by one.

"Would you like to eat one?"

The old man picked up a piece of persimmon and stuffed it into Yueya's hand. Yueya hesitated for a moment looking at the persimmon with a thin layer of hoarfrost on its surface, and took a bite lightly under the expectant eyes of the old man.

The orange skin was bitten open by the teeth, and the sweet and slightly astringent flesh of the persimmon fell into Crescent Moon's mouth, and after a few chews, she could still taste the deliciousness.Crescent Moon slightly softened her cold eyebrows, she seemed to like it.

The old man smiled even more happily, and asked briskly, "Do you want to buy some?"

Crescent Moon nodded, "Take some."

In the end, for some reason, Yueya took a small bundle of persimmons wrapped in paper by the old man and walked down the street.

He looked up at the small town in a daze. He didn't know where he should go for a while. After thinking for a long time, he decided to find a small hotel to solve the problem of accommodation for tonight. Although the monster doesn't mind whether the living conditions are difficult, but if Why not be happy if you can live more comfortably?

I found a small hotel, and Yueya walked in. There are a lot of people coming and going in this small town on weekdays, so the business of the hotel is not bad. The owner of the hotel is sitting behind the checkout table keeping accounts.

Yueya walked to the table and took off the bamboo hat on her head, "Give me one for the room."

The store manager was doing the calculations, when he heard the voice, he subconsciously raised his head to look at the customer in front of him, and was a little surprised when he saw the appearance under the crescent hat.

Crescent Moon is already good-looking, after becoming a monster, it adds a bit of attractiveness to his appearance that ordinary people don't have.

"Okay okay."

The store manager responded again and again, looking at Yueya's appearance, he subconsciously thought that this was some noble young master who came out to play, after all, ordinary people can't maintain such an appearance and bearing.

Most of the people around were very curious when they saw Yueya's appearance, and many ladies in small sleeves looked at Yueya, talking and laughing, which made Yueya feel a little uncomfortable, who had never experienced this before, and put on her bamboo hat again. Avoiding the sight of these people, he followed the store manager's steps and went upstairs to his own room.

Because she came to the human world not to play but to work in hell as a serious assignment, Yueya thought that the owner of the hotel who came and went to receive many people every day might know what to do.

As soon as she stepped into the room, Crescent Moon could smell the faint fragrance floating in the air, and Crescent Moon was a little puzzled as she stayed where she was.

The store manager, who is still used to doing business by observing words and expressions, saw Yueya's slightly strange expression, and pointed to the small incense burner placed on the table in the room that was emitting white smoke leisurely and said to Yueya.

"There are no special customs in our town, but we often light some wisteria flowers when we fall asleep at night."

"The rules left by the ancestors say that it can resist evil spirits. Although I have never seen it, the wisteria flower is a good thing to calm the nerves. If you mind, I will take this incense burner out."

Crescent Moon naturally didn't mind, it would be better to say that she felt a little relaxed when she smelled the faint fragrance of wisteria flowers wafting in the house.

So he shook his head and said softly, "No need."

The store manager smiled and was about to leave, but before turning around, he was stopped by Yue Ya.

"Sir." Yueya stopped the store manager, and asked with a measured tone, "I want to know, is there a lot of people who died or disappeared for no reason in this town or somewhere else?"

This is an interesting question.

The store manager stood there thinking, and after thinking for a long time the store manager seemed to have just remembered something.

"There is no such thing in this town, but I have opened a hotel here for many years, and I have heard of quite a few."

"I heard that in another town hundreds of miles away from us these two days, some young people disappeared at night for no reason!" Speaking of this, the store manager showed some regret and worry on his face, and said with a sigh.

"I don't know what's going on, they are all young children, how sad their parents must be."

It was the first time for Yueya to hear the story of this kind of evil spirit, and she couldn't help frowning when she heard the words. He knew that the evil spirit mentioned by the store manager was different from the jailers he knew in hell, but he still couldn't help thinking A bit repulsive, thinking that everyone who works hard in hell is really innocent to be called evil spirits because of such things.

The store manager told some stories in bits and pieces from the tourists who came and went in the store. Yueya got a general idea, and let the store manager leave after thinking that it was almost done.

Putting the persimmons bought from the old man's small stall on the table, Yueya skillfully tidied up his mattress. This is something he has never been familiar with since he lost his memory, as if he has done it thousands of times.

As the sun set, the small vendors on the bustling streets of this small town had already started closing their stalls one by one and preparing to go home. By the time the sun set, the houses along the street had already lit up with warm lights.Crescent Moon looked at it for a long time, pulled down the window, and sat on the bed thinking about how to find out the reason why the number of deaths in hell is not right now.

Just when he was thinking carefully, he heard the noise coming from outside the house, Crescent Moon stood up from the tatami, put on her clothes, walked to the shoji door and opened it.

It was a samurai wearing a samurai uniform, sitting drunk in an inn and having a drunken madness.

"House... what smells in the house... order that kind of incense!"

"I... I'm a man! That kind of bitch... take it away!"

The samurai blushed, and ordered the store manager arrogantly while talking.

The store manager looked like he was having a headache. This person is a customer in the store, so it's not easy for him to be kicked out, not to mention that the samurai leader is tall and powerful. Who knows if a drunken madness will hurt people? Human life is worthless.

It took the boss a lot of effort to persuade the samurai into the room, so as to coax the samurai into his room, the store manager wiped his sweat and took out the incense burner from the room.

Crescent Moon stood by the door quietly watching the store manager finish these tasks, and she was extremely disgusted with the drunken samurai in her heart.

Seeing the frowning Crescent Moon, the store manager was stunned and said with a smile: "My lord, did I bother you?"

That's not the case, Yue Ya looked at the tired look of the store manager and shook her head, she pursed her lips and said softly, "No."

"take a break."

After finishing speaking, Crescent Moon gently closed the shoji door, sitting in the futon, thinking about how to find out the source of the wrong number of deaths in hell.

The moonlight was deep, and on the empty and quiet street, there were only birds flying by from time to time. They landed on the roof to arrange their feathers and then looked left and right as if they were listening to something.

A shadow suddenly appeared on the ground illuminated by the moonlight, moving quickly on the dirt road, and the bird that landed on the roof seemed to feel some danger, flapping its wings and quickly flew away from the roof.

The black shadow lingered in front of each house, wanted to go in but seemed to be blocked by something, then quickly withdrew and left. Finally, as if stimulated by something, the black shadow slowly emerged from the ground and gradually revealed A tall and strong figure appeared.

A pair of eyes gleamed with blood in the darkness. It was clearly a human body but had pale skin. In the opened mouth were fangs that resembled beasts. Even the nails on the hands and feet were as sharp as knives.

If the manager of the inn was here, he would definitely recognize that this inhuman creature with a terrifying appearance was the man-eating ghost that the ancestors said.

"damn it!"

The evil ghost spat fiercely on the ground, and its already ugly face began to distort due to anger.

"How come there are wisteria flower incense burners lit everywhere in such a broken town!"

This evil ghost was originally a ghost who came from other places. He was very hungry along the way. He thought he could have a full meal in this town, but he didn't expect that every household in this town was lit with wisteria flower incense burners.

In addition to the sunlight that can turn ghosts into ashes, wisteria flowers are deadly poisonous to ghosts like them.

The ghost wrinkled its nose and sniffed the air carefully, then turned into a dark shadow and entered the ground, looking for its food for tonight.

This town has been peaceful for a long time, but no one knows that danger is quietly approaching.

The breeze carried a bit of an inaudible stench, and floated along the window into Crescent Moon's nose, who was lying in the collapsed bed and had already fallen asleep.

After becoming a half-demon queen, Yueya's sense of smell became much more sensitive, but the fishy smell was quickly covered by the faint fragrance of wisteria in the incense burner, Yueya frowned slightly in her sleep, and then continued to sleep peacefully.

Naturally, he also missed the sound of flesh and bones being swallowed and chewed from several rooms away from him.
