Why is Miyashiki-sama like that?

On the second day after the birthday, the whole day is still the rush time to go to the venue.

It's not really how far the distance is, it's just that Zhenxiang arranges too much time for herself, so she walks casually every day.

When passing an abandoned wooden house on the side of the road, Zhenxiang met a strange person.

It was a foreign man with a high nose and deep eyes, thin and tall, with a depressed face, long and curly hair, giving people a feeling of deep sea, deep and gloomy.

When Zhenxiang walked over, the man was half lying on the door of the abandoned wooden house, bowing his waist and carefully counting the annual rings on it.

Zhenxiang thought that she would not disturb the other party by quietly passing by, but the man seemed to have a radar behind him, instantly found Zhenxiang and turned around suddenly.

The movement of turning back is quite terrifying. If ordinary people can successfully imitate it, they will directly twist their cervical spine and die within a few seconds.

But the man still seemed to be alive and well, staring at Zhenxiang with a pair of very dull eyes, and murmured: "I found it."

Found what?

Zhenxiang stopped cautiously, watching the man's next move.

The man turned around and finally returned to the appearance that a human being should have. He was empty-handed, wearing an old suit, shirt, trousers, tie and windbreaker. He looked very harmless, like a poor and down-and-out scavenger uncle.

He slowly approached Zhenxiang, with a slightly hunched back, his loose long hair reminded Zhenxiang of sea waves, algae, and the flexible and slippery arms and legs of octopuses.

His eyes are even slack, as if he just used these eyes to play games all night for several nights.

But when such a pair of eyes are aimed at Zhenxiang, it gives Zhenxiang the feeling of being directly seen into the soul.

It can probably be described as the terrible stare of the fish.

"Cracked, chains..."

The man spoke very slowly and paused a lot, probably because he was not yet proficient in the language of this country.

This way of speaking creates a special eerie feeling, as if something dangerous and crazy is quietly covered up.

"Under the chain is, this world, the source of endless malice..."

Zhenxiang pursed her lips slightly.

It turned out that it was not her illusion, she really saw the soul.However, she actually has a special sense of sight towards this man, so the two sides probably see through each other.

The man twitched the corners of his mouth, trying to show a friendly smile, but unfortunately he didn't succeed. Instead, it seemed that the facial nerves of a patient with facial paralysis were twitching.

He said: "I see, the Scarlet King..."

Zhenxiang couldn't help but want to take a step back, she really felt chilly all over, as if she was being watched by a pervert.

Fortunately, the man probably felt that he had seen everything clearly, and his eyelids slowly shrugged, turning into a drowsy state, coupled with the weak way of speaking, as if he could fall asleep at any time: "Hello, I am, Lovecraft, may I follow you?"

"Why do you want to follow me?"

"A kind of attraction. The power of the Crimson King has been eroded in this world for 1000 years, and it has become a part of the essence of the world. It feels..."

Lovecraft scratched his hair in distress, finding it difficult to come up with an appropriate adjective.

He thought for a long time before he said vaguely: "It smells really fragrant..."

Really fragrant?

Zhenxiang felt that her name was inexplicably connoted, and the whole scene changed suddenly, making it funny, and she couldn't help trembling her fingers.

This was obviously just a coincidence, so she quickly calmed down: "Then are you going to attack me?"

"No, it's very comfortable to follow you. You can ask me to do things for you in return."

"Then what can you do?"

"Probably so."

Lovecraft raised his hand, and his fingers, palms, and arms gradually deformed and stretched into several soft and slippery arms and feet, and then became longer and more numerous...

"Stop." Zhenxiang felt that it was necessary to quickly end this scene that caused people to lose their SAN value, ""An old ruler"... I have fully understood your situation, I am Yuba Shiki, You can follow me if you want, but don't mess with me by showing off your abilities casually. "

"Okay." Quite simply answered.

[Zhenxiang, you seem to know Lovecraft, who is he?Will it kill ghosts? ] The system is very curious.

[The system is not level with your question.If I know you but don't, it can only be that I knew you before I met you. Do you think you can still be human? ]

[Yes. ] The system thought about Zhenxiang's body, and there was really no reason for that identity to know a mere human being, [so he is also a great devourer? ]

[The Devourer is not in the same system as the old days, but it’s okay for you to understand it this way. It’s about the same. In short, it’s higher than ghosts, and it has nothing in common with the faction that hates evil and kills ghosts to save people. ] Zhenxiang replied.

She didn't have the patience to explain well, and even started to fool around with the most unreasonable words like "almost".

The system was easily fooled, and he said very sincerely: [That's right, then I think Zhenxiang is the most powerful. ]

It recalls a beautiful first encounter with Zhenxiang.

It was a day of hard work. It used to be one of the hard-working wanderers in the system. It spent N years traveling through tens of millions of worlds, wandering in different grotesque universes, just to find the most suitable host.

This is very difficult. For a system of this type, fulfilling the wish of the host after the host completes the final task is the most important step.

But there are always wishes that cannot be fulfilled by the system. It is better to say that most of the wish systems are actually the same, such as "unify all parallel worlds", or "all men in the world are pregnant with my child", or "I Once you stomp your feet, the world trembles three times (physical meaning)".

Most wishes are so outrageous, how to control the relevant variables has become a compulsory course for every system.

Therefore, many systems will deliberately select hosts who are dying or have just died, so that the host's wish is usually "to survive" or "resurrect from death".Even if not, the system can persuade in the corresponding direction.

[Traitor System] is even more difficult, because it is a weak system, it has a "past" as its own foundation, and then all abilities are built on the foundation.

It was obviously very bad at fulfilling wishes before, so after it existed as a system, it couldn't even bring a bug back from the dead.

But the clumsy one also has a clumsy way. It found that it could detonate itself in an instant and create a controllable damage point at the cost of death. The energy generated was enough to destroy all things that contained the concept of "seal". Form a perfect stable channel.

Then, wouldn't it be appropriate to just find an existential bond that is sealed and that you can't break free from?

Based on the [traitor system] itself, and only recognizes the betrayal of "justice", and naturally stands in the villain's camp, the system feels that there is nothing wrong with binding an evil host, the stronger and more evil the better.

After filtering through layers of these conditions, the system used this as a criterion to inquire from many parties, and finally found a hidden world one day.

The system itself has the characteristic of being able to travel through myriad worlds, so it was not blocked outside, and it was easy to slip in after finding the right direction.

It was a world of salt fields, pale and barren, with seven stone pillars forming a ring, and seven chains connected downwards, six of which had been broken, while one remained mostly intact, with tiny cracks almost invisible on the surface.

Humans cannot observe these cracks, but the system can.

Vague malice seeps out from the crack, just like the shallow waves rushing to the shore at high tide, no one will underestimate the sea that throws the waves just because the waves are small.

Just feeling that bit of malice, the system couldn't help but sigh.Not a sigh of comfort, but a realization that it might be late.

Buried deep under the salt pan is a seal. A huge and fat "person" is curled up in the spherical space. The "person" has three huge horns on the top of his head, and his jaw is missing, exposing sharp teeth like thorns. Covered by countless overlapping flaky scales, it looks like some kind of deep-sea creature.

The "person" had his eyes closed, his hands and feet were curled up, his back bulged upwards, and the seven heavy hooks were deeply embedded in the flesh and blood in a rough way, firmly fixing the whole "person".

This is the ideal evil host of the system.

But also the least ideal.

Because the seal is not strong, at most another 30 years, the final chain will be completely broken, and then the "people" in the seal will be able to come out naturally, without the need for the system to intervene.

No one would be reconciled to giving up after traveling all the way to take a look, so the system cheered up and introduced itself.

Surprisingly, it quickly received a response: [I am one of the many aspects of the Crimson King, the Devourer of Worlds from the ancient times, and a prisoner under the ocean realm. You come to me and want to be with me Binding, what can it bring me? ]

It was the voice of a weak woman, like a cooling firework, a spiritual voice that humans could not hear but could communicate with the system without barriers.

The voice gushed out from the cracks in the chain, mixed with those waves of malice, it seemed so slight in the entire Yantian world, but the system would never mistakenly think that the other party was weak and harmless because of this.

[I can break the seal for you and help you descend again. ] The system said.

[Just like that?Can't you fulfill other types of wishes? ]

really.The system thought bitterly.The other party can escape from the seal only by their own strength, so of course they don't like the help it brings.

It tries not to show disappointment: [Yes, I can't. ]

The system thought that the other party should reject him unceremoniously, but a surprise happened suddenly: [Okay, I agree to be bound with you. ]

[Why? ] It couldn't help asking.

[I am too weak, I will die before the seal completely collapses, I must come again before that, bring destruction to the world, and burn all the despicable creatures that dare to offend me with my anger! ]

The woman's voice was close to gnashing of teeth, trembling with incomparable evil thoughts, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, or like a tiger roaring.

[It turned out to be like this. ] The system feels that it has been hit by happiness, and it doesn't even mind giving the host some irrelevant rights immediately: [You can choose the world yourself, after binding with me, you will get the concept of "host". Able to go to other worlds and work together to complete missions. ]

This is actually a bit like helping the host get rid of the seal in a disguised form. It is just a very fragile freedom of the soul. Compared with the real escape, it is like the difference between the picture and the real thing.

In the end, Zhenxiang saw this ghostly world with a glance, and the system generated a suitable task.

They discussed what kind of identity was the most convenient, and finally chose to be born in the birth house.

The system believes that Zhenxiang is destined to destroy the world in the future, the only difference is how many will be destroyed.

Wouldn't it be obvious that such a high-end existence would be a traitor to the Demon Slayer Team and assist Onimai Tsuji to win the villain's final victory?

So from the very beginning, the system had full confidence in Zhenxiang.

Maybe when everything is over, Zhenxiang will destroy the world with a backhand, causing the villain who just won the victory to die dramatically in the next moment, but that has nothing to do with the system.

After all, it must have ceased to exist at that time, and it would not have sympathy for Onimai Tsuji, the tool ghost used to complete the task.

Everything has been the best arrangement.
