non-human secret history

As the young man said, this is really a bit of a surprise.

I squinted my eyes and looked at the young onmyoji who had turned into a ghost with his head slightly lowered.

"It's really a long time greeting, Genji's... this Oniji-sama." Yuyi lowered his brows and looked low-key and obedient, but there was still a bit of unreasonable sharpness in his tone, as if even though he had already After living such a long time, his heart is still not smoothed a little.

Thinking about it, there would be no more docility before the lowered eyebrows.

——It's just that his tone of speech is much more euphemistic.

I don't know what he is worried about, or, after all, this too long time has caused some changes in him.

But at least I won't be more polite to him because of his change - I have never experienced such a long time.

"It's been a long time." I chuckled, not hiding the awe in my tone: "I really didn't expect to see you again, I thought you should have turned into dust..."

Before my words fell, Yu Yi raised his head slightly.With the light of the waning moon, I finally saw his current appearance clearly - the scorching pattern on his face almost crawled over half of his face, and his right eye was also in this group of patterns.

I think it might not be called an "eye" anymore.

"Yeah, it's all a gift from that lord. It allows me to have such a long lifespan."

He looked at me with the only remaining eye, probably because he had turned into a ghost, and that eye was also stained with blood.

turbid.

Gift?

I suddenly felt that I seemed to hear something intriguing from his words.To be honest, from his almost silent eyes, I can't see the slightest bit of gratitude that he has lived for so long.

Or maybe this was the punishment imposed on him by that man—although I have no way of guessing his state of mind at that time, but I think, at least for Yoichi, with the strength of that man, he dragged this completely unrecognizable Living through such a long period of time in the body is not a kind of torture.

Maybe he wanted to live, but at least he didn't want to live carelessly in such a posture.

"What a touching reunion of old people—" the young man with oak-colored hair beside him said with emotion.He seemed completely unaware of the tense atmosphere in the air, but there was an unreasonable and elusive playfulness in his words: "Since it is so rare, why not let me decide and invite this lady to my place Stay for a while."

I narrowed my eyes subconsciously, and looked sideways at the man—of course I wouldn't be so naive as to take such a statement as a sincere invitation.In fact, the so-called rare reunion is nothing more than a well-designed routine by him.

—He seems to know a lot about me.

This made me wonder about his real intentions, or rather, I was even more curious about where did he know about me?

Yu Yi told him?Or... that man?

When that face passed through my mind, I just felt that my back was a little stiff.

——I want to see him, but I don't want to see him either.

It's just that driven by such thoughts, I don't know what action I should take.

Just think about it.

I took a deep breath.I know that my state is a bit too much, no matter how complicated my emotions are, it shouldn't be like this.

After all, the person standing in front of me is not him, nor will it be him.

There was some confusion in my mind, I forcefully raised the corners of my lips, and said: "It's really a coincidence, but this Mr. Yu Yi and I only met by chance, and there are not many things to talk about, so it's just a matter of thinking about it." You don't need to bother me."

"Then what if I want to invite you to be our guest?" The young man folded his folding fan and tapped it lightly on the palm of his hand twice: "If it is I who want you to watch the moon with me, are you willing to go back with me?"

"Your words are a bit of a joke." I raised my hands to cover my face, lowered my eyes, trying to make myself look calmer at the moment: "I'm not casual enough to go home with a strange man."

"This is really troublesome." The man raised his hand and put the edge of the fan against his forehead—but he still had a playful smile on his face, without any trouble at all: "I won't invite anyone easily , but it’s rare to send out such an invitation, and it’s so sad to be rejected so bluntly.”

As he spoke, he walked towards me.I couldn't help frowning, and stepped back subconsciously.

Seeing my reaction like this, he stopped in his tracks, bent his eyes and smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I am a little concerned about whether you may have misunderstood. After all, I have not been appointed by anyone to send you such an invitation. Just my thoughts."

"You really don't want to go back with me?"

Saying this, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he revealed a pair of delicate fangs like eightfold teeth.

And the smell of blood on his body seemed to be clearer.

"Is this considered coercion?" I raised my eyebrows, and my body tensed up even more.

If you really want to fight...

"No, it's just an invitation." The young man opened the fan again.From this distance, I could clearly see how sharp the edges of his fans were.

Yuyi also quietly walked around behind me, forming a subtle pincer attack with the young man.

——Although I think that the two of them have no real intention to fight me, and I have no reason to fight them, but under such threats, my mood is still getting a little irritated.

I was thinking about how to get out, but suddenly there was another sentence in my ear that I had to pay attention to.

"Or we can discuss some topics you are interested in, such as the one who just left... that ghost princess named Hua Ji."

The pupils suddenly tightened.

I looked at that man in some amazement, and when my eyes fell on his pair of colorful eyes, there was a little smugness in those eyes.

——He really knows something about me, otherwise why would he raise such a bargaining chip at this time?

At this moment, even the information about Oni Wu Tsuji will only cause me more troubles, but about Hua Ji, I want to know anyway.

Even if there is no order from the leader of the ghost clan.

Because this is Genji's business.

"As for the information on such a beauty, I have more or less grasped it." The young man narrowed his eyes and smiled brilliantly.

"If you want to know, at least come back to the teaching circle with me, prepare some refreshments and explain in detail."

"By the way, my name is Tong Mo, and I'm the patriarch of the Bliss Sect." He added, "I know you, Miss Oniji of Genji."

"This is the memory carried in the blood. The adult gave me this memory when he gave me the blood. Since then, I have been looking forward to seeing you."

Putting aside the ambiguity in these words, I think this man probably really has something I'm interested in—although I don't know what his real purpose is, but since the other party has already shown his chips, then put It's okay for this deal to continue.

——Left and right, this was the initiative of the other party to pester them.

Slightly bowing my head, I also showed a caressing smile that is most often seen in the business field: "Then please lead the way."

The teaching forum of Wan Shi Bliss Sect is not located in a bustling city, but it is not a sparsely populated village either—at least the scene in the teaching is much more lively than I imagined.

I didn't expect that Tong Mo, as a ghost, could live in such a grand manner among so many ordinary human beings, accepting their incense and offerings with peace of mind.

And those people's faces are really devout.

When I returned to the altar, the long night was gradually coming to an end.The waning moon in the sky fell to the west, almost disappearing behind this group of rather magnificent buildings.When he opened the door and entered the room, Tong Mo couldn't help sighing: "Oh, it's almost dawn."

These words left me in a trance for a moment for no reason.

A lot of things happened this past night, which made this night seem extraordinarily long-but I suddenly couldn't remember what happened this night.

"You look a little tired." Turning his head, Tong Mo stared at me with those brilliantly colored eyes: "Although I also want to spend more time with you, maybe that topic is still waiting for you It’s better to continue after a break.”

"Anyway..." After taking two steps towards me, Tong Mo raised his arms and spread his palms towards me: "Time is still long."

"Are you concerned about me?" Ignoring his hand stretched out to me, I just looked straight into his eyes like that: "Compared to such things, I am a little more curious, why do you have to bring me here No? Now that I have fulfilled your wish and come here, shouldn’t you also answer my doubts? At least one question should be answered—”

Tong Mo's expression didn't change the slightest because of my words, he just took his hand back naturally, put it on the tail of the pair of fans pinned beside him, tilted his head slightly, and said softly: " It's because I care about your business."

This is of course not the answer I was looking for.

——It is true that this is not a lie, but his ambiguous words that are almost teasing are just a trick to get away with it in every sense.

Say something about caring—of course I would not be naive enough to think that this man I met for the first time would have any other emotions for me, but I think if it wasn't for the "care" he said, no one would bother These twists and turns brought me to such a place on purpose.

But what I want to hear is not his "care", but the reason why he "cares" about me.

——Even though I already had a vague guess in my heart, I still didn't dare, or rather, didn't want to use my own guesses to ascertain this matter.

"If I tell you what you want to know immediately, you will leave here immediately." Seeing that I did not respond, the young man took another half step forward and continued: "I am very interested in your affairs, so I I hope you can stay with me a little longer."

While speaking, he moved closer and stopped at a distance of only half an arm from me: "I hope you can stay with me."

Tong Mo's attitude really made it impossible to tell the truth - at least to my ears, none of his inexplicable and affectionate words came from the heart.

And he didn't hide it at all, he was quite honest about the fact that he was lying.

"Then I'll stay here for the time being." I said, "As you said, at least I won't leave until I get the answer I want to know."
