[Comprehensive] The ghost lamp of the blue lamp

In Qingdeng's eyes, at this gathering of demon masters, among the guests were not only demon masters and shikigami, but also a group of dead people that no one seemed to see except him.

It is easy to distinguish the dead from the living, not only because of their own differences (the dead in Japan cannot see their feet), but also because most of the dead wear the clothes of the dead, that is, shrouds.

Among a group of demon exorcists wearing black patterned hakama and patterned kimonos, there was a group of dead people wearing white triangular scarves on their heads and white dead people's clothes, walking by floating, and they could be distinguished at a glance.

Although there are similar dresses in the Shikigami of the Exorcist, most of them are extremely abstract, and the two can be distinguished just by looking at the face.

Xia Mu seemed to have heard the extremely terrifying words, and he said uneasy: "You mean there are many... dead people here?" He didn't dare to say anything about ghosts, so he changed his name after Qing Deng.

The feeling of being watched is getting stronger and stronger.

"A lot, probably no less than the monster extermination masters at the scene." Black and white are mixed together, and it feels crowded when you look at it.

The dead here are not a dangerous existence. They gathered in groups and watched the exorcists and shikigami in the venue with great interest. Qing Deng could hear their conversations. It seemed that these dead were all After he passed away, he suddenly discovered that there were monsters in the world, and when the other party couldn't see him, he came to watch with great interest.

Although there are Tujini who can predict death in the Guiding Section of Hell, the number of active prison guards is still too small. Compared with the population of Japan, even if they work very hard to pick up the dead every day, there will still be some dead who can’t live in the prison. When they died, they were taken away immediately, which caused some dead people to go to the places they wanted to go when they were alive. You can catch a bunch of running dead everywhere.

Don't think that the dead are muddle-headed. In fact, their personalities are no different from those in life, and even more "lively and bold".

So Qing Deng was not surprised to see such a bunch of dead people stranded in the present world, but he was surprised that these guys were so brave enough to come to the demon master's territory.

Although the exorcists seem to be unable to see the dead, their spells and other attacks are also effective on the dead. If one is accidentally affected, the already weak dead will probably be wiped out.

This is not the other world, there is no special power that can automatically restore the dead.

Should it be said that they are newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, or are they bold because of ignorance?

Unlike Qingdeng, who was already immune to the dead because he had seen too many dead in hell, Natsume, a young man who had never seen the dead before, only felt that the venue was very windy at the moment, as if nowhere was safe.

He picked up Mr. Cat and hugged him in his arms. The warm body temperature of the cat made him relax a little.

On the contrary, Mr. Cat yelled in a voice that only they could hear to continue drinking and eating, but from the fact that it didn't really struggle, but just said not to do it, we can know that Mr. Cat is actually caring about Natsume of.

It also taught Natsume endlessly: "You are too timid. If that kind of thing really dares to do something, I will definitely eat them all!"

"Well, then I'll take care of Mr. Kitty." Natsume smiled and lifted Mr. Kitty a little higher, rubbing the chin exposed under the mask against its soft body.

Teacher Cat seemed to froze for a moment, and soon began to instruct Natsume to bring it something to eat.

Natsume readily followed suit.

On the other hand, Qing Deng, a bystander, felt a little weird watching this harmonious scene of master and pet (master and servant? Master and apprentice?).

If I remember correctly, Mr. Cat is a big monster, right?And the big monster seems to be able to transform into a human form... Should he also isolate this pair of main pets?

Forget it, not to mention that the relationship between these two is deeper than his, will Natsume listen to him, even the cat teacher doesn't look like he will take Natsume away.

Even if it was taken away, it was a big monster with a long life, so there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

Just when Qing Deng's thoughts were about to float out of the sky and run towards outer space, Di Chang Jingsi, the host of the banquet, finally appeared in the venue, attracting the attention of all the demon masters.

After watching Zhang Jingsi's speech in the corner, Qing Deng tilted his head and whispered to Natsume: "Who is that woman standing beside him?"

Hearing his question, Natsume frowned, and said in a slightly repulsive tone, "That's Mr. Jiba's secretary, Ms. Nanase"

"You don't like her?" Qing Deng heard it right away, very surprised, even when facing Chang Jingsi, Natsume's rejection would not be so obvious.

Natsume pursed her lips and said, "Ms. Nanase is used to using weak shikigami as bait to catch and destroy powerful monsters. Generally, the shikigami she chooses as bait will basically die."

When Qing Deng heard it, he immediately lost his affection for Ms. Nanase. He clutched his chin (he likes to use this movement to think after being with Ghost Lantern for a long time), and said: "Based on the standards of monsters, the two of us are considered Weak, right?"

Natsume couldn't laugh or cry, and then joked: "That's you, grandma said that if I wake up, I must be a powerful half-demon."

He doesn't reject his half-demon status anymore. On the contrary, for Natsume, half-demon status is a bond with his relatives, a bloodline passed down from generation to generation of Natsume's family.

Even Natsume is actually looking forward to the awakening, so that he can visit his parents in the next life.

Qing Deng curled his lips when he heard the words: "What's wrong with Qing Xing Deng, I'm still an SSR anyway." He was including the game.

The two of them bickered back and forth, until a slender figure walked up to them, then they closed their mouths tacitly.

"What are you talking about? So happy." Natori Zhou appeared in front of them holding a wine glass.

"Tell me some bad things about the Chang family." Qing Deng smiled and said, "Are you done with your work? Did you find anything?"

How can you be happy when you say bad things?Not thinking about the truth of his words, Natori Monday shrugged and said: "Although everyone is very keen to discuss this topic, there is very little useful information. The only thing I know now is that every deceased has some Very weird behavior, like suddenly becoming very hungry, always crying hungry, and..." He paused, and said solemnly: "Their internal organs seem to be missing."

Qingdeng and Natsume looked at each other in blank dismay, which really sounded more and more weird.

Qing Deng asked: "What does it mean that the internal organs are missing?"

"It literally means, because their deaths were too bizarre, and they were not sure whether they were made by monsters. Some family members called the police. After the corpse in the autopsy room, the police found that all internal organs in the deceased's body were gone. They disappeared very quickly. It was clean, without leaving any traces, as if the deceased did not have these internal organs in the first place."

Natsume murmured, "It doesn't sound like something humans can do."

Apart from being chased by monsters since he was a child, Natsume has never encountered other dangers. To him, this kind of cruel murder is a story that only appears in TV news and detective novels, which sounds very unreal.

And very scary.

On the contrary, Qingdeng had seen a lot of the dead being tortured in hell—although most of them were blocked by the system—so he was able to maintain his composure when he heard such appalling news.

He even discussed with the system in his mind who the murderer would be.

[It sounds a bit like a hungry ghost. 】

Hungry ghosts are the products of the hungry ghosts in the six realms of reincarnation. They are uneasy ghosts who are constantly tormented by hunger and thirst. They look very ugly and are always hungry. Because of committing crimes such as "greedy and deceiving others" during his lifetime, he was cast into the realm of hungry ghosts and reincarnated as hungry ghosts.

This kind of hungry ghost is different from those who starved to death because of poverty and hunger. If the latter did not commit any crimes, they would not be sent to the realm of hungry ghosts.

Systematic guessing gave Qing Deng some clues. Gluttony before death really looked like being possessed by a hungry ghost, but shouldn’t eating too much be enough to make you die?How could even the internal organs disappear?

And if it is a hungry ghost in the hungry ghost realm, how did it escape from hell?The current hell is so strict that not even a fly can fly out without permission.

(Suddenly thought of Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies.)

If some hungry ghosts really escaped from hell, how come they don't know anything about it?But no jailer dared to play any tricks with the ghost lamp.

He couldn't think of answers to these questions, and the system couldn't answer them either. After all, they only knew that such hungry ghosts existed, but no one had seen them.

But Qing Deng still told the guess to the two people: "If you suddenly become very good at eating and start eating too much, I think it may be possessed by a hungry ghost. I think you should have heard of this kind of ghost. Ever? It’s the kind of hungry ghost who can eat anything and can’t get enough.”

Natsume immediately thought of the legend about hungry ghosts that he had heard before, but Natori Yiyi couldn't believe it: "You mean that there are ghosts in this world? This is impossible. Whether it is a human or a monster, the soul will be idle after death. of."

Although Natori Yiyi has never seen the appearance of a person's soul after death, he is a monster extermination master, and the number of monsters he eliminated is unknown. When those monsters died, they were like broken mirrors, which shattered with a bang. Then it turned into light spots and disappeared, and there was no soul at all.

So Natori Monday does not believe in the existence of ghosts in this world at all.
