Why is Miyashiki-sama like that?

Before seeing Yosano Akiko, Zhenxiang imagined the girl's appearance a little bit, thinking that she should be a literary girl who was hurt by love.

According to Sakata Gintoki's description, Yosano Akiko is very cute and likes beautiful flowers and Japanese desserts.So before going to the isolation facility, Zhenxiang went to the flower shop to buy a bouquet of flowers to hold in her hand, and then went to the dim sum shop to buy some snacks.

When she entered the facility with these two things, she felt out of place with the surroundings because of the bright atmosphere around her. It was like inserting a child's crayon drawing into a Gothic painting album, which was very abrupt.

It is a facility specially used to isolate dangerous supernatural beings. Let alone entering, it is impossible for ordinary people to even know the location. Sakata Gintoki has clarified the address through some means, but if he really took the issuing card with him, he probably just went to the facility. When you walk to the door, you will be stopped, and you can only enter unless you force your way.

Zhenxiang directly reported the name of the Sanyashiki family, knocked on the door with the fruit of face, and was successfully led in through the secret channel.

The person who received her was a young man, wearing a pair of round-frame glasses, with his hair combed back on his forehead, and a mole above the corner of his left lip. He was dressed in a neat suit, very scholarly, and at the same time looked a little green because of his age. .

The young man's name was Ango Sakaguchi: "Mr. Taneda sent me to take you to pick up Yosano Akiko."

"Then it's up to you."

The corridor of the facility is narrow, straight and empty. It is obviously an old building. The walls are stained with mottled stains that cannot be seen. Zhenxiang is wearing a white feather with a purple pattern on the lower half, holding flowers in one hand, Carrying snacks in one hand, it seems to be on the wrong set, and at the same time, it seems reasonable because of the too indifferent aura.

Along the way, Ango Sakaguchi looked at Zhenxiang frequently, but his movements were somewhat reserved.

He is a person who knows the village of Ubuyashiki. Although he has never met him in the past, because he is in the Supernatural Special Affairs Section, he knows a lot of information about the Demon Slayer Squad that ordinary people cannot understand.

According to the information, the leader of the ghost killing team in his mind should be a powerful and mysterious leader, tall and majestic, with broad and hard shoulders, carrying a sun wheel knife on his back to command all the fighting in the night.

But the actual situation seems to be too different, he actually saw a boy?

Moreover, he was carrying flowers and snacks, not to mention the Sun Wheel Knife, he didn't carry any weapons at all, if it wasn't for the aura all over his body, he would really think there was something wrong.

About half a year ago, the former military doctor Mori Ogai had contacted him in a complicated way, and jointly investigated Mortar Street with him. The results of the investigation were of great importance. Can further trace the virtual trace.

At that time, Chief Tanada once said: "I didn't expect the enemy to infiltrate so deeply in Yokohama. If it can be proved that Xu is a ghost, this matter must be handed over to the Demon Slayer Squad."

At that time, Ango Sakaguchi knew that although the Demon Slayer Squad had never done anything in Yokohama, the real high-level people attached great importance to it.

After that, Ango Sakaguchi became curious about the Ghost Slayer Squad, so he squeezed out some spare time from work to learn about the history of the Ghost Slayer Squad's contact with the authorities.

He found that the swordsmen of the Ghost Killing Squad seldom take the initiative to contact the authorities. Only when they accidentally exposed their swords and were imprisoned, they reluctantly reported their families.

The Ubuyashiki family that leads the Ghost Killing Team is even more mysterious, and the reason for occasionally contacting the official is to recruit talents for the Ghost Killing Team.

So this time, Ubuyashiki Zhenxiang came to this gradually forgotten facility to recruit talents, right?

"What's Ango thinking?" Zhenxiang asked as if she was a familiar face.

"I was thinking, it's great that Mr. Ubuyashiki is willing to come and pick up Akiko Yosano. She is still young, and it would be a pity to be locked up in this facility for the rest of her life."

Am I here to pick someone up?Zhenxiang had a question mark in her heart.She thought that she had obtained the qualification to visit the prison just by selling face. Could it be that she also obtained the right to release the detainee on bail before she knew it?

Zhenxiang decided not to refute for now, but to collect more information from Ango Sakaguchi before saying: "If I don't take her away, will she be imprisoned for a lifetime?"

"Yes. In fact, it was not like this. Her abilities are very strong. If she wanted to, no one would lock up such a talent for nothing, but she doesn't want to come out."

"Is it because she thinks her supernatural power will hurt the people around her?" Zhenxiang guessed.

Sakaguchi Ango nodded: "Yes."

[Oh, Zhenxiang, this seems pretty good!Wouldn't it be possible for a person with supernatural powers who would harm people around him to be placed in the Ghost Killing Squad to harm swordsmen in various ways? ]

Zhenxiang thinks the system's idea is very good: [Well, and she refused to leave this facility by herself, which shows that she has a serious psychological barrier, and it happens to be able to spread negative energy around at the same time. ]

This is probably unintentional, it was originally just to return a butterfly card to someone, but it turned out to bring an important talent back to the Ghost Killing Squad.

"Very good, done."

"What did you just say?" Ango Sakaguchi wanted to scratch his ears.

Zhenxiang said as if nothing had happened: "I just said that I will definitely enlighten that child and encourage her to take the initiative to return to the sun."

"What you said just now is obviously not this sentence." Sakaguchi Ango complained.

But in this way, he is not nervous anymore, and he is no longer restrained when facing Zhenxiang.When he walked to the place and opened the door, he solemnly nodded to Zhenxiang: "I will trouble you with Yosano Akiko."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of her." Zhenxiang nodded and promised.

Pushing open the closed door, Zhenxiang walked into the empty room, and saw a girl curled up in a corner with blank eyes, unresponsive to the arrival of outsiders.

There is no need to doubt anything at all, it is obviously the appearance of suffering from mental illness for a long time, even because of psychological problems that affect the health of the body, the skin is pale and the limbs are weak, so that it is difficult to walk normally.

Ango Sakaguchi pushed the wheelchair that had been prepared in advance, Zhenxiang tried to reach out to the girl, showing a gentle smile: "Akiko, sit in the wheelchair, I will take you out of here, how about it?"

The girl slowly rolled her eyes and looked at Zhenxiang firmly: "No, I can't go out."

"why?"

"Around me, life becomes cheap... so I can no longer live in this world..."

The speech with Akiko Yosano made Zhenxiang slightly stunned.Because she found that the first half of the sentence seemed to be applicable to herself?Conclusion: This is indeed a nonsense sentence suitable for various roles.

Although it is not clear what the special ability with Akiko Yosano is, Zhenxiang already has a clear understanding of the conversation routines that can be used next.

"Do you really think that other people's lives will become cheap just because you have special abilities?"

Yosano Akiko became a little excited because of Zhenxiang's words: "Of course! My superpowers are always too easy to save lives, no one can escape, ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times, There will never be an end! In this way, everyone's lives will of course become irrelevant!"

"Shh..." Zhenxiang put her index finger on her lips, and smiled to comfort the trembling girl, "Akiko needs to calm down. Now, Akiko likes flowers, doesn't she? Don't you like desserts too? I'll give them all to you."

She knelt down and handed the gift into the girl's arms.A question was quietly raised in his mind: [System, what is her ability?Does it sound like a healing ability? ]

[Healing abilities shouldn't force people like this...] The system feels very suspicious.

Zhenxiang also felt that it was not possible, so she changed her thinking: [That is the ability to turn people into zombies? ]

[It seems that this possibility is more likely. ]

While guessing with the system, Zhenxiang asked: "Jingzi thinks, do the picked flowers look better, or the flowers growing in the field look better?"

"..." The girl moved her lips, but she didn't answer, but slowly hugged the bouquet and snacks.This is not because of the greedy heart of a child who wants everything, but because the body feels lonely and helpless, and subconsciously wants to hug something.

Zhenxiang gently touched the girl's hair lovingly: "Sure enough, I still think the flowers in the field are more beautiful? Compared with the dim light bulb, the bright sunshine is more beautiful. It is better to die than to spit on yourself and die sadly." It is more meaningful to live happily and do what you want to do."

She held the girl's cold hand, and passed on the warmth in her hand: "I can assure Akiko that as long as Akiko is unwilling to use the ability, no one will force you to use it, and you may even never use it. "

"I can't do it..."

"Why can't it be done?" Zhenxiang shook her head, "Jingzi's ability is obviously very ordinary, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't need it. Don't you believe it? Then I'll tell a story."

Zhenxiang edited, deleted, edited, and mixed together several ghost stories she knew, telling a super sad tragedy.

The essence of the story is that people who value their lives more will die tragically, while ghosts who wantonly eat people can easily live forever. Those "longevity" have nothing to do with supernatural powers, and they will not look cheap at all.

Even on the contrary, the value of Gui Changsheng is too heavy, so heavy that it will crush many people.In front of ghosts, those human beings who only have one life are cheap and stupid.

"Compared to ghosts, Akiko's ability is too weak. If Akiko was in this story, even if she ran around desperately, she would not be able to achieve any results, right? Because the abilities of ghosts are far better than humans, and they are far more powerful than human beings." Far better than Akiko."

Zhenxiang smiled and said very heartbreaking words, and saw the girl crying silently.He obviously wanted to cry bitterly, but he just gritted his teeth and said nothing.

At the same time, Zhenxiang could hear someone secretly wiping tears behind her, and Ango Sakaguchi was also very moved.

The system is the most open, crying loudly in her mind: [It's too abusive, Zhenxiang, why are you abusing people so casually? ]

[I didn't innovate the plot much, I just put various elements together and talked about it. ]

[Excessive, you do this every time!Even though you told such an abusive story, you didn't seem to be touched in any way. ]

[I can’t help it. After all, I’m the host you fancy. I’m destined to destroy the world. It’s only natural that I lack empathy. ]

Yosano Akiko slowed down for a while, stabilized his mood, and said in a low voice: "What you told is not true, it's just a story. Ghosts don't exist in this world."

"No, they exist." The person who refuted was Ango Sakaguchi, who unexpectedly did not continue to serve as the background board, "Ghosts do exist, so everything that happened in the story should be true."

"Impossible..." Yosano Akiko's eyes trembled in disbelief.

Zhenxiang took advantage of the situation and suggested: "If you don't believe me, just go out with me and have a look. The world is huge. After seeing the world clearly, you will understand that your abilities are not worth mentioning at all."

Feeling that the atmosphere was almost heated, Zhenxiang took out a metal hairpin in the shape of a butterfly from her sleeve, and solemnly delivered it to the girl.

The girl held it in amazement, at first she squeezed so hard that her knuckles turned white, then she immediately let go as if she was afraid that the hairpin would deform.

She said in a trembling voice, "You know...but I obviously haven't mentioned this to anyone!"

Didn't mention anything?Was it about being abandoned by Sakata Gintoki?It's not convenient to say it directly.

Zhenxiang sighed softly with pity, and put on the look of "I already know everything, you don't need to say more".

The girl tried her best to restrain her emotions, and tried to speak clearly in a steady voice: "But, the person I cherish died because of me, will the same thing happen again in the future?"

Um?What is this?Did you kill anyone with supernatural powers?

Zhenxiang couldn't understand what Yosano Akiko was talking about at all, but this didn't prevent her from responding in time: "It's painful, right? I know, because my brother died because of me. I think, the future life In addition to remembering him, I probably can only use my brain to find a way to prevent this kind of thing from happening again."

She paused, and felt that when talking to a little girl, it would be most effective to take care of everything: "Listen, as long as I'm here, the things you're afraid of will never happen." Happen again."

Generally speaking, at this point, the other party will definitely ask: "Why? What is so awesome about you that you can fulfill your promise?" This is not easy to answer.

So before anyone else could ask any questions, Zhenxiang continued naturally: "We don't care about your supernatural powers, but your heart. Jingzi, your sorrow is the most valuable and precious thing in my opinion." .”

[Just use sadness to hurt those optimists around you severely! ]

After she finished speaking, she hugged the girl with a smile: "What else do you have to say? If you have nothing to say, just obediently follow me to see the sun outside."

Many years later, Yosano Akiko can still recall that gentle hug and that autumn high sun.

-

It took a while for Yosano Akiko to slowly get out of the wheelchair, so Zhenxiang temporarily placed her in the house she rented above the "Whirlpool" cafe.

After two days of contact like this, Zhenxiang finally figured out the supernatural power with Yosano Akiko.It was really healing, and the effect was amazing. She immediately wanted to take back the previous persuasion words, and felt that the person who should be persuaded most now was herself.

Fortunately, the system remained calm for the time being: [It's not a big problem. Although this ability is superficially strong, there must be some major negative effect secretly that we haven't discovered, otherwise Akiko Yosano would not be forced to want to die. ]

[Then are we going to give her a chance to use her powers to see?But she herself resisted it. ] Zhenxiang was worried, but after thinking about it, she realized that this is very good, [Actually, as long as she keeps refusing to use it, then we don't need to worry. ]

[Yes, a fragile little girl can only be a drag in Ghost Slayer. ]

The system and the host reached a consensus on this, and this matter was temporarily settled.

Zhenxiang took out the mobile phone that hadn't been used for a long time and charged it, and soon received a call from Mori Ogai, making an appointment to meet at the clinic.

Although she was not very happy, she sat in the coffee shop drinking milk and procrastinated for a while, because she really wanted to ask: "When are you going to ask Dazai back?"

Walking along the familiar road to the clinic, Zhenxiang felt some changes before opening the door.

For example, she smelled the sweet and greasy cake smell in the clinic, and heard Mori Ogai speaking in a disgusting tone that she had never heard before: "Alice-chan~ Please, Alice-chan, just try this dress ~It’s really cute and suits you~”

Zhenxiang stood outside the door and meditated for ten seconds, then turned around and walked back.

Within two steps, the door of the clinic opened behind her, Mori Ogai seemed to know that she was outside, and waved to her naturally: "Mr. Right? The hot water has been poured for you."

Zhenxiang glanced over Mori Ogai's shoulder and saw a very cute blonde girl: "Did I come at a bad time?"

"How come? You come at the right time." Mori Ogai cheerfully welcomed Zhenxiang in, "Muyashiki-kun has been busy with other things since he came to Yokohama, and he didn't even notify me. After so many days I didn't even say to see you, I thought you didn't remember me anymore."

"How come? I came back to Yokohama this time to meet Mr. Mori on a special trip." Zhenxiang said in almost the same tone as Mori Ogai, hypocritical to the point of failure.

She really didn't imitate on purpose, but she would be taken away by Sen Ou with one mouthful, and she didn't know why.

Mori Ogai enthusiastically brought the water glass to Zhenxiang: "Did you really come here to see me? It seems that I misunderstood, and I thought that Ubuyashiki-kun deliberately rushed one step ahead of me to cut off my beard."

"Cut off?" Zhenxiang expressed her innocence.What did she do?

Mori Ogai sighed: "Yesterday I went to a facility that isolates dangerous supernatural beings. It was really hard to find out about that place, but they finally found it, but they said that Ubuyashiki-kun had already come and took it away. What about a cute little girl, I just found out that Ubayashiki-kun has returned to Yokohama."

When Zhenxiang heard half of it, she couldn't help but cast her eyes on the blonde girl.She saw the blond girl's cheeks puffed up because of Mori Ogai's words, and she raised her foot to kick Mori Ogai's calf viciously.

"That's it..." Because she had diverted her attention, Zhenxiang became careless when she responded, even showing a little arrogance.

She didn't pay attention to what Mori Ogai was saying at all, she just thought about how many kicks this little girl named Alice would have to kick Mori Ogai until he broke his leg.

"It's true... that's what happened. It's indeed my fault that I didn't tell you that I'm back." She looked back with difficulty, not knowing what nonsense she was talking about.

Mori Ogai sighed deeply again, as if he had completely conceded defeat: "Well, I also see that Sanyashiki-kun is short of manpower recently, so I will take the initiative to recommend one for you, and I just hope you don't do it again in the future." Do something that embarrasses me."

Um?What did I do?Is it embarrassing for you to go back to Yokohama without notifying you?Zhenxiang felt that this Mori Ogai was simply inexplicable.
